Uh, God, I, I hate to even say it because every time I talk about the Democrats, oh, that Papantonio he's moved to the right. Really? No, I'm just trying to tell stories about what everything is being reported, what the polls are showing. Talk about this story.<br />Yeah. And this is, you know, for the record, this is from the New York magazine, which is a super liberal.<br />Yes, yes.<br />Publication, and it's not an attack, it's a warning for the Democrats.<br />Yeah.<br />They right now, according to polls have a negative 19% approval rating, which is worse than the Republican party at negative 11, worse than Donald Trump at negative 17, worse than Kamala Harris who's also at negative 17. But the fact that the Democratic party.<br />Let, let me ask you something. Give me some, round that out a little bit. These numbers, the minus 17, minus 19.<br />Yeah. It, it just means that there's 19% more who say that they have an unfavorable view.<br />Yeah.<br />Than a favorable view.<br />Okay. Right.<br />And when you have a Republican party that to this day denies the results of the 2020 election, you got the Capitol riot, you've got all these nut jobs out there defending white supremacists. And when the general public looks and says, but I still like them better than these, how did this even happen? How is that even possible? I don't have an answer for that because this is just plain nutty.<br />Yeah.<br />At this point. And I guess it's because Biden had these lofty promises, right? $50,000 student loan debt, I'm gonna take care of that.<br />Where is that? Is, is it even moving?<br />It keeps bouncing around every time the polls get low.<br />Well, Republicans are getting in the way of it. Let's give him that. I mean, Republican.<br />Yeah.<br />I don't know that that changes anything anyway, because they.<br />The voters don't care about that.<br />They don't. As a matter of fact, there were some polls that said, if this passes, does it make any difference? And, and the answer was no. It, it did not make any difference. So how do they pull out of this, Farron? I mean, I, I hate to even pontificate about it because then, you know, I'm called this right winger who hates Democrats. Well, I'm not Democrat, I'm not Republican. I'm just calling balls and strikes.<br />Right. And, and right now the Democratic party is striking out on every front.<br />Yeah.<br />Right. The, the economy Biden was out there just a couple days ago, talking about how the Democrats are so much better on the economy than the Republicans. The public doesn't buy it. Right. I, I saw a poll that says, majority of Americans say their paychecks today are actually lower than they were just a couple years ago. That, that's the biggest issue for America right now. It's not.<br />It's the economy, it's the economy stupid.<br />Exactly.<br />I mean, that's the whole.<br />It always comes back to that. Are you better off than you were two years ago?<br />Yeah.<br />Most Americans say no and they're in charge. So they get punished.<br />You know, the other thing that's showing really strongly right now is people, I call it the, the scared bejesus and that is where people are afraid of what they're seeing in Ukraine as it seems to be expanding and developing, we just sent $40 billion more. They're, they're.<br />They can't find baby formula.<br />People, yeah, they're, they're just afraid of there's this, there's this tension that's out there that they blame on, on Joe Biden. And in defense of Joe Biden, it ain't just Joe Biden.<br />Yeah.<br />It's the nut cases he's surrounded himself with.<br />Well, and here's the thing and you and I have had these conversations before. People have to understand the Democrats.<br /><br />#rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAd8792W2xE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAd8792W2xE</a>
