April 21, 2018 at 3:35 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
A Politico/Morning Consult poll finds that 43% of voters believe President Trump represents the majority viewpoint of Republicans in Washington, compared with 37% who said he does not.
Thats a net swing of 20 points from a August poll when 47% said Trump did not represent the viewpoint of most Republicans, and 33% said he did.
This is important: Trump promised to drain the swamp, but now voters see him as part of the swamp.

Never trumpers cant say it but their party has left the building holding hands with Cheeto.
Hatred is now resting in the very chest of the GOP.

They see the moral bankruptcy, ethical corruption, and total lack of empathy for the poor, sick and vulnerable in this country.
They see a party that has lost its way by selling themselves to the Koch Brothers, rich donors, and taking a more hard right turn.
The American people need to communicate to their friends, neighbors, co-worker's that the Republican Party and Trump do not have their best interests at heart.

continuously vote AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS? That is something I will never, ever do and I cant understand why people do so. 🙄🤔🧐

(16,793 posts)4. Remember what Trump said?
After winning the Nevada Caucus? "I love the poorly educated."
I would not want to be a part of that group.
