You have to give trump a measure of credit. I have never seen a person with the ability to get others to willingly sully their own life reputations the way he can. Take Elise Stefanic. If you listen to interviews when she was first elected she was totally normal. Even a rational moderate Republican. And it looked like she could have been a decent politician for her district. Maybe a rising star in the party. Yet at the moment that she went all in for Trump, she turned into a lying liar that lies in the most pathetic manner for Trump. It's as if they are always speaking to an audience of one. Why? Is it a thirst for power? Why do they have such fealty to a guy in such legal trouble?
It is a mystery to me.
trump has charisma. It's a very old story...otherwise good people finding purpose in following a charismatic leader. How do you think Hitler took power in one of the most civilized nations on Earth? Charisma. People just eat that stuff up.
