This is why the left got away with destroying democracy: Because Trump was such a God-damned lying pathetic joke, nobody believes him on anything that mattered. It’s why he couldn’t fire Fauci, why he couldn’t end the lockdowns, why he hired Barr and Wray. He’s campaigns like a blithering idiot.
The reason he won in 2016 because the Democrats spent nothing in the swing states as the campaign was closing: Nothing in Pennsylvania, nothing in Michigan, nothing in Wisconsin. They underestimated the hatred for Hillary out there. She was the only candidate he could beat, and he was the only candidate who could lose to her.
Don’t kid yourselves folks: Biden didn’t even have to run a campaign against him in 2020.
Surprised you missed the fire of Type II TDS sycophants for speaking such blasphemy.
Trump and Hillary had historically high unfavorable ratings. Of the large subset of people who couldn't stand either of them, Trump won. That, along with the hardcore devout following that persists even to this day, allowed Trump to prevail.
Those same independent voters who were his margin of victory in 2016 have now abandoned him. His support among reliable Republican voters has softened considerably. He is a guaranteed loser in the general election.
