Democrats should watch a Trump MAGA rally. I saw portions of one yesterday at a hangar at some airport. There were 20,000 people there according to official estimates. The crowd was raucous, fired-up, clapping and screaming for each of Trump’s stump statements. I haven’t seen this kind of thing for a politician in midterms. This is one of many such rallys the president has attended in the last few months.
Frank Bruni:
“…Too many Democrats spend too much time trumpeting Clinton’s popular-vote victory, blaming the Russians or combing the shadows for anything that absolves them of error. They dismiss Trump as an accident, a freak or a fad. It’s consoling, sure. It’s also an invitation to his next inauguration…”
