My heart is filled with so much joy, and I just have to share this with you. If not to just put a smile on your face, Republican voters are saying to Donald Trump, enough is enough. We are sick and tired of you. We're getting Republicans by the tens of thousands who are sharing their stories with us spontaneously here at the Midas Touch Network. And I want to share some of them.

It's my belief that the Republican Party needs to be handed a loss so severe they never flirt with wannabe dictators like Trump ever again. It's time to cut out. The rot. Let me think about it, folks. Donald Trump's closing message right now is that America is garbage. He's going around saying America is a garbage can. America is crap. America is the worst. No, we're not. How dare you talk about the United States of America like that? I'll show you more on that in a moment. But people are pissed at him saying that. Republicans are freaking pissed at him. Take a look at what Chuck tells me. Trump called America a trash can. How anyone would vote for him hurts my heart.

MAGA is not Republicans. Republicans aren't like Republicans anymore. There is Democrats, classic Republicans and independents who are part of the Pro-democracy community. And then there's the Trump MAGA party. That's what we have right now. But yet the media is always like, liberals, conservatives. That's just simply not what's going on right now. Let's take a look right here at more comments right here. Voted for Trump last time, then January 6th happened. This time I voted blue for this country and constitution.
