The political world is agog at the news that Benedict Donald has been screaming at his campaign pooh-bah, Weird-Beard Brad Parscale, because his re-election numbers have gone south. Fun!
It's even better that the polls Trump saw were from the Republican National Committee and his own campaign — not a lefty or egghead survey firm from inside the Beltway or academia. His own polls, LOL! Check out this juicy tidbit:
"At one point, [Trump] said he would not lose to Joe Biden, insisted the data was wrong and blamed the campaign manager for the fact that he is down in the polls... even [making] a threat to sue Parscale."
(We cats couldn't help thinking about the staffers who brought the news to Jimmy Carter that the bottom had fallen out in that last weekend before Election Day 1980. We don't remember Carter threatening to sue anybody. But then, Donald Trump is psychologically damaged, and President Carter is not.)
As long as we're on the subject of polls, let's discuss the latest one from NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist, in which "most Americans, except Republicans, disapprove of the job [Trump] is doing...more than half the country prefers that presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden handle the pandemic — and even the economy."
You read that right: "except Republicans." Nine out of 10 of them still said nice things to the pollsters about Benedict Donald. But we cats say tish-tosh to that, and here's why: The only people left in the GOP are the nutjobs. The party is shrinking to its Trumpian base. Scratch an Independent, you'll get a former Republican — so we find Independents' revulsion with Trump to be very, very interesting.
Will those folks be tempted to vote for Justin Amash in November? Maybe in a less-pandemicky year they might. But we already have 60,000 dead Americans, with who knows how many more by the fall. "A real success story," Jared Kushner called it. We call it something else. Voters will surely know that another four years of this guy will kill us all. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
