TYT: Voters Love Obama's Ideas When They Think They're Trump’s

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Republicans are pretty sure they don’t like President Obama’s policies, unless they they they’re coming from Donald Trump. There was an experiment where they asked voters a set of policy questions and told the voters they were either President Obama’s position or Donald Trump’s. Republicans shifted considerably to favoring policies they thought were Donald Trump’s but were actually the President’s. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.

Does this surprise you? What else do you think Republican’s would be for if Trump said he supported it? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“...most Americans, regardless of their political views, don't have a solid opinion about every single issue of the day, particularly when it concerns a complicated or obscure topic. People tend, reasonably, to rely on partisan cues -- if a politician they support is in favor of a bill, they're likely to think it's a good idea, or vice versa.

As a classic case in point, Republicans are more likely to oppose repealing the 1975 Public Affairs Act -- which doesn't actually exist -- when they're told that President Barack Obama wants to do so, while Democrats object when they're told it's a Republican proposal. But even when it comes to real issues, reactions to polls can vary greatly, depending on the wording.”*

He has an affair and everyone acts like that position is political poison.
