You can't stop him you can only hope to contain him
The poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points, showed Massie's favorability rating dropped from 54% in June to 43%, while his unfavorability rating rose to 54% from 40%. His overall job approval slipped from 52% to 39%.
It could be the result of an effective advertising blitz launched in Massie's district by MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC that reportedly spent $800,000 on a TV ad campaign after previously spending $1 million on a previous TV spot attacking Massie.
"MAGA Kentucky's ad campaign has been extremely effective in driving up awareness and influencing voter opinions," the poll stated. The majority (53%) is less likely to vote for Thomas Massie based on what they have seen, read or heard."
The poll showed that Trump's favorability and job approval in Massie's district held steady at 85% and 87%, respectively. In June, 49% disagreed that Massie supported Trump and his policies, with 42% agreeing. In the latest poll, 62% disagreed that Massie supported Trump and his policies, with just 25% agreeing.
"Standing with Democrats and voting against President Trump's tax cuts and policies has put Thomas Massie at odds with the Republican base," the poll stated. "Three-in-five primary voters (57%) would be more likely to vote for a candidate who is endorsed and supported by President Trump."
The poll showed that Massie's "re-elect score decreased from 41% in June to 30%, leaving him a low floor to stand on."——-
Massie isn't in trouble for being libertarian or wanting to slash spending. He's in trouble because it became obvious he didn't say shit under Biden but was willing to stop Trump because the bill couldn't slash spending due to arcane congressional rules
I think it is great if folks have a problem with Trump being a big spending liberal but I do have a problem it they are retarded about it. Massie is in Congress. Do something about it. Please.
This morning he is mad that police are taking guns from gang bangers in DC. Libertarians like to shoot themselves in the foot with their guns
A limited government platform that allowed for national defense and closed borders would be immensely popular. Kind of like the majority Tug platform

Libertarians were first and right on the Fed, Patriot Act and Covid.
Massie hasn’t been perfect by any means, but his role is useful and more important than just replacing him with another generic Republican to get one more guaranteed vote. I want him there.

Beef #2
Where you been the last ten years? I agree they are better than swamp GOPs like Linzey but they need to actually be effective for it to matter
Classic Liberals were right too but also want borders and defense. JFK ran on Ike being soft on defense. People forget that

I still love Vivek. He’ll get his reads down in Ohio and we will hear from him again.

I don't doubt it. I am a proponent of prefect is the enemy of good. I think he learned something when he popped off. I'm not actually trashing Massie or Rand either - I just want them to fight the real enemy. As in most things I agree about 81% with both of them
