        Now that I think about it, many people see Trump as anti-establishment. Never mind that he did many establishment things anyway; but that initial image is imprinted on so many people that no endorsements from any former presidents-- all of whom are seen as establishments-- would not matter to them. “Clinton, Bush and Obama. You are all part of the establishments so it doesn’t matter to us MAGA whether y’all endorse Trump!”

          its always wild to me that folks see a dude who owns a skyscraper with his name on it and lives in the top 3 floors of it, and think, “yea thats my guy. Hes just like me frfr”

            Exactly, that’s what’s so wild to me. I speculate that it’s because he speaks so unintelligently and people find that relatable, regardless of everything else.

              Combine that with the fact that he is a cultureless tasteless cur which causes him to resonate with a lot of suburbanites and ya have nearly the entire reason.

          That’s what people aren’t getting about the whole “felon” thing falling short and not hurting his poll numbers. His voters don’t care, in their eye’s ALL politicians are corrupt by mere existence and he’s just the one being singled out unfairly.
