Trump cannot beat ANY Dem candidate at this point, even Biden. That would require Dem's crossing over and that will not happen, whereas there are multitudes of Repub's like me who will vote for the latest Dem. if it is the devil himself vs. ever voting for Trump.
I disagree 100% about him having the GOP by the balls. The repub's DO NOT need to court his fanclub because his fanclub will never vote anything but Republican. If you're blind enough to follow Trump, then you are a straight ticket Republican. Can you imagine Trumpettes crossing lines and voting Democrat if Trump is not the candidate? That is entirely laughable. I could see some of them not voting at all because of his destruction of trust in the system, but they aren;t going to be votes for a Democrat, that's for damn sure.
Much of his fan club, which is still a big part of Republicans, won't vote if Trump isn't involved. At least that is what the Republican politicians are afraid of. Their vitriol drives their agendas and news coverage. Where would current Republicans be without their very loud made-up culture wars dominating the news? As long as they can talk about societal issues that push their base to vote, these politicians don't have to come up with actual ideas to address the economy, healthcare, housing, environment, and other real issues concerning Americans
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
