The media is relentless in publicizing the negative approval ratings that Donald Trump has been receiving, which are largely due to his personality, not policies. But what about the media’s own approval? Based on a poll conducted with around 2,000 adults by Morning Consult, a larger percentage of Americans trust Donald Trump’s White House as a news source than the mainstream media.
That aside, it’s not just the media that the public has a negative view of. Given that the Democratic Party lost 1,042 seats at the state and federal levels of government during Obama’s tenure, and lost every single special election in the Trump Era, clearly they have an image problem too. In just a few years they want from presenting themselves as the party of the working class to catering to the delusions of college social justice warriors. Democrats alienated their base, and are paying the price for it.
In the Trump Era, the strategy thus far has been to rally troops around the mantra of being the “resistance,” to Trump. Unfortunately for them, “resisting” the man who won the election hasn’t been an effective strategy. That tactic has been leading people to view Democrats as simply the “anti-Trump” party, not a party with any ideas of their own.

Unfortunately for them, “resisting” the man who won the election hasn’t been an effective strategy. That tactic has been leading people to view Democrats as simply the “anti-Trump” party, not a party with any ideas of their own.
According to a new poll by The Washington Post and ABC, over half of Americans believe the current Democratic Party doesn’t stand for anything besides resisting President Trump.
The poll asked 1,001 Americans, “Do you think the Democratic Party currently stands for something, or just stands against Trump?”
Only 37 percent of respondents believed that the Democratic Party “stands for something,” while 52 percent of respondents said the party “just stands against Trump.”
The apparent messaging problem was even starker among registered voters, of which only 35 percent felt the Democrats stand for something while 54 percent felt they only stand against Trump.
Serves them right. Democrats know they can’t oppose Trump on specific policy issues like immigration and healthcare, because most Americans do believe in strong borders, and have been harmed by ObamaCare. That’s why it’s Democrats in Congress acting like chicken little, screaming “racist” at anyone who wants to enforce our immigration laws, and making the erroneous claim that “people will die” without ObamaCare.It isn’t working – and for our sake, I hope the Democrats keep the scaremongering up. The more they do, the better chance President Trump has of winning in 2020.
