Trump PANICS as GOP LOSING CONTROL of US SENATE?!!!

Donald Trump is crashing in the polls as. even his former top supporters are. screaming betrayal. Earlier today, Donald Trump announced that he was going. to bring in massive amounts of foreign. beef to crush and harm the US beef. industry because Donald Trump has. screwed up all levels of the economy and. it's one massive Ponzi scheme. Now, Merryweather Farms, who have previously. posted very positive things about Donald.

Trump, they're an American beef company. They're all about American first beef. That's actually their slogan. They. posted betrayal, as Donald Trump earlier. today says. I've concluded a deal to. substantially lower the price of ground. beef. The United States will allow up to. 300,000 metric tons of product for. ground beef to be imported. with no out of quota tariff. Donald. Trump one by one getting rid of his.

closest core supporters. You take a look. at some of the recent polling data. It. just gets worse for Donald Trump. The. current polling US Senate model, and. I've seen this across the board in the. top models now have Democrats picking up. a total of 52 seats with Republicans. being at 48 seats. It seems like a. massive opportunity here for Democrats. to take control of both the House and.

the Senate. And MAGA Republicans are. particularly freaking out about the. recent results in the Pennsylvania House. State Representative District Special. Election for House Special Election. District number 12 where the Democrat. there overperformed by plus 19. It was a. plus 18 Trump district that swung 19. points in the Democratic direction. Right over there you have Kevin. McCarthy, former speaker of the house, a.

failed speaker of the house for the MAGA. Republicans who was forced out by his. own party. He says, "We don't have a. message. We're going to get crushed in. these midterms." What the heck is going. on? Watch what Kevin McCarthy says on. State Regime Media Fox. Let's play it. How do you size up the midterms right. now? >> The midterms right now, I'm worried. because the generic ballots over six. So. that's advantage to the Democrats. I'm. worried that I'm not seeing the clear. message from Republicans. What is the.

plan of why you should stay in the. majority? What is your economic plan. going forward? What are you touting as. the successes that you've had already? I'm worried about certain states. I'm. I'm going to watch Iowa. >> I think that governor's race is very. cool. Ashley Henson is the best Senate. candidate probably in the country. I. think she ends up winning, but we've got. four congressional seats there. When I. first came in, we only had one. Republican one. They're going to be some. tough. Pennsylvania is going to be a. swing state. Democrats have a very good. governor. They'll probably try to run. the tickets up because he wants to run. for president. I'm worried about Arizona.

because I don't think this Republican. nominee we have bigs can could actually. move out, could cut across, get get. moderates and others. And we picked up. seats from Democrats to win the. majority. If he underperforms, he could. cost us Congress's majority. So then on. state regime media Fox Business, they. were interviewing Indiana Senator Jim. Banks, no mention about the horrific. weather conditions over there and that. tens of thousands people in his own. state remain without power. No, Donald.

Trump ignores that, whereas any past. president would actually focus on that. But what Jim Banks wanted to focus on is. nothing to do with the questions being. asked, which is how do you think the. conflict in Iran is going to affect the. midterms because prices across the board. are going up up up and the American. people are struggling. Listen to what he. says. Let's play it. grandkids. >> We do, of course, have a midterm. election coming up and the question is. whether all this can happen before the.

midterms, whether voters will see some. signs that we've turned a corner in. ending ending this conflict. Uh even the. Iranians, by the way, are now referring. to the midterm elections. They know that. that the president and Republicans are. particularly sensitive about how all. this could affect the midterms. How do. you think it's going to affect the. midterms, assuming we don't have a clear. resolution at the time that they happen? Well, I I I give President Trump so much. credit because he doesn't look at this. as an election issue. He looks at this.

as a long-term ensurement that that uh. that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. ever pointed at us or at Israel, our. allies or our troops abroad. And some. things are more important than. elections. So, President Trump is always. >> But again, the election is coming and. there are a lot of Republicans who are. concerned about being reelected or or. going against a competitor. What how do. you think the war is going to play into. the elections? >> Well, I think we got to bring gas prices. back down and we got to get the economy.

moving and the housing market moving and. the quality of life for uh for all. Americans uh to to continue to improve. and and and there are lots of good signs. in the economy that that that is. happening. And the good news is that is. that immediately upon uh striking a deal. with Iran, gas prices will plummet and. Americans will feel better from it. Well, we we we've seen that happen. before when it appeared we were going to. come to a resolution, but so then state. regime media is forced to bring in like.

uh analysts from the UK. Corbett Dylan. uh he's on state regime media and. they're having people from right-wing UK. uh politics doing trying to scare people. here about socialism. The hell is even. going on? Play this clip. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, look, I live. in Washington DC. I hear what people are. saying here. And I understand. I know a. lot of people are disappointed with the. Republican party. You know, even. President Trump himself is pretty.

