So it’s been a bit since Trump tentatively bit on the cookie the Democrats offered over DACA, and how’s Ann Coulter’s attack going?
So far, nothing ascertainable. I’d say if this rolling 3 day average poll doesn’t start showing results soon, we’ll have to deem Counter’s attack to be an utter failure. That would imply that Trump’s followers don’t necessarily support him for the positions he articulated in the campaign, but for his judgment calls.
And, ya know, that is how this is all supposed to work. The alternative of everyone having their hands on the steering wheel has never appealed to me, since most of the electorate is going to be ill-informed on a randomly selected issue, no matter how important; the idea behind electing representatives to a Congress, and for that matter a President, is that they’ll have the time and, one would hope, the perspicacity to make wise decisions.
So the sad part here isn’t that they’re backing their man even when he changes course, but that they picked a lying, uninformed, incurious, narcissistic, unsuccessful, boastful, vindictive and emotionally immature man in the first place.
I can’t decide if I’m pleased that Coulter, so far, appears to be failing, or dismayed that Trump’s support level, scandalously low as it is, remains this high. It certainly brings doubts as to the ability of large masses of mankind to govern itself with any system at all.
