Attacks on Trump Are Backfiring — and Democrats Know It
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | September 5, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: Salena Zito is back after having made another trip into Pennsylvania, where she has once again scouted Trump voters, and she reports that people are rooting for Trump more than ever. You know there’s surveys out there, polling data out there that Trump has an approval number higher than Congress and the media combined. Forget what Trump’s approval number is in the Drive-Bys. By comparison to Obama, of course, it’s dismal, and the Drive-Bys use it to say that the country is embarrassed of Trump, and it’s horrible and rotten.

But when you look at the comparative data, you find that Trump’s approval number is more than twice what the media and Congress approval number combined are. In other words, Trump is more liked. Trump is more approved, has higher approval than Congress or the media even when you combine them.

Selena Zito reported in Pennsylvania: “In This Part of the US, People Are Rooting for Trump More Than Ever.” Here’s some numbers for you. This is why the Republican Party is making one of the biggest mistakes it’s made in my lifetime. “The Republican Party has gained 100,000 new registered voters in Pennsylvania, knocking the Democrats’ lead of 913,017 down to 808,974. That number includes 31,000 new registered Republicans in Philadelphia. Yes, Philadelphia.

“In the past few months, a CNN producer and a Scandal star have called people who voted for Trump ‘stupid.’ Their contempt has registered with voters in this part of the country, and it has only served to escalate their commitment to the president.” Well, it was, what was this guy’s name, Molina, the guy on Scandal who plays the attorney general. I forget his name. But he’s out there and, of course, the CNN producer, well, hell everybody at CNN. Hillary calls ’em deplorables. These other people are calling them idiots. How could you be so stupid to vote for Trump?

And the Trump voters hear this stuff and it doesn’t shame them, it doesn’t embarrass them, because they don’t care about appealing to the media. It just cements them even deeper with Trump. Here’s another pull quote. “Despite his flaws, Trump voters are waving the flag for their underdog candidate in a show of defiance. Many don’t think he is on the ropes, and they believe he will eventually get results.”

There’s a man profiled in the story named Moyer, and it then says: “Customers are still coming into Moyer’s shop, requesting pro-Trump signs for the first time, wanting to show their support.” In other words, all of this savage attack on Trump, in Trump country, in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, some of these other formerly blue states, it is backfiring on the Democrats; they don’t even know it yet, although I think they do, because of this. “Nancy Pelosi: The Voters ‘Don’t Want to Hear Us Criticizing the President.” That is a quote.

“The voters don’t want to hear us criticizing the president. This was a choice; they made a decision. And to criticize the president personally is to disrespect their judgment. So I say to my members, ‘This is about what we’re going to do.'”

She was talking to the editorial board and reporters at the Denver Post about the Democrat agenda. They know, folks. They know that all this Antifa stuff, they know that all of this mobilized hatred and all of the words of filth and hatred aimed at Trump, they know it’s backfiring on them. They don’t have an agenda. They don’t have an agenda they can be honest about. They may not even have an agenda other than get back power.

That’s OK, let them drown themselves out in their coastal echo chambers.

For Nancy Pelosi to say what she said, you know the internal polls must be devastating. These baseless 24/7 attacks on our president are backfiring big-time.

They have demonized Trump to the point he looks far more sane than his critics. Thanks critics. You screwed yourselves into the dirt.

I made sure to wear my MAGA hat to my local Labor day parade. My congress critter,(Matt Cartwright) saw me wearing it. I hope it helps to send a message to the Rats, and Rino’s that we’re still with Trump.

The NYT had a piece about 2-3 months ago about the Democrat Party's strategy for the 2018 midterm elections. They hired a prominent political consultant to give them some guidance, and the consultant came up with what sounded like a solid game plan: Focus on the GOP House members in districts where Clinton beat Trump in 2016.

They went out and did extensive polling among voters in these districts, and they were stunned at one of the biggest things they learned: Republican support for Donald Trump in these districts was stronger in mid-2017 than it was on Election Day in 2016.

Kitty Dukakis would not have attempted to take her own life if Michael had won. Guess that means we should have elected them for therapy sake.

They had to figure it out eventually but what fresh hell will they pick to screech about next?

She is a great reporter. Mollie Hemingway also is doing great work. Shining lights for anyone interested in practicing real journalism.

Republicans control legislature/executive in 26 states.

Democrats have control of the legislative and executive in a puny six states.

Population of Dem-controlled states: 50,190,213
Population of GOP-controlled states: 164,139,104

Republican control states holding vast amts of oil, natural gas, minerals,
food supplies, the nation's water sources, thriving commerce....and so on.

Democrats control blue states, places where Obamacare is flopping bigtime.

No! Please, more Maxine Waters!

The liberal goons at Yahoo haven’t given up. Every single thread - they go with some ridiculous nonsense. Well, that’s redundant, but still.....

My sources at Huff Po and The Daily Beast have confirmed that is indeed President Trump on the right.

Well, hey, that’s as accurate as some things Dan Rather and Brian Williams have claimed in recent history (last couple of decades or so).
