Public Opposes Trump's Bogus "Emergency" [UPDATED]

On the day the Senate takes up a vote to reject corrupt demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump's "emergency declaration" to build his manhood wall on the southern border that Mexico was going to pay for, a new Politico / Morning Consult poll shows that a majority of Americans reject Rump's unconstitutional end-run. Fifty-two percent oppose the bogus "emergency declaration", while only 38% support it. Last month, 51% opposed the declaration, showing an erosion of support.

While the responses from Dems (83% oppose) and Rethugs (80% support) are expected, the tally for Independent voters signals trouble for Rump: by nearly 2-to-1, Independents oppose the bogus declaration, 57% - 30%.

Whether more than just a handful of Rethug Senators buck Rump's declaration remains to be seen. They've not been pillars of courage. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: The Senate rejected Rump's bogus "emergency declaration" with a vote of 59 - 41 with 12 Rethuglicans joining all Dems in voting no. (North Carolina Sen. Thom "Tilly" Tillis voted to support Rump, despite writing a critical editorial in the Washington Post just days ago. He obviously saw the measure would be defeated by a good margin, and decided to defect to Rump's side since his vote wouldn't be decisive. Coward.)
