Top GOP senator: Polls are 'a message' to Trump to change strategy
By Alexander Bolton - 06/24/20 11:34 AM EDT

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) says polling showing President Trump falling far behind former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is a wake-up call for Trump to change his tone and focus on substance and policy.

“I think right now obviously Trump has a problem with the middle of the electorate, with independents, and they’re the people who are going to decide a national election,” Thune said.

“I think he can win those back but it will probably require not only a message that deals with substance and policy but I think a message that conveys a perhaps different tone,” he added.


Thune made his comments Wednesday morning when asked about a newly released New York Times-Siena College poll of 1,337 registered voters nationwide showing Biden leading Trump by 14 points in a hypothetical matchup, 50 percent to 36 percent.

Thune may be right about independents. 

But I don't see Trump changing anything.  His schtick entertains his fans.  Trump isn't interested in attracting anyone outside his base.  That could be a bad strategy.

First of all polls haven't been reliable the past several election cycles.  Secondly, this is June.  I think it's a little early to be making such assessments.  The first debate between Trump and Biden hasn't happened and I think we're all waiting to see if Biden even stays in the race or steps down.  We're also still waiting to see who Biden selects as VP -- who he picks I think is going to be a better barometer as to how difficult it is going to be for Trump to win.  Still betting on Michael Obama.

This insubordination will not go unanswered.

"Few people know where they’ll be in two years from now, but I do, in the Great State of Alaska South Dakota (which I love) campaigning against Senator Lisa Murkowski John Thune," Trump wrote Thursday Wednesday evening. "Get any candidate ready, good or bad, I don’t care, I’m endorsing. If you have a pulse, I’m with you!"

Of course they are a message. Always.
'Polls' are a manufactured rudder meant to steer the public opinion and politicians in the direction the poll owner wants. The famous quote applies, "Polls do not reflect reality. The purpose of polls is to create reality."

Polls are unreliable.  I will agree there.  But I do think Thune is right about independents   Many of them went for Trump in 2016.  Trump should not assume they will do the same this year.  A lot has changed in four years.

Hmm........strategy is derived from a plan which requires reflecting on one's experience.
This gives us an intuition about the future so we don't repeat the same mistakes.
This should take Trump about 200 years!

At this point the polls are just trying to build the psychological base from which the Democrats may be able to defraud their way to a squeaker in the fall, and still have some people believe it. They are PSYOPS, designed to make people something that does not exist does, just like that big Bolshevik majority
(That scam worked, so let's learn from that. After all, these are the ideological descendants of Lenin we're dealing with.)

Polls had Hillary ahead at this time in 2016.

The climate today is such Some Trump supporters wouldn't dare openly express their support.

Employers for instance, look at social media. Also check out the Bradley effect.
Another analysts performed his own "Bradley poll" on Twitter, which reinforced this.

Not being a member of the leftist establishment was the appeal of Trump in the first place. And it is MORE clear now than it was in 2016 that the establishment is willing to pull out all the stops, legal and illegal, to defeat him. Have all those voters suddenly decided they prefer the establishment? I wouldn't think so.

The only thing that gives me pause is some of his base might perceive that he hasn't been forceful enough in opposing the deep state.

Why would Trump listen to the same @#$% pollsters who confidently stated that Hillary would be President? In 1980, pollsters who miscalled the Carter-Reagan race actually tried to figure out why they erred and adjust their methods. In the aftermath of their 2016 debacle, pollsters changed .......... nothing.

FWIW, for those voters, the effect is still the same as the lesser evil game..

No one else running will oppose the Deep State at all, so that leaves for those voters a half measure being better than none. Unfortunately, failure to follow up and put people in prison over some of the things which have been done will only show the Deep-staters where their weaknesses are, and what they need to fix to be more secure. If that entire tumor isn't removed, it will only return with a vengeance.

The only thing that he needs to change is being lax on his response to Antifa and BLM and the havoc that they continue to inflict on our Republic.   If he doesn't he will continue to look weak, the thugs will continue to destroy this country and we won't see another election and if we do it sure as heck won't be without conflict and corruption.

Here's the trap.

If he does exert Federal Authority where it isn't authorized by Statute or Constitution, he exceeds legitimate Presidential Authority and can be gigged for that.
These are local matters, with local and State solutions first, and Federal only if requested--unless Federal Property is involved (like the monuments in D.C.) or directly threatened.

