It does seem he is winning them over a bit. I’ve always maintained that the resistance to Trump is due to a lot of lies, mud, smears, and resentment over his win. People can say a lot about him, but nobody would have said the things they say now back in 2015. He just wasn’t associated as a racist, sexist, xenophobe etc...
Maybe he can soften some of this territory on the other side of the aisle. He will need to do it a bit of it to win again.
Pelosi is on the hot seat. Her own party is full of crazy socialists.
