One thing I found incredibly interesting is that Trump's energy push is backfiring.

With all of Trump's rhetoric about energy dominance and making up bizarre gas price claims, only 33% of people believe the Republican Party was better prepared to provide them cheap, reliable energy.

Democrats were 38%.

Democrats aren't even campaigning or pushing on this issue.

People's electricity bills are campaigning for Democrats.

When it came to making healthcare affordable, 33% said Republicans, 42% said Democrats.

Medical bills campaign for Democrats too.

There are all of the moral and ethical reasons that independents and some Republicans have turned on Trump.

But deep down, like most times, it's the money.

The economy is what swings voters because people care about the pebble in their shoe.

In a way, it's a sad state of affairs that the best chance to use the midterms to reduce all of the moral harms occurring right now really exists because a bunch of people believed a guy with a pretty shaky financial record could fix the economy he broke to begin with.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there, Internet people.

It's Belle again.

So today, we're going to talk about the GOP losing Miami and what it means.

In yet another absolutely devastating swing for the Republican Party and sign of the state of Trumpian popularity before the midterms, the Trump-endorsed candidate for mayor of Miami lost, bigly.

Higgins won by about 19 percentage points.

There was also a pretty resounding defeat for Trump and Republicans in Georgia's 121st district as well.

Democrats won a district Trump won by 12 points in the last election.