While the Press are trying to make it Trump's fault, that simply isn't his job, unless Federal assistance is formally requested by those in the several States and other jurisdictions. He can no more legally send troops to clear out the CHOP or Minneapolis than Bush could send in National Guard assistance after Katrina without the Governor's request.

We saw this same thing play out when he mentioned exerting Federal Authority over Pandemic Response over COVID-19. Not his job, not his authority, for good or ill, it is up to the States and local authorities.

Sure, the Leftists who aren't exerting their authority to stifle violence and end looting, destruction, and occupations, are pointing the finger at him. THAT is the gambit. But it is their unwillingness to take action, ordered 'stand downs', etc. that have ENABLED this level of looting and Civil Unrest in the first place.
 
By doing nothing they (believe,perhaps even rightly so) that they will retain their positions of power. I have little doubt the political organizations into which donations to the BLM/ANTIFA front groups are being diverted to such campaigns to ensure these willing lackeys of the Communists stay in power as a reward. I would wager those donations are essentially from two sources: suckers, and the Soros led bunch who are billionaires who want control of the Global Government they hope to erect.

I would be all for designating ANTIFA (and BLM, though that would be called "Racist") as domestic terror groups, and treating their leaders/members/financiers appropriately.

His "schitick" is not only entertaining us, but he is actually getting things done that we have hoped for, for decades.

What things?

Seem to me Trump wastes an unusual amount of time on petty BS when he should be talking seriously about the issues and outlining strategies for dealing with them.

He has not taken this virus seriously and what he calls his "response" to the coronavirus has consisted of blaming China, mocking the virus itself and those daily briefings which he spent campaigning for re-election instead of providing meaningful information and reassurance to a nation in crisis. 

And then there are those terrorists going around the country destroying monuments, burning, looting and committing violent acts against police and ordinary citizens.  Oh, Trump has made threats and I seem to recall the DOJ was going to investigate these terrorists.  But it seems to those of us non-supporters that it's all been so much hot air. 

Plus we look at his first term -- all the promises unfulfilled and broken.  Trump and the Republicans  at one point had both houses of congress plus the presidency.    What did they accomplish exactly?  Nothing.  So if Trump could do nothing in the first four years, particularly when his party was calling all the shots, what makes anyone think he's going to do any better the next four years, particularly now that his party lost the house and quite possibly will lose the senate too?

Those of us not mesmerized by Trump's schtick look instead at his first-term record and see the prospects for a second term.  Neither are pretty.

My take of "independent" is someone who is unable or unwilling to make up his/her mind and take a stand.

This year, more than ever in our recent history.

If "independents" are so STUPID that they can't look around, observe what's happening, and then know which way to go -- especially in view of the past 5 weeks -- they're literally "too stupid to vote".

In their case, I'm all for "voter suppression".

Well, this independent would like to "take a stand" as you call it, but the choices between the two parties are abysmal.  IMO, if you are looking for Trump to "save us" from the Democrats, you are making the wrong choice.    Neither candidate is the right choice.

You must be friends with @sneakypete   He once told me I should have my right to vote taken away.

We all have choices to make and we all have the right to make them.  It's just that right now, I don't see either choice as being any good.

Nonsense.  True, it's up to congress to write and pass legislation to get things done, but as president, he should have had the influence to work with his party to get a move on.  He didn't do that.  All of them, from the president on down, sat on their collective rumps and squandered a perfect opportunity . They all share the blame for not keeping their promises.

Against Obama or the Clintons, just holding ground was considered a victory.

I agree, it's time to get more done, and I am hoping behind the curtain of tweets and petty MSM attacks, there is some real work being done to remove the Deep State from power, to hold those who committed the numerous crimes of the Obama Administration accountable, to put their crooked butts in prison.

Jared is responsible for Trump's first win.  He was the one who walked into Trump's office at the tail end of the campaign and told him "the numbers actually show you can win in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania --- get back on the plane".

"What things?"

*Do I really have to re-post that long list?  He has accomplished more than any of the previous Presidents.

"Seem to me Trump wastes an unusual amount of time on petty BS when he should be talking seriously about the issues and outlining strategies for dealing with them."

