@#5 ... He's sinking fast. ...
I'm not yet convinced of that.
Sinking seems to imply that he is losing his base.
I don't see that.
On the other hand, if by sinking you mean, melting down ...
That I can agree with.
Back in 2020, I said he was melting around the edges.
Now, it seems, he is melting to the core.
That aside, the part that really concerns me is the lack of any objection within his party.
So, the GOP seems to be quite OK with him.
Or are they too cowardice to gainsay what they see?
So, along those lines, I have to ask ...
Do we want to elect representatives to Congress who espouse our views, or who seem to be dedicated to the views of the MAGA cult?

Good to know.
And, fwiw, it is not up to me to post data to counter your current alias's claims. It is up to your current alias to substantiate those claims, which it has not yet done.)

'Sunday morning sucked': Advisers say 'angry' Trump 'rattled' by bad news
www.rawstory.com
... Donald Trump woke up in a foul mood Sunday morning and his campaign staff watched in horror as he took out his frustrations in an off-message speech in Pennsylvania, according to a report.
The 78-year-old former president was stewing over a poll released Saturday afternoon showing Kamala Harris with a three-point lead in Iowa, before the vice president made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live."
His pollster Tony Fabrizio and data chief Tim Saler scrambled to craft a memo questioning New York Times' polling that suggested he would lose tight races in swing states, reported The Bulwark.
"This was as much about pushing back on the media as it was placating the boss -- he was infuriated," said a campaign adviser. "But all of us trust Tony's numbers, including the boss. In Tony we trust, [but] Sunday morning sucked."
Trump went onstage in Lititz, Pennsylvania, "rattled by the news," The Bulwark's Marc Caputo wrote.
He largely ignored the teleprompter for 96 minutes in his first of three rallies two days before the election, and while the crowd laughed and cheered as he suggested he wouldn't care if "bloodsucker" journalists were shot, his campaign staffers groaned because he sounded defeated. ...

... The poll of 808 likely Iowa voters, which include those who have already voted as well as those who say they definitely plan to vote, was conducted by Selzer & Co. from Oct. 28-31. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. ...
Yeah, still looks to me like projecting from early polling
@#17 ... But it's the corporations who aren't raising wages enough? ...
Yup.
I mean, really, the GOP seems to bitch and moan about the cost of government.
Incessantly.
i.e., underfunding, then complaining about the results of that underfunding.
So, let me ask, do you want your local taxes to increase to accommodate the corporate and company quest for higher profts?
That aside, why does the GOP seem to focus upon this type of issue that they cause?