annoyed that they can't get the Save Act. passed. He hasn't been able to deport as. many people as he wants. But my concern. is that particularly the young men, if. these young men check out, you might be. looking at a Democrat takeover of the. White House. And we say Democrat, what. do we really mean? These are socialists. This is exactly what we're looking at. And that is what happened in Europe. The. takeover is very quick, very rapid. And. if you think the border was open under. Biden, wait until these socialists get. in. They will flood the country with. these people. It's the only way they can. get power. They need these people to.

rely on government handouts to put them. in the country. They'll do a mass. amnesty. Everyone will be citizens. It's. what we did in England. We've every one. of these people are becoming citizens. It's a real problem. And I'm scared. You. know, we're running out of places to go. Where am I going to move to next if. America becomes socialist? And all the. while, the American people are saying, "We see our debt now increasing over $40. trillion. Didn't Donald Trump and Elon. Musk say that Doge would slash $2. trillion and now it's over $40 trillion?

Where's our money going?" Oh, wait a. minute. A new Israeli Air Force Boeing. 707 was just replaced by the Boeing KC. 46 Gideon. Oh, that's where our tax more. to catastrophic and unlawful wars. more. to slaughtering people in Iran. What the. hell is going on here? And meanwhile, you have Treasury Secretary Besson. flailing. He's doing Japanese yen. bailout schemes, bond buyback schemes. You have Sentcom out there uh going on.

You have SenCom delivered a message, I. kid you not, to CNBC this morning lying. about the amount of oil, leaving the. straight of hormuz trying to manipulate. the market that way. The American people. see what's going on. The American people. see the ultimate betrayal. And we are. seeing massive movement in the polls. that has Trump and MAGA panic. I want to. bring in Jim Msina of the Msina Group to. help break this down. You're not going.

to want to miss this. Here, let's play. it. Now, I want to bring in Jim Msina, CEO. of the Msina Group, former campaign. manager for former President Obama's. 2012 campaign. Before that, the deputy. chief of staff for former President. Obama. Jim, it's great to see you. I. want to break down the Democratic. overperformance we saw yet again on. Tuesday. We've been seeing this trend. now really actually start January 30th,

2025. I was noticing some of these. special elections over there. And I was. looking at interesting places in Iowa. And then I saw a few months later, Pennsylvania had some specials and then. we've been seeing this Democratic. overperformance from even the polling. data and not little overperformance. I. mean, we're talking about 10, 12, 14, 18, 22 points. A lot of people are.

focused on Donald Trump uh endorsed. candidates not doing great in the. Republican primaries, but I say look at. the data in Pennsylvania House District. 12 where there was a 19point swing in. that district from a Trump uh candidate. who was a plus 30 before that actually. to the Democrat winning and the Democrat. was winning running on kitchen table. issues. We're going to fix your. potholes. We're going to focus back. government you. We're going to talk. about education and the Democrat won a.

plus 19 swing there. A lot of people are. saying that uh this could be like 2018, but I know your thesis is I think that. it's something bigger is brewing. What. do you make of it, Jim? >> Yeah, look, Ben, thanks for asking. And. before we start, you know, I just want. to say thanks. You guys built what the. Democrats spent a decade wishing. existed. you know, an operation that. punches back every day, that doesn't. wait for permission, that meets the. moment at the speed it actually moves.

It's why I wanted to come on. So, thank. you. Now, to your question, I I've I'm a. numbers geek, right? I spent my whole. career looking at the numbers, and the. numbers are super interesting. Democrats. have overperformed in special elections. across the country in over a 100 special. elections all the way from congressional. races to city halls by 12.8%. 8%. Why is. that so important? You know, everyone's. talking about 2018. I really think we're. looking at more of a 2006 election. And.

the reason why that is so important is. because in 2006, we performed. outperformed uh Bush's numbers by 13.5%. It's really a similar thing. They had a. second term, very unpopular president. We started to really get together on an. economic message that mattered. Uh and. we overperformed by 13 and a half. points. that allowed us to stun the. world and take back the United States. Senate and the House. People thought we. were going to take the House, but they. thought the Senate was too much of a. stretch. And we won in states that were.

big surprises like Virginia, which at. the time was a red state, hadn't elected. a Democrat. My home state of Montana, I. was involved in that race with John. Tester. And so, you start to look at. these numbers. Just take the legislative. races. And I, like you, looked very. closely at the Pennsylvania election the. other night. Across the country, we've. now won 40, we've flipped 41 Republican. legislative seats in special elections. Republicans have flipped zero. Zero.

since Donald Trump put his hand on the. Bible in January of 2025. And when you. look at why. it is the thing that is uniting the. Democratic Party, doesn't matter what. side of the Democratic party you're on, we're all in that Donald Trump has made. life too expensive. The word expensive. is the most important word we can use. Uh, Priorities USA, which I used to. chair, just did this massive look at. everyone's search, what people are. searching. They're not calling it. affordability. They're not calling it.