*So you think PDJT should stop hitting at the arseholes who constantly attack him?  Sure.  He should just let them ride rough shod like W did.  LOL

"He has not taken this virus seriously and what he calls his "response" to the coronavirus has consisted of blaming China, mocking the virus itself and those daily briefings which he spent campaigning for re-election instead of providing meaningful information and reassurance to a nation in crisis. "

*I guess you forgot about the attacks against him in January because he stopped flights from China.  And yes, it is China's fault.  Covid is a bio-weapon.  Remember his constant statements that the best Covid treatment is Hydroxychloroquine - the drug that is now being controlled by deep state players?  Big Pharma will push
eugenicist Gate's 666 vaccine, the one he is trying to make mandatory.  Lots of $$$ to be made off the suffering of the peasants.

"And then there are those terrorists going around the country destroying monuments, burning, looting and committing violent acts against police and ordinary citizens.  Oh, Trump has made threats and I seem to recall the DOJ was going to investigate these terrorists.  But it seems to those of us non-supporters that it's all been so much hot air."

*Others have already addressed this nonsense.  Trump is #OrangeManBad because he adheres to the Constitution.
It is up to the states to ask him to intervene.  Are state's rights no longer important to you?  When they ask, his response is immediate.  The terrorists get routed and arrested.  He has also used an EO to mandate that toppling statues and destruction is criminal and subject to 10 years in prison.

"Plus we look at his first term -- all the promises unfulfilled and broken.  Trump and the Republicans  at one point had both houses of congress plus the presidency.    What did they accomplish exactly?  Nothing."

*LOL  Did you forget about #DeepState Rinos who refused to pass the necessary bills?  Paul Ryan?  The Globalist R swines who still will not bring legislation to the table?  All that is Trump's fault?  Oh, and he has kept a lot of his promises, despite having to battle Congress every step of the way. 
FINALLY we have a President who will build the wall and stop the invasion of our nation, stopping Human and drug traffic that so many said they would do and DID NOT DO.  They were in on the $$$.  No wonder they all become millionaires while "serving."

@Applewood

I agree. He enjoys giving the left strokes too much to quit,but he needs to start putting at least half of his focus on talking about his accomplishments or he might be in trouble.

Normally,this wouldn't be a problem because Biden would be out in public being the retard and sexual predator he is,but because of this fake "pandemic" his handlers have been able to mostly keep him from saying much in public.

You will never convince me the Dims worked hand-in-hand with the Chinese to release this virus into the US to stop campaigning. It's just too "convenient" to be accidential.

Trump could still win in a landslide if he were to adopt a 50/50 mix of discussing policy/accomplishments,and making the Dims lose what little minds they have.

He is NOT going to step down because as bad as he is,he is still the most presentable Dim they have.

I SUSPECT what is going to happen is the Dims are going to get mail in voting,and then steal the election. Once that has happened,Biden will step down due to medical problems before being sworn in,and the DNC will nominate someone they trust,Hillary Clinton,and it will be back to "business as usual" for the left.

We're also still waiting to see who Biden selects as VP --


It doesn't matter because the VP won't be nominated as the President.

And I seriously doubt it will be Manchelle because there is no way Hillary is going to have a VP that steals some of her thunder,and Manchelle would steal a LOT of it because it is black.

I am in 100 percent agreement with both statements,but Trump MUST start speaking about his actual political accomplishments as president on a daily basis,as well as his ridicule of the Dim leadership.

If he doesn't,he might just lose because most of the "unaffiliated voters" determine who wins,and these people are NOT Republican voters paying close attention to what Trump actually accomplishes. They know what they know about the candidates from what their teebees tell them.

Given that NO network tv station is even going to whisper anything positive about Trump,the ONLY way these people will know about his accomplishments is if Trump brags about them during his televised press conferences.

@Applewood

I agree. He enjoys giving the left strokes too much to quit, but he needs to start putting at least half of his focus on talking about his accomplishments or he might be in trouble.

Thing is, he doesn't have that many accomplishments to talk about.  What he could do is drive home the point that by restoring the Dems to power, not only will we get Obama Part II, complete with its draconian government regulation, job loss and such, but as an added bonus -- all the chit the Dems can't wait to thrust on us -- eg. Green New Deal, reparations, full-on government run health care, free stuff, increased illegal immigration, etc. etc. The campaign ads are alluding to this, but Trump should be talking about it in his rallies.

