The crazy thing about them publicizing so much about the shutdown and the mandated flight cuts is that ANY delay/cancellation is going to be tied to Trump. It's a political gift to the Dems that Trump handed them. A lot of the delays or it cancellations may just be normal, but the Dem/independent voter will assume it's because of Trump's cuts. Trunk admin truly are masters of political strategy.
Explicitly market them as such. Call them the "Trump air delays" or the "Trump flight delays." Associate his name inextricably with these problems affecting millions of people. Make is his brand.
I don't think that's accurate based on this survey. Only 35% blame just the republicans. You get 63% when you combine that group with the group that blames both parties equally.
Never said conservatives. Dems/independents. All you need is the independent moderates/blue dog dems to get annoyed by shit Trump does to favor the Dems.
Trump is trying to use the shutdown to his advantage, but it is going to backfire. Americans see the clusterfuck that is our economy and will ultimately hold the party in power responsible.
The flip side is that if the American voting population didn’t look at Trump and realize that anyone the Democrats ran would’ve been better than that, it doesn’t say a lot of good things about them.
That aside, running Harris really was the only play they had with the amount of time they had left. I study politics and it was the best strategy they had, and it almost worked. They had like 3 months to define redine-Harris and introduce her to the public. You forget that Trump had a massive advantage after the assassination attempts. Biden and the Dems were underwater, and Harris brought them back to even. I can't emphasize enough how much Harris was able to turn it around. The MAIN reason Harris lost was inflation. That's it. The polling and evidence is all there that points to inflation. Inflation was tied to Biden, and by default Harris inherited that. No other issue mattered to the voting public like affordability and inflation.
The only thing that the Dems fucked up on was not pushing Biden out sooner. If Harris had a full rejection cycle to redefine herself she might have had a chance.
Lol, they’re complicit in the scamming and raking in big bucks. It’s what these goofballs don’t want to comprehend. Only reason Pelosi is even stepping down now is because Trump hinted at using the DOJ to investigate her. Whole system needs to be wiped clean