cost of living. They're literally typing. in their search engines and saying, "Why. is everything so expensive? Why is gas. expensive? Why is home heating. expensive? Why is buying a new car so. expensive?" That word expensive has now. become the most important thing we can. talk about and it's why we're. overperforming in these elections. And. if we can do that in the way we've been. doing it across the country, then the. United States Senate is in play again in. 2026. Um, you know, we're going to have.

to win the US Senate, Ben. We're going. to have to win states, at least two. states, where Donald Trump won by over. 10 points. Maybe it's uh Iowa, maybe. it's Alaska, maybe it's Texas, maybe. like 2006, it's all of them. And to do. that, you need to really overperform. You also look at some of these results. and why we're winning these elections is. all about enthusiasm. It's all about. turnout. It's all about Democrats. overperforming. We're overperforming. what the models say we should be.

overperforming by about 10 points. People are voting that we don't think. are going to vote. You know, when I run. races, when I ran Obama's campaign, I. didn't care about the polls because we. trailed Mitt Romney until the very end. I cared about enthusiasm. Are my voters. more enthusiastic than Republican. voters? And right now on the very. enthusiastic metric, Democrats lead by. 20 points in the Ipsos poll out this. week. 20 points. That is that starts to.

become wavelike material. Ben, sorry for. the long answer to your short question. I like long answers. I like data geeks. I like this interview. Feel free to go. on and on and on because I think it's. helpful to hear that historical. perspective. And now it seems. Republicans are like that basketball. player when you play defense that could. only dribble right. They've got one. move. And so you go, "All right, I I. know your move." And their move right. now heading into this election is a move. to use another basketball example. I.

think is getting swatted down and. rejected. Culture wars. They want to do. the culture war and they want to talk. about Sophie Cunningham and WNBA, which. is nice to my basketball analogy. She. got fouled hard. That's what Spox is. talking about. It's like, you know, and. somehow we're supposed to be angry about. these things. You know, they're creating. Boogeyman and you know, uh, you know, you hear Magga Mike Johnson, you know, well, communism has never worked in. history and so it's going to be they're. coming to get you and they're coming to. kill you. And the American people like,

I don't even know what what what are you. talking about? Okay, things are too. expensive. My life is being screwed. right now. And and and then I watch like. I was watching uh Lindsey Graham's. sister, you know, at at her debate. And. yes, she didn't know what Taiwan was and. it was horrible and they doubled down on. it and it's the most embarrassing thing. But what was almost even worse was the. answer that was given by Ralph Norman in. the debate also where Norman was like, "And that's why we're so powerful. because Trump's policy is working.".

People like it's not working and worse. than Dar Graham's answer there and she's. like and you didn't support the big. beautiful bill enough and everyone loves. the big beautiful bill and I'm like. that's a disastrous bill. What are you. talking about? The American people hate. this thing because it's ripped away. their healthcare. It's shut down rural. hospitals. It's made things more. expensive. And they go out acting like. this is a victory like like like that. we're all thriving and the people like. we're not. That's what they're running. on that this is amazing. >> Yeah, you're exactly right. Look, I love.

the sports analogy that you use because. it's the right thing. They have one play. and they're just going to play the play. over and over and over again. Uh, and. that's culture war, right? They go right. back to it. But we all know that games. evolve. Like teams evolve and figure out. new plays. And that's what the. Democratic Party has done. Democratic. party did exactly what you want them to. do, which is look at what people's lives. are and say, "How do we make them. better?" It's maybe different recipes, but it all comes from the same place. Mandani is talking about uh cost of.

living and expenses the same way Mikey. Cheryl is, the same way that our. candidates across the country are. It's. about meeting the moment. And to your. smart point, Ben, Republicans are not. meeting the moment. They're going right. back to culture wars and they're trying. to defend their dear leader. Because you. know, there's one play in Republican. primaries, and that is just try to be. the most Trump, and that's the way. you're going to get through the. primaries. The problem with that play is. eventually you get to a general. election. and dear leader is now wildly.

unpopular especially with swing voters. and at the time 78 days yesterday before. the election when any competent White. House would have had the president of. the United States way I would have done. it when I was in the White House you. would have put Barack Obama at a. warehouse at a factory at a place. talking to normal workers talking about. about expenses talking about what he's. doing what did dear leader doer then. toured with reporters his ballroom and. complain lain the entire time about how. the Supreme Court needs to let him build.

his ballroom and how great the grass is. and how he got free grass from Scots and. everything was great. Like this is 78. days before the election. They are just. tonedeaf and they can't do it cuz they. have nothing to say. All they can do is. run back to the big beautiful bill which. by the way the policies in that bill now. have over 70% of Americans saying. they're terrible. Why are they're. terrible? because voters are going back. to school and they know that school is. now double as expensive as it was before. because of the tariffs, because of the.

war in Iran that they started for for no. real reason and no way to get out. And. so people's lives, to your point, are. suffering. And they're starting to say, "Okay, I'm going to send a very clear. message at the ballot box about my. unhappiness." And the way they can do. that so far has been in these special. elections and these primaries. You know, the one number that really didn't get. looked at the other night was in. Wyoming. I'm talking to you from my home. state in Montana and next door in. Wyoming. Wyoming is the most Donald.

