You have a bunch of Freepers who’ve said that exact thing. We voted for him because of his policies, but wish he’d shut his yapper and quit shooting himself in the foot. So, we’d show up in polls as supporting him hate the democratic alternative, but we still wish he’d shut his yapper.
Every successful national level politician has his fan club. Obama was just as bombastic as Trump in his way and Democrats cheered him on. The real problem here is GOP voters who can’t see the forest through the trees and are easily manipulated by those that oppose the MAGA agenda.
The MAGA agenda includes Oz. Pro LGBTQ and child pro-trans. Others are new Rino’s replacing old Rino’s. Explain that because once you go there, you cannot take that ground back. It is folks like you driving us leftward off a cliff.
Blaming voters because Trump says dumb stuff that alienates them isn't going to gain votes.
Look, you can't fairly blame this all on the MSM. Most of the Republicans I know don't trust the MSM, and dismiss their attacks on Trump as biased. But that doesn't mean they can't listen to his statements for themselves, using their own judgment, and determine that they were ill-considered and counterproductive.
I know a lot of people who were very strong Trump supporters who are just getting tired of him picking needless fights. Now, those people would still vote for him in 2024 because they so dislike the alternative. They're not the problem, but they are the canary in the coal mine. Because if he is annoying even those dedicated Republicans, then what is happening to all those more middle of the road, swing voterS?
