"A New York Times/Siena College poll showing second-placed DeSantis trailing Trump by a stunning 37 points Monday only underscored what has been obvious for weeks: his approach isn’t working," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis

Please explain to me, ego and party aside, what did Trump do that was so terrible for the US. 7 million new jobs, middle class income jumped up to almost $6k, unemployment reached 3.5(lowest in half century), 40 months in a row more job openings, more Americans employed, income rose in every metro area for the first time in 30 years, 7 mill people off food stamps, the list goes on. Why do you alp hate him so much? Seems to me he did pretty well. Now, look at today’s world and combine. I just don’t get it. God bless us all and have a beautiful day!


What it shows is that membership in the Republican party is dwindling, with almost all of those who are left, being those who shoved out all the others because they weren't RADICAL enough, or loyal enough to Donald Trump, to remain. Hence, the candidate who tries the most to emulate Donald, has the second greatest percentage of the Republican votes, and the rest of the Republican hopefuls, have virtually no support at all. Not your Grandfather's Republican Party...... Yeah, Donald Trump, with is radical far-Right fascist insanity, has created more Independent voters than ever before in American history, most of the most recent converts being former members of Ronald Reagan's and George Bushs' 'center-right' Republican Party.


Greg Quady the nation doesn't need a Trump clone, which he is. DeSantis has said, in public, that he will serve 8 years, and his goal is to "destroy leftism in America."

Since when does a candidate for POTUS, not including The Orange Gorilla, gleefully talk about destroying half of America, because about half are on the left to some degree or the other of the political spectrum. I thought a President's job was to unite people if he could, and work for ALL Americans, not simply those that look, talk, vote, pray, and love like he and others like him demand?

Has the GOP REALLY fallen that far? They already tried to overturn the last Presidential election. If they would, God help us, take the House, Senate, and Presidency, no matter who POTUS would be, they'd try to carry out what DeSantis wants to do-which is destroy half the nation.


Richie Crockett bs. Just go back to your moms basement with that bs,and I’ll let her know you are out of fruity pebbles because you are clearly to ‍. He did nothing but allowed his family and friends to commit crimes ,and allowed all those people to loose their lives from Covid because he was so busy blaming China, he was clearly the worse president in history and the biggest loser even to this day. The man is to dumb to even understand how the government works. He know nothing about foreign police’s. 4 wasted years of nothing but firing and name calling. He left no good legacy.


Diane Dahlhouser Wisman Reality Check: inflation has slowed, the US has stayed out of war. You’d be happier with NATO disbanded an no checks at all on Putin’s stated agenda of reunifying the USSR? The DOJ under this administration is more fairly investigating and prosecuting crimes, not like under trump’s & Barr’s direction , when it was used for political and personal gain (again in reality). The crooked president is currently under over 37 indictments and begging you to pay his defense, even though he’s a”billionaire”. Birder crossings are actually down and new Immigration law is up to Congress, not the President. House Leader McCarthy has said to his caucus that they will not consider immigration reform because it’s a good election issue for them (again in reality). I don’t know what you’ve been told about nudity in the WH, but im not at all bothered by that. Coccaine was discovered in a room highly travelled by tourists, not the First Family or administration officials. Please make contact with the real world and try being informed with facts.


Stev Taylor I know what it says and the questions this left wing rag brought up, should be applied to the Biden’s. Now, read the rest. It explains where their income came from and how it dropped. Where did Hunters and the rest of the Biden families income come from? Have a good night; politically, biased, hypocrite! By the way, IVANA was never in the WH! Why, if Hunter was never a part of his fathers administration, is he on AF1 and meeting with heads of state! What’s with the burner phones? Why would the President of the US need a burner phone!


This is so sad. After all, DeSantis has a proven record of doing everything the Republicans love to do as he's attacked black people and gay people and trans people and immigrants and the "Woke", and as he's rewritten history books to teach children all the good things that slavery did like providing slaves a skill, and his war with Disney and his book bans and boycotts, and keeping Florida open during covid, I mean sure, a lot more people died, tens of thousands more, but think about the economy, so DeSantis is the perfect person to represent everything the Republican Party and Conservatives love and stand for. The only thing that Trump excels at over DeSantis when it comes to representing Republicans and Conservatives are his morals and family values.


James Hensley speaking of damning evidence, trump said he’d surround himself with the best people! Well, check the figures & you’ll find numerous ‘best people’ he had that were arrested, found guilty of numerous felonies, sent to prison before trump pardoned them while in office. Now he’s facing several indictments & about 40 charges coming out of NY, Ga, DC, state & federal. Then there are about 1000 per Jan 6 that were arrested & many found guilty of various charges, many of those sent to prison! If that is the far right direction you prefer, then you’re as gullible & ignorant as the rest of those ‘best people’!


Jesse Dell-Ross there is a stark difference between the two even if they are close in age. 46 cannot speak coherent sentences, he can't even read of a teleprompter properly. I bet you didn't know cancer is cured, huh? He needs people to show him what way to go, shakes hands with the air, wanders around like a lost old man. It is sad. He doesn't have impromptu press conferences, he isn't allowed to even speak to the press! Pray tell, why is he a better option than either Republican, besides the fact that you hate Republicans? What exactly has 46 done that has helped the country, especially the middle class?


10ºChristine Gangi Your information is seriously flawed and loaded with liberal propaganda. Jesus. You believe talking points over what’s right in front of you because it feels better. If it was his strategy to shut down the American economy, why didn’t he take the liberals’ advice and shut it down? The liberals wanted it shut down for political opportunity. Plain and simple. And where are you getting your I formation that the steel tariffs hurt our economy? I work in the steel industry. and manufacturing was booming then. Right now it’s dead! And which party escalated Covid? Why did they escalate Covid? Political opportunity. You’re going to educate me lol……..