Quote
Normally,this wouldn't be a problem because Biden would be out in public being the retard and sexual predator he is, but because of this fake "pandemic" his handlers have been able to mostly keep him from saying much in public. 

Well, these days Biden is being portrayed as the prudent candidate because he's staying home and not putting his fans at risk with rallies. 

Quote
You will never convince me the Dims worked hand-in-hand with the Chinese to release this virus into the US to stop campaigning. It's just too "convenient" to be accidental. 

Won't comment on conspiracy theories, but I agree the Democrats are milking this pandemic for all it's worth.  They have been quite successful in instilling irrational fear in the populace that it seems nearly everyone I know wants to stay home all the time and won't step outside their front door.  When you can instill so much fear in people, they will give up anything -- their rights and freedoms -- for a sense of security.

Quote
Trump could still win in a landslide if he were to adopt a 50/50 mix of discussing policy/accomplishments, and making the Dims lose what little minds they have.

What I said above about what the Dems will do if they win.  He should also talk about what he hopes to accomplish in his second term and outline strategies for accomplishing his goals.  But along with that , he should remind voters that to get things done, they also have to elect Republicans in lockstep with the president.  If they vote for Democrats in the senate or elect the same old, same old lazy lump Republicans already in both houses of congress who have been promising the same stuff for at least ten years, but have yet to deliver, then nothing will be accomplished.

You forgot to add the $10 trillion in debt added under Trump - in just his first term - to his list of "accomplishments"...

That's over $30,000 of added debt for every man, woman and child in this country. A hell of a accomplishment. This is how great nations end.

Of course they are a message. Always.
'Polls' are a manufactured rudder meant to steer the public opinion and politicians in the direction the poll owner wants. The famous quote applies, "Polls do not reflect reality. The purpose of polls is to create reality."

Put another way ..

Polls don’t tell you what anyone thinks.

Polls tell you what someone wants you to think.

My gut tells me Trump is failing.  He is failing the American people at a time when their lives are being destroyed by government.  Does he honestly expect people to vote for him with this taking place?  People feel betrayed, and rightfully so.  It does not matter how long the list of things he has accomplished in the past 3.5 years, it only matters WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR ME NOW!!!

What is he doing?  Nothing I see right now regarding jobs.

Donald Trump promised in 2016 to end the H1-b Visa Program.  He said he would do it Day One of his presidency.  I have seen different numbers , but we are talking 500,000 to 1.5 million jobs taken away from USA citizens and given largely to folks from India for half the salary and no benefits.  THIS IS JUST WRONG.  He said he would remedy this, and he has done nothing.

After meeting with the power brokers in the tech industry, he decided to increase the H1-b Visa Program.  I tell you now, if he does not eliminate this program, and soon, he loses in November.  Biden has already proven he need not leave his basement to win.  He is not in his basement primarily because of the virus, he is there to limit his exposure for gaffs, and he is winning.

TRUMP MUST ELIMINATE THE H1-B VISA PROGRAM OR LOSE IN NOVEMBER.   It does not matter who the Dems run against him.  He is not proactively doing things to generate jobs, and the elimination of H1-b Visas goes a long way to serve the American people.

That was the message he delivered in 2016, but he is not doing that now.  He is failing the American people in favor of folks from India.  A lot of people I know in tech are NOT voting in November because of it.  A lot!!!

I know hundreds of folks adversely affected by the H1-b Visa Program.  Americans not working.  For most, they are lucky their spouse has a job.  You think these people that voted for him in 2016 will vote for him now?  Keep dreaming.  I know too many.  Most of them did not expect him to do something DAY ONE, but they did believe him when he said he would eliminate the program.  It was a huge thing in 2016 for many Americans, myself included.

He met with the power folks in tech and increased the numbers of H1-b Visas.  Unacceptable!!!

I tell you these tech folks are heavily concentrated in states that are in contention:  Florida, Michigan in particular.

He's failing because the Republicans are letting him fail.   They want things to go back to what they used to.

No, he is failing because he made this about populism instead of principles... And populism relies upon popularity. His optics (popularity) have been awful on COVID and the riots... so...

