"We got him!" cheered protesters, headlines. What did they get?​


What do these people imagine will happen now? Where do they believe Trump voters will go? Do they think the anger that drove his campaign in the first place will evaporate? Do they realize Trump surged ahead in all the battleground states during this trial? Donā€™t they see where this is headed?

No. Washington pols always see elections through a rearview mirror, imagining candidates create supporters, not vice versa. It comes from the belief that voters are sheep and have no beliefs beyond what their political betters instruct them to feel. Therefore, one controls them by controlling leaders. But Gene McCarthy didnā€™t surge in 1968 by convincing people to oppose the Vietnam war. Voters were there. Buchanan and Perot didnā€™t inspire bitterness about the loss of manufacturing jobs, the unemployed did, and Bernie Sanders in 2016 didnā€™t invent post-bailout blue frustration. Voters lead the way. Politicians arrive to take advantage. Itā€™s always how it works.

The Maddows and Psakis really believe racking up a felony conviction for Trump somehow ends the story, or marks the ā€œbeginning of the end,ā€ as the Guardianā€™s man-on-the-street put it. But guaranteed, it will just piss people off more.


All very true. Itā€™s not about liking Trump. Itā€™s about Trump being anti-swamp and representing the majority of Americans who are fed up with the swamp. The only disappointment is why arenā€™t there more leading the way representing the same anti-swamp platform.
