Poll Shows That Even Republicans Hate Republican Policies

A new survey has revealed some shocking information for Republicans: Even their own base hates their plans. Specifically, the survey was asking about the “concepts of a plan” that Republicans have for healthcare, and Republican voters overwhelmingly reject nearly every aspect of what Republicans have proposed. But it isn’t just healthcare – Republicans are also against the idiotic economic plans that their own Party is proposing. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

It turns out that even Republican voters don't like Republican policies because Republican policies are downright awful when they exist. Of course, for the most part, the Republican Party in the United States has no actual plans. You know, as Trump admitted during the presidential debate, they have concepts of a plan, but they don't have any real ideas on what to do. So Data for Progress decided to do a new survey on the things that Republicans have kind of proposed, basically their concepts of a healthcare plan. And it turns out that an overwhelming number of Republican voters, a vast majority of them, reject nearly every single thing that Republicans want to do to healthcare. So here it is allowing insurers to deny coverage or charge people more if they have preexisting conditions. That is something that Republicans have suggested, and it is rejected by more than 60% of voters, including Republicans.

A majority of Republicans stopping Medicare from having the ability to negotiate lower drug prices. Well, 57% of the General Republic rejects that, and, uh, a majority of Republicans reject it, allowing health insurance company to charge higher premiums to individuals who let their health coverage lapse. 49%, a plurality reject that, and a plurality of Republican voters reject it as well. The list goes on and on. Um, it decreasing funding for public healthcare programs. Plurality don't like that, and a plurality of Republicans don't like that. They do want the government, believe it or not, to actually pay for some healthcare programs. The point is this, even the people who go to the voting booth every year, every two years and vote Republican down the line, they look at the policies of these people and say, man, that sucks. Boy, I hate this. These people, I am, you know, filling in the arrow for they are just god awful.

But, uh, I'm doing it. Why? Because that's how tribal you are, because that's what you think you should be doing. 'cause you just hate Democrats that much. You don't even like your own party and you're still putting these people back into power. Every time you go to the voting booth, the polls prove you don't like these ideas. You don't like Donald Trump's tax plan. You don't like his tariffs, you don't like your own party's trickle down economics anymore. According to the polls. What you do like when there's no political party attached to it are things like a government run healthcare system where you have no cost at point of service. You like the idea of saving the environment. Polls show that when there are not political parties or

Politicians tied to ideas, the majority of the country is super progressive. But once you start attaching political parties to it, these Republicans say, oh, hell no, no, no, no. I may not like what my party's doing, but I don't want these things that I like a second ago because now I know they're Democrat plans. It's stupid. We're a country of morons. Like we, we just are generally, when you put us all together, we're all dumb. But here's the kicker. It's not just Republican voters that don't like Republican policies because apparently there are some very high profile Republican lawmakers that are also speaking out against their party's own policies. And that happens to be coming from none other than Mitch fricking McConnell himself. Earlier this week when Donald Trump proposed putting a 200% tariff on John Deere, uh, tractors, Mitch McConnell came out, came out and said this former President Trump has proposed a 200% tariff on John Deere tractors if they're made in Mexico.
