David Frum: “If anything, the latest Trump scandal has strengthened Trump’s hold, not only on his core support, but on the broader GOP. A friend tightly connected to major GOP donors wrote me over the weekend about this.”
“My friend’s observation: ‘Among the Republicans I know and have polled, a majority of them were for DeSantis and now all for Trump, almost no matter what comes out. Maybe that doesn’t hold, but maybe it shockingly does. I don’t see in fact how anyone other than Liz Cheney can even announce against Trump much less defeat him. It’s just pointless. Unless all charges are dropped, in which case Trump looks vindicated.'”
“This political reality clarifies many mysteries, including why Gov. DeSantis has been so outspoken on Trump’s behalf.”
