She did a short segment on a recent poll of Dems and pugs support of the Syrian bombing by Trump vs support for Obama's suggestion of bombing in 2013. Very revealing. Showed that Dem support was essentially unchanged (38% v 37%) while pugs went from 22% to 86% in favor. That's all you need to conclusively prove that 64% of republicans are idiots who only see donkeys and elephants. The parties are the same my ass!
I didn't catch the name of the poll, but want the graphic to torment my republican friends this weekend. Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance.

The graphic can probably be accessed thru the 2nd link below... (but I am not able to verify that due to a Subscription Block pop-up)

(16,178 posts)Partly it's pure partisan thinking. Partly they are weak-minded in the face of fear messaging. Either way, it shows some interesting difference about not being informed voters or being unable to think for themselves.