That's why he needs to be in our face about jobs.  There is not much he can do about the virus that is not being done, but he needs to focus on JOBS big time.  And I see nothing happening.  Nothing.
 
LBJ bailed when he realized he could not win in 1968.  This year is shaping up just like 1968.

Trump loses in November if he does not come alive and get literally in our face DAILY on JOBS!

He does not end the H1-b Visa Program, he loses in November.  In fact, if Biden comes out and say he will end it, he will win guaranteed.

@Applewood

I agree. He enjoys giving the left strokes too much to quit,but he needs to start putting at least half of his focus on talking about his accomplishments or he might be in trouble.

Normally,this wouldn't be a problem because Biden would be out in public being the retard and sexual predator he is,but because of this fake "pandemic" his handlers have been able to mostly keep him from saying much in public.

You will never convince me the Dims worked hand-in-hand with the Chinese to release this virus into the US to stop campaigning. It's just too "convenient" to be accidential.

Trump could still win in a landslide if he were to adopt a 50/50 mix of discussing policy/accomplishments,and making the Dims lose what little minds they have.

Absolutely!  Biden and Where's Hunter? have financial ties with the Chinese.  Yes, it was way too coincidental that when the Chinese virus hit, all of a sudden all of the candidates stepped down except for Biden -- go figure -- as other candidates had more delegates. 

Because of the left maneuvers so far  and their plot to take Trump down at all costs, I don't hold much hope for him winning.  The Never Trumpets have turned a blind eye to the corruption on the left and they'd rather vote for Biden and socialism.

LOL! Don't be ridiculous. IF it is a nefarious plot, it is world-wide, not limited to the US and Tumpy's politics. That liberals have taken advantage of it against Tumpy is incidental.

And what will end up painting Tump with it is HIM standing next to Fauci shutting down the entire nation... Over a bug with about twice the mortality as the common flu, if that.

I was with him when he was crying bullcrap, but he folded like a cheap lawn chair and became the central figure for the shutdown of the nation. He EARNED that one.

The funny/ironic part is most of those fools are really opposed to him because they consider him to "not be moral" because he has dumped wives and replaced them with younger versions,and had sex with women who weren't his wife.

So naturally,they will refuse to vote for Trump so the Party of Bubba and Biden,who are CLEARLY "more moral" can take control of the country. Some will probably even vote FOR Biden to try to make sure "Bad Orange Man" doesn't remain in office.

Not being a member of the leftist establishment was the appeal of Trump in the first place. And it is MORE clear now than it was in 2016 that the establishment is willing to pull out all the stops, legal and illegal, to defeat him. Have all those voters suddenly decided they prefer the establishment? I wouldn't think so.

The only thing that gives me pause is some of his base might perceive that he hasn't been forceful enough in opposing the deep state.

Not enough.  Not at all.  Look around.  This country is in chaos.  Anybody hoping for a new back to Apple Pie America under Trump should realize by now it hasn't happened.

Only because you view it as either or.  I won't settle for that incompetent Trump.  Its been a double whammy with COVID and Fauci.   Shutting down the entire country.  Standing there letting the guy have his liberal mouthpiece time.  Then the riots, and Trump does nothing.

I have been accuses of that wanting Socialism.  What do you think those spending bills were?  And Ivanka's Family leave?  Prison Reform letting dangerous criminals out on the streets.  Ignoring what is happening in liberal cities and states to make a point.  Well what happens when its too late to address?  Want to know what America can look like when nothing is done.  Take a look at Europe.

Everything a Conservative would not want has happened under Trump yet we still try to pretend he is the person we want for 4 more years.  I suggest he resign.  I don't like Pence lots, but I would vote for him.

This country is in manufactured chaos.
Manufactured in large part by the media.

Manufactured by professional agitators with ties to George Soros.

Manufactured by his Communist (ANTIFA and BLM) agitators.

Targeting excitable high profile urban area populations who have no compunction about looting and burning even their own neighborhoods for short term gain, and who have been cooped up under shutdown orders.

Aided and abetted by members of the Democrat Party in positions of power who called off police and let those cities burn.
Prisoners were released by the order of Governors, increasing the possibility of chaos.

The whole mess has its roots in godless Communists and is evil.

The CHinese made the virus.

THe CHinese released it, by accident or design.

The CHinese tried to cover it up, during which time it spread worldwide.

