Dem playbook

Kudos to the Boston Herald on its editorial (“Dems dismiss Trump supporters at their peril,” Jan. 17). What happened in Iowa at the caucuses will be repeated in the upcoming New Hampshire primary. Your newspaper’s editorial succinctly points out why Trump remains quite popular at the polls and why Democrats keep going back to their tired old playbook.

I voted for Donald Trump as a Reagan Democrat in 2016, I voted to re-elect him in 2020 and I plan on voting for Trump a third time this year. The Democrats have moved so far to the left they have become unrecognizable. They have forgotten about most of us in this country suffering from having the worst president in our nation’s history. Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter now looks like Thomas Jefferson. Actually if Carter were on the ballot this year, I would vote for him over our incumbent taking up space in the White House.

What has happened to the Democrats is unbelievable. They have become the anti-party. They stand for public discord.

Republicans for the most part are almost as useless as Democrats which is why Trump keeps rising higher in the polls. Forget about the Ukraine, forget about Hamas, most Americans — thanks to inflation — are living day to day and things like the price of a dozen eggs will get people lining up at the polls to vote Trump. Democrats just don’t seem to understand how angry and frustrated voters across this nation are. Biden’s poll numbers are down to a 33% approval rating.

Trump is listening to the American people while Democrats are still preaching how good things are. Their message is pure nonsense. If Democrats don’t start listening to the voters, they deserve to lose in November. — Sal Giarratani East Boston