Trump state in America. Voted for the. biggest percentage and he still has the. highest approval rating in Wyoming of. any state. He endorsed a candidate for. governor even before she announced. He. campaigned for her. He sent out a couple. truth socials for her. Said everyone. needs to support her. 70% of the party voted against her. She. got 30% and got buried by double digits. This is what is starting to happen in. his own party. And if you think it's bad. in his own party, you wait till. November, right? And there's the.

expression that you know everything. seems to be happening then everything. happens all at once and it doesn't. there are trends that we have been. seeing and so when the midterm comes. when a result happens the way I think we. perhaps expect it to although shouldn't. get complacent um people need to be. following these trends and one thing. that I think people are also um deeply. uh distressed about is just the. authoritarianism of this Trump regime. it's why I call him a regime in your.

oped Trump's GOP ditched federalism. United States will pay for it. And you. know, I think about the Tea Party, I. think about the don't tread on me flags, and I think about that mantra, and I do. think that the idea of don't tread on me. is indeed embedded in the United States. But it was co-opted by the ultimate. treader. I mean, Donald Trump literally. is a treader. He says, "I'm going to put.

ICE in Border Patrol Gustapo not to. actually do Border Patrol or I'm going. to freaking torture you and I'm going to. run my own paramilitary or military. brown shirts in your community. I'm. going to tread on you and destroy your. communities. I'm going to impose my will. on you. States rights don't matter. And. then I'm going to sign my stupid name on. everything. And you're going to see my. face just like Mao and just like Stalin.

everywhere. You're going to see it on. your money. You're going to see it on. your national park passes. And you will. and people like, "What the hell is. this?" And there's a there and this is. what I think Senator Assaf does a great. job and some of the candidates that are. winning. It's not about just saying how. awful these things are or Trump's going. off with Natalie. Everyone's missing. It's he's doing that. while the American people are suffering,

you know, while people are, you know, are getting screwed. He's doing these. things and this is what the American. people are suffering. So, I just wanted. you to talk about that before we go. >> Yeah. Look, I I think you're exactly. right. I think what we need to do and. Osaf is doing it as well as anyone in. the party is tie his actions directly to. why voters's lives are more difficult. And I think that is the key in this. election to make sure people understand. But your point about authoritarianism, you know, I wrote this oped because I I.

spent my whole career arguing with. Republicans who generally believed in. this concept of federalism. Get. Washington out of the way. Let the. states lead. They quoted it like. scripture, Ben. And that party's gone. The people running Washington, Donald. Trump is now the most aggressive. centralizer of power in American. history. You talked about some of the. examples. Troops into American cities. over the governor's request. Overriding. local immigration policy and saying, "No, you have to do it this way." And on.

an issue that I'm super passionate. about. I grew up poor. I grew up as a. Medicaid kid, as a CHIP kid. Um on. Medicaid, they aren't just overruling. the states. They're taking the power. away from the states to govern. themselves. And the people that are most. harmed by that are normal voters, especially in these red states. You. know, Dr. Oz's agency took the one. beautiful shitty bill and wrote. a rule that implements it and they cut. Medicaid by another half a trillion.

dollars by their own math, by one. executive fiat. There's no way they can. do this. And I think in the end. hopefully the courts will stop them. But. when you look at who land who it lands. the hardest on. It's his own best. states. Alabama, Mississippi, Utah, Texas, Florida, states that didn't do. Medicaid expansion, but they still had. to take care of their kids. And so they. did it different ways. They did it with. property taxes. They did it with with.

provider taxes on local hospitals and. providers. And instead of, you know, so. if you have governors who are now in. these states, they have two choices. They can gut care for people who most. need it or they can raise your property. taxes in the middle of expense crisis. And so the people that are going to. really suffer are these, you know, low-income Americans that voted for. Donald Trump. And he doesn't care. And. so he's letting his TV evangelist, Dr. Oz pass a a new rule that cuts another.

half a trillion dollars. It's just. scandalous. And all these people that. spent decades of my life on on Capitol. Hill lecturing me about federalism are. now saying, "No, we need to do all this. because Donald Trump should get to do. what he wants." Well, guess what? The. people that voted for you, the people. that you profess to care about are the. people that are the most suffering. And. it really is authoritarianism at its. very, very worst.
