He also complained that his comments to a gathering of Christians last month—during which he told attendees they wouldn’t “have to vote again”—were taken out of context.
Maybe it would have meant a win for the GOP, maybe it wouldn’t. There are a lot of people in the party kissing his ass because to not is near party political suicide at this point. They know that if they can get his endorsement it almost guarentees a win. Just putting “maga candidate” on their flyers/signs gives them an advantage because maga will vote maga 100% of the time.
How many different gop politicians had bad things to say about him on twitch and then once he was elected did a 180 and had nothing but good things to say?
The difference is that people like Haley, Cruz, Greene, Graham, and Gaetz don’t have the same accessable idiot charisma with a career of simple braindead tv shows and 40 years of pushing their names consistently into the public discourse like trump does.
They can’t just poorly string together a line of nonsense words and phrases like trump can and expect people to listen lihe they do for trump.
Your 70/80-something year old grandparents aren’t going to give away their life savings willingly like they do for trump. They aren’t going to hang banners with the heads of those other politicians and muscular gon-toting bodies of 80s combat action stars like they do for the wrinkly, droopy, orange, wig and diaper wearing old man trump.
He is an ideal for them. A greedy “rich” powerful no-bs get-things-done businessman (or woman) that at one time they all knew they would be if it wasn’t for that one thing out of their control that held them back. And the fact that he (and they) are in the tail end of their twilight years and trump is still out there crushing it in a world where the elderly are tossed out and forgotten or a burden on their families gives them false hope that he will speak for them and give them the dignified end they think they deserve.
The world passed them by long ago and trump is that last thread back to when they were young and relevant. Cut that thread and with it goes the last bit of hope they have to be remembered when they’re gone.
