    It’s not rational, it’s based on feelings.

    You’re not dealing with rational fact based thinkers. You’re dealing with people who see him as a proven common type person who shoots from the hip.

    … and they don’t mean he’s common in that he’s poor. They see him as honest/common/like them BECAUSE he shoots off hit takes and says things other politicians wouldn’t.

    That’s why they love it qhen he says hlw crappy Detroit is IN Detroit. He’s done similar in several cities now, and they see this as proof he’s like them. They’re down, he’s down. They want to MAGA, he wants to MAGA.

    The thing that stopped him last time was all these deep state lawsuits.

    Again, these are not rational people.

      All that said, maybe it is a rational response to that Black Mirror episode about social credits.
