CMRivdogs Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 From a pre election 2020 poll in Military Times Quote But the Military Times Polls, surveying active-duty troops in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University, have seen a steady drop in troops’ opinion of the commander in chief since his election four years ago. In the latest results — based on 1,018 active-duty troops surveyed in late July and early August — nearly half of respondents (49.9 percent) had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. Questions in the poll had a margin of error of up to 2 percent. Among all survey participants, 42 percent said they “strongly” disapprove of Trump’s time in office. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/08/31/as-trumps-popularity-slips-in-latest-military-times-poll-more-troops-say-theyll-vote-for-biden/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denying the truth doesn't make it go away. What is your diagnosis of Trump who says dumb things on a much more consistent basis than Biden?

CMRivdogs Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I respect their service to the country but when the current faces of the Republican Party are Trump, Boebert and Greene (along with a few others of their ilk) and the party has offered no constructive policies other than tax cuts for the very rich. I really don't give a damn about their feelings. Edited March 2, 2022 by CMRivdogs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a person is naturally conservative and came to vote for Trump in 2016 because of that, not really knowing much else about the guy outside his TV show, I can understand that. If they observed everything Trump did during his four years and they still vote for him because they really like the cut of his jib, that's something else again.

I don't want to be too optimistic. Too many will die. ("the good seems fucking cheap") But, plenty of evidence that Russia is going to have trouble over the long haul. Another thing to be wary of. Russia has plenty of vectors to bring in sanctions busting resources. Blocking those will be work for the Free World.

That seems impossible, but things like that always do until they happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
