STOMPING ON REAGAN'S GRAVE
by Michael Liss
Sixteen. That was the percentage of respondents in a snap
CNN post-second debate poll who said that they had heard about Donald Trump's
"sex tape" and that it made them more likely to vote for him. 16
Percent. One in six voters surveyed, likely one in three (or more) of Trump
supporters. Here's another number--Eighty-Three. In a WSJ/NBC News Poll, again,
taken after the release of the tape, 83 percent of Republicans believe that the
party should back Trump through the election.
Perhaps that is just circling the wagons--a later Washington
Post/ABC News Poll showed the number of "mores" evaporating, but
still had 83% of Trump voters saying it made no difference to them--and they
were backed by a number of Evangelical leaders. A reasonable person might ask,
why? Why would anyone with a girlfriend or a wife or a daughter or a mother
(everyone has a mother) ignore the coarseness, to say nothing of any of the
other controversial and even inflammatory things he's said and done? Their
answer is that are with Trump, come hell or high water, and they aren't going
to let any pointy-headed, liberal MSM pollster (or sanctimonious Establishment
Republican) tell them otherwise. Trump is their guy, and there is nothing
further to discuss.
