Okay, but why do we care about polls as much now? Haven’t they been spectacularly wrong for the past few election cycles? Not all, but I definitely feel like the overall accuracy and reliability of most national and state polling has been exceptionally poor.

In any case, I’m not at all surprised that his supporters aren’t bothered by the indictments. It’s a cult. Like, actually.

    I have no expectations that any of the current goings on this would sway Republican primary voters one way or another. They’re already quite set in their opinions and maximally engaged such that negative information only makes them gird their loins and further harden their opinions.

    Some pundits insist that our Republican leaders will slowly back away until the trickle becomes a flood, but I don’t really see that happening with the base until Fox, OAN, and Newsmax back of. And honestly if one does then they’ll just lose ratings to whichever outlet doesn’t.
