Daily Broadside | In Spite of The Left’s TDS, Trump Dominates Republican Polls

President-in-exile Donald J. Trump has been the most persecuted of all public figures in recent memory. The first president in US history to be criminally charged faces a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases, including 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, all of them felonies.

But the attempt to drag him through the mud and to jail him before next year’s election is backfiring spectacularly.

Former President Donald Trump is dominating the Republican primary polls with 69 percent support, up seven points from November, a Fox News survey released Sunday revealed.

The Republican is the clear favorite among GOP voters, with his support having grown by a whopping 26 points since February.

Fewer than one third of Republican primary voters are backing all of Trump’s rivals combined, with 12 percent going to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, nine percent for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, five percent for businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, two percent for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and just one percent for former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.

Every Trump opponent besides Hutchison has lost support within the last month, the poll found.

With a margin of error of ±3 percentage points, that puts Trump solidly at 70 percent support.

The Breitbart article does not hazard a guess as to why Trump’s numbers are skyrocketing, but as a former (and, if he’s the candidate, future) Trump voter, I don’t mind speculating.

First, we all know that the economy was better under Trump. Wages were up, inflation was nothing, prices were “normal” and everyone was feeling the benefit, especially the “black and brown” communities in lower income regions. Under Biden, gas prices have soared, inflation is a problem, and the cost of putting food on the table has hurt everyone, especially those with low income.

Second, Biden and his Marxist gang of creeps have not only done nothing to secure the border, but the so called Border Protection actively helps foreigners illegally enter our country. According to this New York Post article, close to 4 million “””migrants””” have entered the U.S. since Resident Brandon took office in 2021, not to mention the 1.5 million “gotaways” estimated to have entered the U.S. and disappeared without being processed.

However, according to this report, total border crossers since the Fool took office is 8 MILLION.

The number of illegal border crossings at the northern and southern borders and all ports of entry since January 2021 totals more than 8 million people, greater than the individual populations of 38 U.S. states.

Brandon and Mayorkas are traitors. THIS IS A FOREIGN INVASION OF OUR SOVEREIGN SOIL and is an impeachable offense.

Trump built a wall and maintained the “remain in Mexico” policy. Illegal immigration dropped under his watch and he’s promising to make it so again.

Third, Trump appointed three (allegedly) conservative Supreme Court Justices. Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett helped overturn Roe v. Wade 50 years after the abortion case was poorly reasoned and enshrined abortion as a “right.” One might expect DJT to nominate at least one or two more justices should he regain the presidency, locking in a conservative majority for the next generation.

As reasonable as those three reasons are for Trump’s enduring popularity, there’s an unspoken reason that I think trumps them all (pun definitely intended).

Most conservative Americans are tired of the steaming pile of progressive BS that the cultural Marxists have been ramming down our throats for the last decade. I would even venture a guess that some on the center-left are tired of it too. If you look at the polls, less than half of American citizens have a “great deal or fair amount of trust” in any federal government institution and are deeply divided by political party (which probably reflects the current political balance of power in Washington D.C.).

Here’s why 70 percent of Republican voters support Trump: he’s a symbolic middle finger to the elites who look down on Normal Americans. He represents the little guy who just wants to do his job and not be threatened by cultural Maoist terrorists because he won’t defile the English language to use some blue-haired malcontent’s preferred pronouns.

Even I feel that way sometimes. As I’ve written before, I’m not as sold on Trump as I once was. I think he’s his own worst enemy. “If only he had some verbal discipline,” I think. But you have to hand it to the guy: he’s like the immoveable object against which all the irresistable forces splatter.

There’s part of me that wants him to win just to stick it to Jack Smith and the other anti-Americans in Washington who have weaponized our institutions to take him down. It’s that simple.

But there’s an even deeper undercurrent that drives conservatives to Trump. Conservatives and like-minded Americans are deeply concerned about the trajectory we’re on and the wrecking ball that progressives have taken to the country. Trump seems to be the only one who is willing to get in there and fight for our country’s survival.

If the Democrats win in 2024, all bets are off. While 70 percent is a good start, I won’t rest easy until the Democratic nominee concedes the election to Trump and Congress certifies his win.
