Cross Discusses Current Trump Policy
Scott Jennings’ ability to maintain composure in the midst of broadcast absurdity has almost become its own subgenre of political theater. When a recent guest confidently asserted that Donald Trump and the GOP are facing some kind of electoral implosion, Jennings didn’t even have to respond with words—the smirk said it all.
The idea that the Republican Party’s approval ratings have “cratered” might play well in social media echo chambers or make for snappy headlines on progressive blogs, but it collapses under even light scrutiny.
Scott Jennings breaks out in uncontrollable laughter after guest on CNN claims Trump and GOP approval ratings have “cratered.”

The problem is, Democrats aren’t used to being on the defensive. For the better part of two decades, they’ve positioned themselves as the arbiters of moral truth, the perpetual fact-checkers in chief, the only adults in the room. But now, facing a rising tide of political realignment, they seem more rattled than ready.
Voters aren’t just rejecting policy—many are rejecting tone, attitude, and elitism masquerading as insight. That rejection is surfacing in approval ratings that consistently languish in the low 30s, if not worse. And yes, 34 percent is generous.
It’s embarrassing CNN continues to give Tiffany Cross a platform, even MSNBC fired her.

Then there was Tiffany Cross, offering another helping of condescension disguised as commentary. Her sermon on privilege sounded less like news analysis and more like a struggling professor lecturing a classroom that stopped paying attention years ago.
The network’s roster of pundits increasingly feels like a museum exhibit of obsolete talking points. These aren’t just failed narratives—they’re artifacts from a bygone political order that couldn’t survive Trump’s disruption.
Here’s the deeper irony: while Democrats scramble to hold their coalition together, Republicans are quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) eating their lunch. The Obama-era voter coalition? Fragmented. The financial war chest? Tilting red. Even the once-sacrosanct blue advantage in voter registration is starting to slip. And with redistricting battles favoring conservatives, the chessboard itself is being redrawn. The rules are changing—and not in their favor.
