– Voters say 51 – 27 percent they are embarrassed to have Trump as president.
59% of respondents said that Trump is not honest. 60% believed he does not have good leadership skills. 67% said that he is not level-headed, and 61% of respondents believed that he does not share their values.
Americans see right through Donald Trump, and they want him gone. The numbers suggest that there is a powerful moral argument that can be made against Trump in 2020 and Republicans in 2018. The argument for the Congressional races in swing districts is that the Republican Party does not share the values of voters. Democrats have spent too long trying to argue facts and policies in districts where elections are won on beliefs and values. The idea that red districts can flip with the right policies has been proven over and over again not to work.
In 2020, Democrats should be preparing to take a page from the Bush 2000 playbook. The Democrats need a nominee who can make the argument that honor and dignity must be restored to the White House. It is time for Americans to have a president that they can be proud of.
Trump is fighting with the NFL and reviving culture wars because that is what his tiny base wants, but his divisiveness is backfiring, as the majority want the humiliation to stop and the unfit president gone.
