2. I agree that Trump is being crushed in the polls

but I think that Levin is being too optimistic about the midterms. Trump knows the poll numbers and will stop at nothing to overcome them. J6 proved that to us.

If Trump pulls off a successful regime change in Iran or Cuba without getting us bogged down in war or losing American lives in the process, he will look like a hero at home and abroad.

The midterms are one reason why he has set a June deadline for peace between Russia and Ukraine. Peace at all costs to Ukrainian sovereignty. But I think it will backfire if he sells out Ukraine.

Notice how he is sucking up to African Americans after his disgraceful Obama post? He got so much push back about it that he countered that with praise of Jesse Jackson. And now he is hosting an event to celebrate Black History Month. Sure, many Blacks will see through that, but if he pulls in some of them; it will help his numbers.

Removing immigrants from blue states reduces the states' populations which helps in reducing House members in those states since ALL people in a state are counted for the number of House reps that a state has. Removing residents from blue states is not only cruel in the way it is done, but is also a vote rigging tactic.

He is also threatening to post ICE agents at the polls in order to intimidate naturalized citizens.

I love the No Kings rallies and have participated in them. They are good for morale and for raising awareness of issues; but Trump will stop at nothing to halt the blue wave.
