New pew research poll has bad news for trump

Rachel featured it in her opening tonight. As far as Russia goes, only forty one percent of respondents have confidence in trump's handling of the war with Ukraine, while fifty nine percent are not confident. Is Trump honest? 37 percent yes, sixty three percent no. Is Trump a good role model? 25 percent yes, 70 percent no. And so on. He's underwater on everything. His overall approval is 38 percent with 60 percent disapproving.

She also covered lots of protests about the "summit" in Alaska and trump's kowtowing to putin that seem to have been largely ignored by most of the media.

Worth tuning in.

Never has been. He epitomizes conservative values. 38%? That’s a sign of insanity.

she can have the greatest, most accurate, most succinct, best researched show on TV, but she's preaching to the choir. The people who NEED to hear her message aren't watching Rachel. They aren't getting her message; they aren't hearing truth. They're over on FAUX news. Yes, we're watching, but we're already of like mind.

How do we get Rachel's message to those who need to hear it?

I recall a bumper sticker I saw years ago:

God said it.
I believe it.
That settles it.

Plug in "Trump" for "God" and it tells you all you need to know.
