Poll shows growth of Trump base

 The Hill:

A growing number of Republicans are embracing the banner of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, fueling an overall surge in the number of Americans who identify with Trump’s ubiquitous rallying cry, according to a new poll from NBC News.

More than 70 percent of Republicans surveyed for the poll in March said they consider themselves part of the MAGA movement — up from 55 percent just before the November presidential election that clinched Trump’s return to the White House this year.

The GOP consolidation around Trump and his policies has fostered an overall shift toward adopting the MAGA moniker and lifting it to new heights, the survey found.

Trump isn’t the first politician to try to coin the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again,” but the shorthand MAGA has been synonymous with the former reality TV star and the populist leanings of his political ideology since he launched his first successful presidential campaign nearly a decade ago.

About 1 in 5 registered voters across all parties polled in January 2024 identified as MAGA supporters, NBC News reported. That number nearly doubled, to just under 40 percent, in the survey conducted last month.
...

Trump's record on the economy and foreign policy is vastly superior to that of Joe Biden and the Democrats.  That is one of the reasons the Democrats are polling in the 20s instead of being competitive.  Inflation is lower under Trump, and the world is more peaceful.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
