NHJournal has a piece this week titled “NH Trump supporters largely silent as his poll numbers slide.” Someone sent me the link because GraniteGrok was mentioned in the report, so I took one for the team and went there to read it.
NHJournal contacted a dozen Granite State Republicans who have either actively supported Trump or voted for him in the past. The vast majority were unwilling to defend Trump on the record or express optimism about the current state of Trump’s campaign. The volume of pro-Trump advocacy on social media has also dropped, despite the Elon Musk era arriving at Twitter. And as of late Tuesday night, the far-right, pro-Trump website Granite Grok did not have a single headline mentioning Trump in its top 10 pages of posts.
For the record, ten pages of posts are 7-8 days of content at the alleged “far-right, pro-Trump,” website, so I guess we’re supposed to talk about Trump every week, or it’s a sign of something. As another “for the record,” it has been a lot longer since we mentioned Mr. Trump in a headline. Aside from his “I’m running” announcement in mid-November, there hasn’t been anything for regular folks to discuss.
Unlike journalists™, we’re not obsessed with him because we’re not here for President Trump, Governor Sununu, or even the Republican party. They are here for us. We’re Constitutional Conservatives. That means we want to conserve the limitations placed on government by the Constitution. If a pol lines up to defend those rights, we might applaud that if it catches our eye. If they attack or undermine those principles, they might get a trip to the rhetorical woodshed.
Mr. Trump was good on the border and national security, the economy, keeping our enemies on their toes and advancing Middle East Peace. He encouraged policies that created jobs in America and helped wages and incomes rise. He favored fewer federal regulations, and under his leadership, fuel and energy prices went down, and with that, a lot of other things. He got snookered on the pandemic/vaccine thing, was lousy on federal spending, and got taken by the swamp he said he’d clean out.
They cleaned him out instead, and plenty of Republicans helped, as did NHJournal (read Ed Mosca).
And did you know that NHJournal (Inside Sources) is based/owned out of Virginia – I believe that’s still true. They have three sites, DCJournal (US Capitol), DVJournal (Delaware), and NHJournal. And I’m not positive, but I don’t think Michael Graham lives or works in New Hampshire.
Maybe none of that matters, but it’s been a while since we brought it up, in case anyone is keeping track.
