(4,486 posts)for not fighting hard enough against Trump--- and they tell the truth about their feelings to the pollsters.
Most Republicans, on the other hand, say they are satisfied with Trump and the Republican party,
even if they are not.
Many years ago, when I was part of a "family unit" with a woman I didn't eventually marry,
I taught her children that "all Republicans are liars!"
I hope they remember it now, and over the years have realized that I was quite right....
especially now when the Republicans have completely abandoned
any respect for the truth...
The mom was a loyal Democrat too, that was one of her best points...
I have been answering a lot of polls for money, on various sites, since before the election...
Usually I give positive responses for the Democrats,
but lately I may have been less warm on "approval rating" polls---
Doesn't mean that I won't vote a straight Democratic ticket
in the next election, or the one after that---
and God forbid, I would shoot myself in the head before I vote for a Republican, EVER---
but I am not completely satisfied with our establishment Dem officeholders,
and the lukewarm response of some of them to Trump's atrocities,
and answers to polls are one of the few tools we have to WAKE THEM UP!
