Lots of winning

Trump's approval is 51% per Rasmussen, same as last week

I could keep posting Rich Baris X posts ripping the fraud that is Harry Enten but that might be another bannable offense. This will be the last one (of 2)

 

Is that the same Rasmussen who predicted a Republican wave election in 2022?
It Looks Like the Republican Wave Is Coming In
FYI: The Republican had a net gain of 13 House seats in 2022 while enough for them to regain the majority it was nowhere close to the wave elections of 1994 and 2010 when the Republicans picked up more than 40 seats and 60 seats respectively.
Edit: For clarification while the article was on the Rasmussen website it wasn't actually written by Scott Rasmussen.

 

The same Rasmussen who was a top 5 pollster in 2024 (some say #1). If you're going to judge pollsters you have to look at what percentages of the vote they give to each candidate. If a pollster has the Pubs ahead by 0.1-0.4,% in 5 races but there is net fraud favoring Dems of 1% in all of the races and all 5 Dem candidates win by 0.1%,, you might say the pollster missed every race. I'd say the opposite.

Classic example from memory: In 2020 Trafalgar said Trump was ahead by 2% in Pennsylvania but might have to win by 5% to overcome the margin of fraud

 

Not really very impressive. My dog produced it's most attractive defecation this week too.


We're about to throw 11.8 million people off the insurance rolls, and add over $4 trillion to the debt, just so Donald Trump and other rich people can get a big tax cut. And we're doing it more or less ....... this week.

That sure is what winning looks like, amirite?

 

More winning? Go woke, go broke.

 

The American people now hate Donald Trump, thanks to his Big Beautiful Bill. Even Trump's chief financial backer is going in the opposite direction, promising to finance campaigns of anyone running against any Congressman or Senator who votes for this bill. As usual, MAGA supporters will be the last to recognize that America hates Donald Trump. Trump may be the first president to make himself a lame duck president in less than six months on the job. I do have to admit, however, that Trump is the greatest clown to ever work in the Oval Office, if I may pay him a compliment.

 

No we're not. National debt is going up. Prices of imported goods are going up. Poverty is going up. Global warming is accelerating. Proven oil reserves are going down. International reputation and influence are going down. Access to health care is going down. Government services are going down. Bipartisan cooperation is going down. None of that indicates winning to me.

What is it that causes you to believe that the U.S. is winning?

 

I think he's happy that Donald Trump is about to get a tax cut?









At the expense of throwing 11.8 million people off the insurance rolls.

#WINNING!

Edit; plus, he's just been waiting for 9 long years of slavish Trump support for the opportunity to claim they were finally "winning." (it's been a grim, mean, parching time in that desert of losing. Painful.)

 

LOL, pretty sure the CBO is a lot better than "wild speculation."

Weird post though - would it bother you if 11.8 million people were kicked off Medicaid? Are you just trying to convince yourself that the expert forecasts are inaccurate? After all, you have tons of experience at this, and all the resources of ...... the internet. What knowledge and expertise does the CBO have at scoring bills?

Starting to maybe wonder if some of the things you support, like this bill for one, aren't really such good things after all?

 

Also, it's not my forecast of 11.8 million people losing their health insurance as a result of the Donald Trump Deficit-Funded Tax Cuts for the Rich Bill. It's the forecast of the non-partisan CBO. They're a whole lot better at forecasting these things than I am. Or you are.

And if they are wrong, it's every bit as likely that they under-estimate this number as they over-estimate it.

If you want to be intellectually honest, you should just say;
- "I don't care what the experts say, I think my own personal forecast is much, much better."

or;
- "I don't care if appx 11.8 million people lose their health insurance. This bill is so awesome that it's worth that."

At least be honest.

 

A lot of speculation there

 

Please don't take offense to this, but I believe a forecast from the non-partisan CBO much more than I believe one from you. (or me, for that matter.)

So yes, obviously I believe this.

You seem to be going with;
- "I don't care what the experts say, I think my own personal forecast is much, much better."

 

What's next, you also don't believe that the Trump Deficit-Funded Tax Cuts for the Rich Bill will add $3-4 trillion to the debt?

That's also something someone could choose to believe. Could base it on:
- "Nah. I like Trump!"

 

Whoa, hey now - not the ole "reading comprehension" line - that's heavy-duty.

Maybe your reading comprehension is off though, because I didn't dispute your numbers. Just your repeated insinuation that the CBO clearly is wrong ...... based on your personal research.

I'm going to be open minded though. I'm going to reassess this with a totally open mind and really try to figure out whether I should accept the forecast and scoring of a bill by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, who does this with, uh, every single bill ever proposed. Or if i should go with the analysis from ...... OklahomaGator.

We can table this for a while, it might take some time to figure out who has more credibility on issues like this.
