    While 76 percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the direction of the country

    What the absolute fuck?? These fucking people would be happy with the direction of north Korea. Decades of relentless propaganda have really done a number on these people and destroyed their critical thinking

      65% of Republican voters are ages 50 and over, these people don’t really care about anything except their retirement accounts. So long as Republicans can keep the stock market growing they don’t give a shit.

        Unseat Republicans? I remind you that faith in the DNC is also near it’s lowest. There are ZERO independents in the house and TWO in the senate (Bernie Sanders and Angus King).

        It would take record breaking volunteering for the DNC across every state to fix that, or otherwise it would take a cataclysmic event.

      Imagine you were a vaguely decent “Republican”, who sees what Trump is doing and his the broader party is enabling him, and dislikes it.

      When you get polled, what are the chances that you decide to identify as independent rather than claim that Republican affiliation soon?
