CNN Data Guru: GOP Will Be 'Eaten Alive' For Beautiful Bill

Though the relentless whirl of Jeffrey Epstein revelations has knocked President Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill out of the headlines, it doesn’t look like voters have forgotten about the recent GOP spending bill.

On Friday, CNN Data Analyst Harry Enten warned House Republicans that the bill they passed last month could come back to bite them next year.

After Wolf Blitzer showed a clip of GOP Rep. Bryan Steil’s catastrophic town hall in Wisconsin on Wednesday, during which voters savaged him for his vote on the bill, Enten confirmed that the mood in the town hall was representative of voters’ broader sentiment toward the legislation.

“They hate the Big, Beautiful Bill,” Enten said on The Situation Room. “They absolutely hate it.”

To back up his analysis, he showed a series of four polls from the past month that collectively put the bill’s net approval rating far underwater.

I predict that the minute these things start hurting folks they'll turn on the GOP like a bunch of hurt dogs. And hurt dogs scream the loudest and bite the hardest

Those who don't give a damn about Medicare/Medicaid because they have private insurance, now find out that their parent will not be able to go to that nursing home and the hospital closest to them are closing...

Those who don't give a damn that the poor and middle class are left without resources previously passed through the Feds to the states and then locally--well, guess what, their favorite NPR or PBS channel is in danger of being lost forever, and those emergency alerts for the destination areas where they have second vacation homes will be lost as well.

Those who don't give a damn that the Dept of Education is being dismantled, including all their interventions to provide services to the developmentally disabled and others--just found out their grandchild is going to be in need of these services.

And whether it is FEMA, or drug treatment programs, or the litany of others lost to Trump/Republicans' greed, well, there is a cause for outrage tailored to EVERYONE. May they fully reep what they have sown.

But there's always plenty who will blindly blame Biden, Kamala, JFK, FDR and all other Democrats living and dead.

off the air due to their idiotic actions. These actions of theirs is nothing more than supporting all of their stupid and idiotic actions to enact more tax cuts for their 1%ers.

I hope for every knife cut, every slice off PBS, and so many other essential items, that they will feel every sharp edge forever, in their losing elections, their future jobs, everything will disappear for these scumbags.
