As I’ve noted before, Trump’s greatest accomplishment has been to convince virtually everyone in the GOP that he is all that stands between them and the hellscape of socialism and political correctness. Republican campaign ads bear this out. Every single ad for a GOP candidate that I have seen promises unconditional support for Trump. Most contain footage of riots, looting, and a crazed-looking AOC. Some involve guns and Christianity. Trump would approve.
But what about the electorate? What if the voters have looked around and decided Trump’s blazing mouth isn’t actually keeping them safe from the virus, the Chinese, and a recession? What if they see him for what he is—a man on golf cart?
We’ll see.
