This allegation keeps popping up with the notion that if you repeat it ad infinitum you can somehow will it to be true. However nonsense multiplied is still nonsense. So let me let you into a little secret behind Trump’s appeal to the GOP voter.
Donald Trump is supported by the vast majority of Republicans as he champions policies that resonate with them. He also advances these policies with an enthusiasm that other GOP politicians can rarely match. It is as simple as that.
This is the same reason that Democratic voters rallied behind both Messrs. Clinton and Obama. I know….. It is shocking. Who would have thought? No need for the tin foil hat.
So what are these Trump policies?
- a tough stance against illegal immigration and other aspects of cross-border crime
- strong support for the Second Amendment Rights of Americans
- opposition to Late Term abortion and a pro-active stance in favor of the right to life
- a renegotiation of disadvantageous trade deals
- reduction of unnecessary regulation that stifle economic growth
- initiation of critical tax breaks that increase real take home income
- a pledge to revitalize hard hit US industries
- a commitment to enhance and refurbish the US military
- appointment of judges that adhere to an originalist position on the constitution
- necessary pushback against economic collectivism
- the establishment of a bridgehead in opposition to what Republicans voters see as the deleterious effects of the cultural wars
- rollback of ineffective Obama era foreign policy decisions regarding Syria and Iran.
All of these are highly valued by the majority of Republican voters and indeed most are championed by Trump’s opponents in the GOP itself. Yes there is an anti-Trump opposition here. There Are Plenty Of Anti-Trump Republicans. You Just Have To Know Where To Look.
Now this does not mean that Trump doesn’t make mistakes. Of course he does. I personally wish that he would be more conciliatory towards his opponents and give Twitter (as an attack medium) a break. Although in an era where journalistic integrity seems to be something of the past I can fully understand his rationale here.

Trump has his flaws, like so many political leaders, but he is also more transparent than most. This has the net effect of needlessly creating openings for attacks. His opponents have predictably seized on this.
Yes there is a hardcore minority that have elevated his being to a larger-than-life status but this is not unusual. Obama, Kennedy and FDR all tapped a similar vein. In fact it wasn’t so long ago that No. 44 was seen as a cult figure.
On the surface it seems that Trump’s hardcore base is pronounced. Perhaps it is a function of his populist origin or it may be a consequence of the realization that in the era of bland politicians he shines with a greater luminosity. Like him or hate him. Trump does have charisma and certainly offers a ‘Presence of Being’.
So ‘Orange-man-bad’ has appeal but why then are Republican voters - who claim to value integrity - not going after him with added gusto when he does err? Why do they consistently jump to his defense? GOP support for Trump shows no overt signs of cracking

For that you can blame the Democrats and their respective sycophants in the media.
Trump take down has been the mode of operation since day one following the 2016 election. We saw this with the giant post-election hissy fit, the actions of the intelligence organization elites, Russian collusion hysteria, the Stormy Daniels saga, the conjuring up of action involving the 25th Amendment and now the giant sequence of hearsays that is the Ukraine Impeachment ‘case’. How is any of this supposed to be bring Republicans around? If anything it is doing the opposite and strengthening resolve. The only aspect that is clear is that the Democratic political intent is not about discovering the truth. Instead it involves bringing down or weakening a GOP president ahead of the 2020 election.
GOP voters see through this and will not play ball with a party that has been disingenuous from the get-go.
