I think this argument is exactly why the shine is off trump.
It’s hard to be an ‘outsider’ when you in fact were the boss of the entire ‘inside’.
His die hard supports will still claim he is, but the middle voters see him as another politician…
Which brings to mind another point - perhaps even more pertinant.
The flavor of his rants since leaving office is all about grievances and inside baseball politcal stuff…the election, Mitch and his wife, brags about his endorsement record, etc…
Where are the rants about things that affect americans day to day?
At that time and this…I despise politicians. As a reminder that I said at the time, Trump was my personal suppository that I was shoving up the anus of the US called…DC. My bias is for the good of all…not one side or the other.
In 2016 his last gig was being a game show host. He got to shape his image, be the big shot and show the country this fun, bombastic, decisive version of himself. And that image rolled right along with him on the campaign trail.
That image what what we knew. It was who he was.
Now, his last job was POTUS. Whatever you think of his time in office, being potus is not at all like being a game show host in terms of controlling your image. Plus, let’s just be honest for a second- he didn’t know what he was doing. He couldn’t be decisive. He just couldn’t.
So now, that’s the image rolling along with him.
And ultimately, that image is a loser based on the 2020 results. So it’s just not that much fun.
There is no way that 45 would start a third party and risk handing the presidency over to the Democratic Socialists for another four years. He loves America too much to put himself before the grass roots patriots.
IOW…if you want to win, you have to cheat better than your opponent. It should be mandated, all votes are done in person, with identification proving you are who you say you are. If you have a doctor’s excuse based on medical reasons or you’ll be out of the country, these would be accepted exceptions. Our elections need to be more guarded to insure fraud is not present…PERIOD and all of us should be united in demanding this election integrity…unless YOU are a part of the problem?