The WHO gave bad advice.

It was Trump who  urged caution, while Democrats said to party in the streets.

The media hyped the COVID mess, and censored people like Dr. Zelenko (whose simple and off the shelf regimen if followed at early onset might have save tens of thousands of lives), simply because Trump said it was a good treatment.

The Medical community rushed to prove Trump wrong (not the Doctor), giving lethal doses of Chloroquine to patients in Brazil as part of a 'study' (one they halted because of the Mortality rate) and pronouncing both drugs (different drugs) Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine as bad (My mother has taken Hydroxychloroquine for nearly 10 years with no ill effects, Chloroquine is something different).

This level of global lying with the promotion of death comes from one source and one source only.

With the current and impending investigations into the evil deeds of a worldwide network of powerful people, do you think for a moment that those people wouldn't sell their souls to the Devil a second time to stay out of prison?
They'd kill half of America and bury the Constitution, too, if they thought they would retain their power and wealth.
As evil as she is, Hillary is just the tip of that iceberg, and Biden is in on it, too, he just conceals it better.

I guarantee you I will do nothing to aid the Communists in their quest for power.
If it comes to that, I will pick up my best rifle and oppose them when the time comes.
For now I can cast a ballot against them and will do so.

Well, actually, reading his tweets and seeing/hearing him on tv -- I have the same problem.  Except when he's reading a prepared text, I often don't know what he's trying to say.  True, the media twists his words, but it could also be that they aren't sure what he means, so they have to interpret. 

Now I don't communicate well either, but then again, I don't have Trump's education.  I just thought he would be a clearer speaker and writer.  Guess not.

And about Katie Couric -- I used to like her, but after a while the constant perkiness became annoying.  Plus I've always thought that people who are overly bubbly, who smile too much, have something malevolent up their sleeve.  A personnel manager at one of my jobs was like that.  Always smiling -- while he was thinking of ways to stab you in the back.  Can't trust people like that.

That's about my take on the situation as well. Trump has upset the subtle Beltway detente of everyone having dirt on everyone else, and once someone starts dumping skeletons out of closets, there's no telling where that will end. No doubt, swamp critters on both sides of the aisle, the courts, and the bureaucracy are on edge.

In 2016, I voted for the most conservative 3rd party choice, of a person whose name I can't even remember.  2020?, that vote goes to Trump.  And guess what?  I'd bet a goodly sum that I am am not alone, and am just one of a multitude who realzes that 2020 boils down to a choice of whether we want this to be a socialist country earlier than later.  Add the fact of how the dims are basically endorsing the rioting and looting?  That choice to make is  just that easier.

The latest revelation that Biden wants to seize corporations basically and distribute ownership to the masses, or in other words, end capitalism, should wake everyone up to the fact they have gone full blown communist.  The totalitarian aspect comes when they grab not only your stock, but your guns and Bibles too, and with force.  That is right around the corner if America votes for the Democommies, or should we call them what they are...COMMUNISTS!!!!!!!!!

I have been asked, just not recently. When questions are phrased like "Do you think little children should be slaughtered on their playgrounds or everyone should have to give up their guns?" I ain't playing the false dichotomy game. THen they get an opinion they did not bargain for.

I did have one from the CDC (supposedly) fishing for who in my household had what vaccine. I asked why they didn't just get that data from the State. They said they couldn't even get the overall numbers because it would violate HIPAA.  "Oh", I said, "Let me get this straight. As a federal agency you're doing an end run around a Federal law by calling this a survey. You said I could decline to answer any questions I wanted to, right?" "Yes." "Okay, I'm declining to answer all of them. Have a nice day."

Yep. And I have been calling them Communists for a while. They are totalitarian wannabe followers of Karl Marx, and that makes the title correct. Allen West said some 78 to 81 members of the House of Representatives alone are Communists "Progressive Caucus".

They used to publish a list of their members who held elective office in this country that I regularly shared at TOS. Teh number you mention is very close IIRC @Smokin Joe . They have taken that down now but they are still very very active!

That's about my take on the situation as well. Trump has upset the subtle Beltway detente of everyone having dirt on everyone else, and once someone starts dumping skeletons out of closets, there's no telling where that will end. No doubt, swamp critters on both sides of the aisle, the courts, and the bureaucracy are on edge.
