Good: Gallup; Bad: Gaetz; Crazy: Trump Campaign

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

GOOD: New from Gallup:

Although both parties are about equally disliked, the public chooses the Republican Party over the Democratic Party by healthy margins when asked which will better safeguard the nation’s prosperity and security.

  • Fifty-three percent of Americans believe the Republican Party will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous over the next few years, whereas 39% choose the Democratic Party.
  • A slightly larger majority, 57%, have greater faith in the Republican Party to protect the country from international terrorism and military threats, while 35% favor the Democrats.

BAD: So what's the point of Matt Gaetz's doomed motion against House Speaker McCarthy? What does it get anybody, other than more attention on Gaetz?CRAZY: The Trump campaign formally calls for the cancellation of all future debates. Nobody votes until January 15.
