Whose fault is that, though? I mean, I was willing to cut the guy some slack when he ran in 2016, thinking that he'd learn the ropes, improve his communication discipline, and stop "expressing himself badly" and handing ammo to his critics.
But that never happened. It's now nearly 2023, he had four full years in office, and he still expresses himself badly. And politics being what it is, of course his opponents are going to try to milk every thing they can out of everyone one of those statements. People running for office obviously know that is going to happen, so they work on eliminating those gaffes so their opponents have less ammo.
But Trump either hasn't tried, or can't help himself.
So this is the dilemma. They rather openly steal an election. Trump expresses himself badly. Biden is a usurper. Trump expresses himself badly.
A GOP that should be outraged instead sits silent, hoping that with Trump out of the way maybe they can slip into the White House. Remember how after 2020 they kept saying loudly that we’re really going to get them in 2022… and now we’re really going to get them in 2024. As if DNC won’t simply replay the same tactics again and again ad infinitum…
