re: #206 Big Beautiful Door

That would’ve earned him a dressing down on Twitter. He has to stay on the good side of the white nationalist Trump base to earn their support for his 2020 or 2024 presidential run.

I still wonder how big that base truly is. According to wikipedia, Trump only got 44% of the primary vote, and my guess is that number was bumped up from late primaries where the writing was on the wall and only a token opposition remained. I mean, if the early primaries only had 4-5 candidates instead of 15, would it have turned out differently?

That said, my point was more about how someone in the (vice-)president’s position should be acting. I don’t expect that kind of action from this group because they are morons, but also because they are tone deaf to anything other than the 28% that will support them no matter what.
