More than 80% of Republicans and 41% of Independents Favor Trump Staying in Race Despite Indictment

[JGalt]

I keep saying this and it's true: We are the new counter-culture. The Democrat Party and their RINO supporters are the tired, old, and irrelevant establishment dinosaurs who haven't had a new idea since the days of FDR and JFK. This is not the same Democrat Party your parents and Grandparents might have voted for.

"More than 80 percent of Republican voters believe that former President Donald Trump should continue running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination despite facing federal felony charges, according to a survey released by the Marist Poll on Friday.

Trump, who has remained the front-runner for the next Republican nomination since launching his reelection campaign in the fall, is facing 37 federal counts over his handling of classified documents upon leaving the White House. The Department of Justice (DOJ) says that Trump took the sensitive material to his private residence in Florida and obstructed governmental efforts to return the documents to the National Archives and Records Administration.

But according to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll, Trump's fan base remains steadfast within the GOP even after becoming the first former U.S. president in history to face a federal indictment. Out of the 1,327 adults surveyed from June 12 to June 14, 83 percent of Republican voters said they believed Trump should continue to run, and an additional 41 percent of independent voters agreed that he should stay in the race."

Majority of Republicans favor Trump staying in race despite indictment

It's fair to wonder how these numbers would be affected if the expected two or three more indictments roll in.

That drawing in the OP is a hoot. TDS, indeed.

 

[The Duke]

You know the Democrats know they're gonna get shellacked probably worse than 1980.

 

[Batcat]

Most Republicans believe in fairness.

We see no fairness in how Trump is treated when compared ith Hillary and Joe and Hunter Biden.

It's fair to wonder why they've been going after dirt on Trump for 7 years, come up with bupkiss, yet still

keep trying to. No politician has EVER faced this level of scrutiny.

I'll vote for him just because he dealt with the bullshit for 7 years and didn't crack or break down.

That's a strong leader. That's what I want for America. He's a fighter for sure.

Check yourself. I don't think you understand the original definition of Trump Derangement Syndrome...

Origin of term​

"The origin of the term is traced to conservative political columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist, who originally coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That "syndrome" was defined by Krauthammer as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush".[9][10][11][12] The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to "Ruling Class Republicans" who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.[13] Krauthammer, in an op-ed harshly criticizing Trump, commented that—in addition to general hysteria about Trump—the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was the "inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and ... signs of psychic pathology" in his behavior.[12]

Definition​

Fareed Zakaria defined the syndrome as "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people's judgment".[6][14] CNN's editor-at-large Chris Cillizza called TDS "the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose him and his policies as nothing more than the blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and free speech".[1] Pointing to previous allegations of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome, Cillizza suggested, "Viewed more broadly, the rise of presidential derangement syndromes is a function of increased polarization—not to mention our national self-sorting—at work in the country today."[1] Bret Stephens has described the term as something used by conservative groups whenever someone speaks out critically against Trump, regardless of political affiliation.[15]"

Apparently you liberals still have a hard time coming up with something original. Flipping scripts and trying to redefine something as being something else, is not really "original. It's called "plagiarism."

 

[Mac1958]

That drawing is how they view Trump: The brave, brilliant All-American patriot selflessly sacrificing himself for them by standing strong against an evil and corrupt system that wants to harm them.

Absolutely incredible.

You really don't understand the real picture here. The very fact that these indictments keep coming, is proof to his supporters of the hysterical campaign to stop him from running. Indict him as often as you like. Hell, convict him. His polling will rise and his campaign coffers will grow. You'll then direct hate at his supporters and his numbers will grow again.

You adore your leader.

That's nice.

And his being convicted of a crime doesn't remotely make you think, "Uh, this guy is a criminal"?

After 7 years of violations of Constitution and law, failed coup attempts, criminal Impeachments, hypocritical selective attempted prosecutions, and continuously putting their 3rd world, banana Republic, Socialist Authoritarian Democrat 2-tiered injustice system on display for the entire world to see, Democrats are being seen more like Stallinist / Maoist dictators abusively using their corrupt power to eliminate a political threat and making Trump seem more and more like a martyr with every new blatantly obvious political attack.

They either think Americans are too ignorant to know what they are doing or so arrogant and secure in knowing no one can stop them that they don't care who knows.

The funny thing is they are trying so hard to eliminate Trump yet Joe may be primaried out of running for President. The Democrats may have to *take down another Kennedy to keep Biden in office.

I thought I came up with "TDS" after seeing how it impairs people like Mac1958 and several other posters' cognitive ability

if Donald Trump the Great, The Man, The Myth, The Legend, is mentioned.

The bolded is where they have seriously jumped the shark.

This is going to cost the Democrats, and cost them massively.

You just keep posting to and about me.

I'm really up in your head.

I already knew that.

 

[candycorn]

Not sure what the "win" here is...

8 out of 10 Republicans don't think he should drop out. That means 20% of his own party thinks he shouldn't even be in the race much less are going to vote for him.
6 out of 10 (nearly) independents think he should drop out which likely means they won't vote for him either.

He lost last time by 8M votes.

But hey..I guess when you're a republicant...you take "good" news where you can.
