Is this REALLY the new leader of the resistance? SCOTT JENNINGS reveals the laughable reason why Democrats are more hated than they've been in nearly four decades!
Sitting in the CNN green room on Sunday morning, awaiting my appearance on the State of the Union hosted by Jake Tapper, I had to laugh.
There on the screen, airing in the segment just before my panel, was Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas, the ubiquitous face of the Democratic Party.
Crockett was in the throes of yet another one of her now-countless, unhinged anti-Trump tirades. But it was coming just minutes after CNN had released a poll showing that the national Democratic Party now has a 29 percent favorability rating, the lowest ever recorded in a CNN poll dating back to 1992!
The leader of the Democratic Party taking a victory lap on a triumphant morning, I chuckled to myself.
And it got worse for Crockett’s crew only an hour later when NBC News released its data. That network, too, had found that Democrats have reached an all-time low in popularity at just 27 percent. That record dates back to 1990!
And, as political analyst Tom Bevan noted, more than five times as many respondents in the NBC poll had a ‘very negative’ view of the Democratic party than a ‘very positive’ perception. Woof.
Indeed, two networks and two respected pollsters are spotting the same phenomenon – the Democrats are sinking like a rock.
And what of President Donald J. Trump?

It was on February 21 – nearly a month ago! – that famed Democratic strategist James Carville predicted the 47th president would ‘collapse’ and Democrats didn’t have to lift a finger.
‘I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days is in the midst of a massive collapse, in particularly a collapse in public opinion,’ Carville said on The Dan Abrams Show podcast.
Well, NBC News now pegs Trump’s approval rating at 47 percent, the highest number he’s ever scored in their survey. And the Real Clear Politics polling average, as of Monday morning, has Trump at 48.1 percent job approval.
While there are signs in the NBC and CNN polls that Trump is suffering a bit as Americans continue to face economic headwinds and absorb the shock of stock market undulations, it appears that Mr. Carville was only half right.
There was a collapse, it just wasn’t Republicans who crumbled.
The Democratic Party is in free fall.
In October, according to CNN, the Democratic Party had a 39 percent favorability rating, 10 points higher than today. As Joe Biden was taking office in January 2021, the Democrats stood at 49 percent.
So, what has happened?
It’s pretty simple – the Democrats have decided to take the side opposing common sense on nearly every issue facing America.
Deport illegal immigrants? Trump says ‘yes.’ Democrats say ‘no.’
Wasteful spending? Trump says ‘cut it.’ Democrats say ‘boost it.’
Paper straws? Trump says get rid of them! Democrats say, ‘soggy slurps for all!’
This weekend came another strategic blunder for Democrats after Trump used his authority under The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expel illegal immigrant Venezuelan gang members from the country.
The administration put two plane loads of these alleged Tren de Aragua terrorists (a gang which engages in armed robberies, sex trafficking, assault on police, rape, and murder, among other things) on a flight to El Salvador, which agreed to hold them “at a fair price,” according to US Secretary of State March Rubio.
But, if you can believe it, an Obama-appointed judge, James E. Boasberg, wanted the planes turned around and the terrorists returned to American soil!

Thankfully, the plane was already over international waters. So, the aircraft landed on time in El Salvador, and those criminals are no longer free to roam America and terrorize its citizens.
Predictably, the left-wing news media and leading Democrats are in full meltdown over the affair – including the de facto Democratic party boss Crockett herself, who assailed the deportations in her appearance with CNN’s Tapper.
Once again, Trump takes what most Americans would regard as a commonsense position (deport violent, criminal, illegal immigrant terrorists) and his opposition takes the other side, no matter the political costs of doing so.
Of all the issues facing Americans today, Trump’s handling of the border and illegal immigration is by far his highest rated. Americans want the violent criminals out, and Trump is delivering!
The true challenge for Democrats today is that it’s a party apparently run by fools.
Look no further than the recent plight of Democratic Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
As of Monday, this one-time giant of American politics appears to be in hiding after permitting nine other Senate Democrats to vote in favor of Trump’s government funding bill.
Left-flank progressives wanted the Senator to block the bill, triggering a shutdown of the federal government. But Schumer resisted their use of the filibuster (once assailed by Democrats as a racist tool of the Jim Crow era). Now he’s paying the price.
After mocking Republicans just two weeks ago for dodging angry constituents at town hall events, Schumer has canceled three book tour events this week in the liberal bastions of Baltimore, New York City and Washington, DC. A spokesperson cited ‘security concerns.’ But I thought all liberal protestors were simply exercising their Fist Amendment rights to peacefully protest…is that not the case?
