The media and some pollsters can try to sugarcoat things for the con, but people are angry [View all]

And they aren't going to succeed in hiding or sugarcoating that anger.

They can try to focus on the Democrats being upset with their own leadership, specifically Schumer, instead of the anger at what is happening, but they are missing the point.

People are upset with Schumer because they are angry about what Trump and Republicans are doing. They are looking for stronger leadership because of what Trump is doing. They want someone to fight Trump harder. The story isn't Schumer as much as it is the anger and disgust at what Trump is doing and we want someone to fight him and stop him. The real story is about the anger and disgust of the public with Trump.

People are fed up with the con and what he is doing being normalized. People are tired of the pushed message that this should be accepted as business as usual. None of this is business as usual. Trump is destroying people's lives, our way of life, our happiness and wellbeing, our relationships with others and our Democracy.

People are angry. They are fed up. That is the story. And the media and pollsters better start focusing on that, because this anger is not going away.
