MSNBC hosts linked President Trump's approval rating with people who vote based on "whats going to give me more money in my pockets" on Thursday.
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle also said "a lot of people vote pretty selfishly" when it comes to supporting Trump.
While we could find or do find the presidents constant lying or lawlessness or reprehensible behavior morally unacceptable, a lot of people vote pretty selfishly, and they say, Whats going to give me more money in my pockets? Ruhle said in opening a segment with billionaire Tom Steyer.
Or whats going to make abortion illegal, or whats going to make sure that my Second Amendment rights stay the same, and clearly, that adds up to enough people that the president still has something akin to 40 percent of the electorate in polls," added co-anchor Ali Velshi.
Trump is currently sitting at 43.3 percent in the Real Clear Politics average of major polls, a 6.2 rise since December of 2017 before the GOP tax bill was passed. In a breakdown of respondents, his approval among Republicans is consistently high and consistently low among Democrats.
Steyer, though, pointed to enthusiasm he's seeing in voters opposing Trump that's helping to increase Democratic turnout in elections. He dismissed Trump's approval rating as "constant but at a low level."
"What we are seeing is great passion," he said, pointing to Florida's recent election. "And Florida is a perfect example, Stephanie. A seventy percent increase in Democratic turnout last Tuesday. What that says is, people are deeply upset with this administration, deeply upset with their policies, and deeply upset with their lawlessness.
Steyer, 61, is a former hedge from manager from San Francisco that has since become one of the most active Democratic donors in the country.
“every perversion you can think of”
Democrats refer to these as “Values”.(See Cuomo’s ads)
What about people voting for handouts?
That must be media speak for the base is very loyal to Trump.
Hey Stephanie Ruhle, and you are just plain stupid!
Trump voters are sick and eff’n tired of paying for other people to be lazy.
Whereas all the moochers that vote for the Rats are altruistic saints.
What is even more telling are things which are not values of the Left, such as truth, tolerance and, of significant importance, reality.
Of course, they’ll publish an article next week that says Trump voters don’t vote for their economic interests and the left has to educate us in what’s good for us.
First we’re bitter clingers, then we’re a basket of deplorables, “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic”, crazies, and selfish.
I guess we hit a nerve with them, eh?
NBC is Comcast.
Comcast despises you.
Those idiot journalists think they are turning people away from president Trump by saying that, but they are actually doing is making people think about what is in their best interests.
I don’t see the rich and famous and politicians going out and handing their money to the poor, downtrodden, homeless, or even offering them a place to stay in their mansions.
“”Whats going to give me more money in my pockets? Ruhle said in opening a segment with billionaire Tom Steyer.””
She’s talking to a BILLIONAIRE and makes a judgment like that about OTHER PEOPLE? How did Steyer come by his money? Just fell into his lap, right? How come the networks hire only the stupid? Well, that’s a pretty stupid question in itself.
Hannity said last night that Steyer and Soros are pouring MILLIONS into FL for the “other guy” running for governor. I think I read something today about all the BIG WEALTHY DONORS connected to De Santis’s campaign.....People aren’t only stupid but insane...
Reality
Republican votes for Governor = 1,618,473.
Democrats vote for Governor. = 1,509,960.
What that says is, people are deeply upset with this administration, deeply upset with their policies, and deeply upset with their lawlessness.
Umm....NO.
Pretty much it in a nutshell.
As do Dem voters the biggest difference we vote to keep our own money your voters vote to get other peoples money.
Yes, the stingiest rich people are the liberals. Just observe donations by Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, and all other democrat leaders.
Ruhle is a complete idiot. Of course she is ok with Democrats promising “free” everything if people will vote for them. Of course, the people who would like more money in their pocket from working will be the ones footing the bill through higher taxes. I take it back, Ruhle is worse than an idiot.
