The Man With His Finger On America's Pulse

That just sets the stage: Let's go to the sports desk! I'm not sure that's gonna foment any more violence. Confusion maybe; but probably not violence. Our man on their side. When a man tells you who he is, believe him. Another proud graduate of the Mike Lindell School of Law. By ignoring every law and reality that supports it!
"Millions of Americans" is, frankly, Trumpian exaggeration. Even at that, "millions" could mean a city the size of Houston. Houston has yet to swing an election in Texas, much less in the country.  I'm back to Maggie Haberman's observations on the runoff election in Georgia.  I mean, "millions" are down with this? Really? Or understand what this is about? Well, that makes it make more sense. Right?

Trump spent almost 2 hours speaking to mouth breathers, some of whom elected the Arizona Senate.  And he couldn't get it covered by anybody except Newsmax.  So the people watching this are the people already looking for it.  If Trump is destroying the GOP, let him.
The vast majority of the electorate who would treat the GOP as a rabid dog and Trump as the lunatic he is?  The down ballot devastation would be particularly brutal.

I doubt he'd get 2 million votes next time, which would still be "millions” of supporters. Numbers aren't as simple as they're supposed to be.

  1. Oh, great. Now I'll have to have a favorite team, the Cleveland Guardians. I don't know if it's still true but there was a time Cleveland was known in library circles as a city that was entirely more supportive of its city library system than almost anywhere else. I don't suppose they'd have considered The Cleveland Librarians. That would do it for me.
