Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bo again.
So today we are going to talk about how Republicans feel.
I mean, we're going to talk about how everybody feels about something, but we're going to
talk about Republicans in particular, because those numbers were the most surprising and
the most informative.
And they might shape some opinions up on Capitol Hill after the House gets back from its little
vacation. Okay, so Pew Research, they did some polling about Ukraine and it's
important to remember that lately the trend has been that polling skews
conservative. So what did they ask? They asked whether or not Ukraine was
important to US national interests. 74% of those surveyed said yes and 59% said
that it was important to them personally. Those are big numbers but I mean you
could you could just say that hey I mean it's all those Democrats throwing that
off. When it comes to just Republicans, 69% said it was important to US national
interests and 56% said it was important to them personally. Republicans in the
House have done a lot of performative nonsense and engaged in a lot of, let's
Let's just say obstructionist behavior when it comes to aid for Ukraine.
Rank and file Republicans, oh, they feel differently.
Republicans in the House are setting Republicans up for another loss.
Why?
Because they are following the lead of somebody who does not have the country's best interest
at heart. 74% of Americans know that Ukraine is important to U.S. national interests, that
that conflict is important to U.S. national interests. Three out of four. The Republican
party, I mean it's still 69%. So what does this mean? It means that Republicans
who are engaged in obstructionist activities in the House trying to stop
the aid, they might reconsider that after this information circulates. This little
break that they went on, they might come back with a different view of things.
They might be a little bit more accommodating because it's their own base that's telling
them that it's important.
And some of them saying it's important to them personally.
And by some, I mean a majority, a clear majority.
This is one of those things that might allow the Democratic Party to go around Speaker
Johnson if necessary, because there are going to be Republicans in vulnerable districts
that see these numbers and maybe alter their view a little bit.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
