Trump voters dont want Trump to get rid of Elizabeth Warrens consumer agency

Trump voters don’t want Trump to get rid of Elizabeth Warren’s consumer agency

A Morning Consult poll released Wednesday finds that most Trump voters don’t want to see Warren’s brainchild agency rolled back.

According to the poll, 15 percent want the Trump administration to expand the CFPB’s power, 41 percent want it left alone, 21 percent want Trump to limit its power, and 7 percent want the president-elect to get rid of the agency entirely. Another 17 percent are not sure.

“Big bank lobbyists and their friends in Washington may have forgotten about the devastating 2008 financial crisis, but it’s clear the American people haven’t,” the senator said in a statement Wednesday.

“Working families want a strong consumer agency and tough rules on Wall Street – no matter who they supported for president,” she added.

like the fact that we are reduced to polling only Orange voters to see what they want.

Almost Half of U.S. Voters Not Sure Russia’s Behind Election-Related Hacks
Brendan Bordelon
Morning Consult

Almost half of Americans do not agree with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment that the Russian government was behind cyberattacks on the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016, according to a new Morning Consult/POLITICO survey.

When asked to pick the statement that most aligned with their views, 46 percent of respondents chose one that said the U.S. can’t be sure who is primarily responsible for the hacking because tracing cyberattacks is complicated and because intelligence groups were wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In contrast, 29 percent chose the statement that said there was “near certainty” that Russia is responsible for hacking and that intelligence agencies had used advanced techniques to determine that the former Cold War adversary is responsible. A quarter said they didn’t know or had no opinion.


Spoiler alert, opinion is not uniform across identified Dem/GOP party members.

the intelligence community's assessment?LOL. They have a better way to make an assessment. No, they are talking out of their asses and telling us only what they WANT to believe.

they "don't want" certain shit to happen, but they vote for someone who fucking vowed to do what they didn't want to happen.

He fucking promised to do all the shit they "don't want" to happen.
