The TrumpSwampJab clearly is trending DOWN in popularity. And UP in liability. Trump is a politician who is a populist. So I expect at some point before the election he will try to blame others for his failure. He’s well practiced in that regard, so it might work.
The Don has a faction of support willing to ignore massive flaws - I get it, those votes are not in question. The Bushes never lost the core of the prior establishment vote either. But still fell when challenged by the new guard, Trump, who was not afraid to bullhorn the failures of our party’s once-popular old guard.
Today The Don is the establishment candidate casting the long shadow of American deaths misspent in a war against a hoax. And Ron is the new Don - if he wants it.
No, only if President Trump wants it. You are reading this wrong.
