Last night America saw a shocking display of disrespect to the President of the United States by the assembled Democrats who attended the joint session of Congress. One member of the Democratic Party from Texas had to be escorted out of the room by the House Sergeant at Arms … shameful.
During the speech, Senator Van Hollen of Maryland left the room and took to “X” to deride the speech. He was followed by the Representative from Maryland’s 8th Congressional District, Jamie Raskin who also expressed his woes on “X” – the free speech outlet that the Democrats have used to suppress conservative speech in the past. Perhaps these representatives of the people of Maryland should have stayed in their seats and listened to the information that America was hearing.
As the elected representatives of all the people of Maryland, these officials had an obligation to listen to the entire speech. But that clearly was not the case. If they had they might have realized that the policies that were being presented and the accomplishments of those policies were very popular with America – and I dare say many of their constituents.
CBS News, not exactly a Trump-friendly organization conducted a poll, the CBS/YouGov Survey immediately following the conclusion of the speech. The results of the survey were surprising given the level of Trump Derangement Syndrome there is in America according to the Democrats.
The CBS/YouGov survey reflected the viewer’s description of the president as “presidential”, “inspiring” and more “unifying” than “divisive”. A big majority also called it “entertaining But the analysis went on much to the shagreen of the Dems … Question: How did the speech make you feel: 68% Hopeful, 54% Proud, 27% Worried and 16% Angry. “In the speech Trump was: 74% Presidential, 74% Entertaining, 71% Inspiring, 62% Unifying and 46% Divisive.
When asked, “Does Trump have a clear plan for inflation the speech watchers 68% responded Yes and 32% No. Even more important, the survey asked a series of Like/Dislike questions regarding Trump’s policies: “Waste in Government Spending”: 77% Like / 23% Dislike. “Immigration and the Border” 77% like / 23% Dislike. “Ukraine and Russia” 73% Like / 27% Dislike. “Tariffs” 65% Like / 35% Dislike. Trump’s description of crime in America 68% – he is telling it like it is … and finally “Having Congressman removed from the Chamber for interrupting Trump”: 76% approved and 24% disapproved.
These responses make it clear that America is with Trump and perhaps if Van Hollen and Raskin had remained in the Chamber they might have learned something – America is with Trump! Instead of resisting it is possible that by cooperating with some of the Trump initiatives the residents of Maryland who these elected officials represent just might benefit materially from such cooperation. Our roads suck and we need to replace a bridge across the Patapsco River – resistance will for sure drop you to the bottom of any list considering Federal funding. Cooperating with the Administration might earn our state some if not all of the funding needed to fix our roads, replace our bridge, and who knows what else.
It cannot be denied, with all addressed categories of the CBS/YouGov survey registering well above 50% the smartest thing we can say is “HEY Senator where are you going? Please return to your seat and start taking notes.”
