Yeah those commenters above you are insane to think he wouldn’t have won if the Dems fully backed him lol. We probably could have pulled some conservatives because his policies are so universally loved.
I’m one of those commenters and here’s why I disagree: Americans tend to vote against their own interests.

He was never anything other than a DNC sheepdog to keep disenfranchised Democrat voters rounded up and trapped in the party.
