is going to be the nominee. And the media are freaking out about it, which is why maybe they should

have spent like five seconds asking him, I don't know, sometime over the past 80 years about his

viewpoints. That's a long time. The man's been in politics since Richard Nixon was president. And no one has ever asked him, like a simple question. You're all for nationalization of industry. You love Cuba. You like Venezuela. Nicaragua. You like them. You honeymooned in the USSR. What's your deal, man? Like, nope, no, no questions asked. No questions asked. He was just kind of a

box, because he said so many crazy things, because of the grabbing the P-word tape, because

of all of that, that he would significantly underperform other Republican candidates for

president. Instead, he performed

pretty much directly in line with Bush, Circa 2000, 2004, Mitt Romney, circa 2012. The only candidate

who wildly underperformed was John McCain, and that was because Barack Obama wildly

overperformed. But in terms of both absolute vote count and in terms of percentage in particular

states,

he performed within like a point or two of Mitt Romney in virtually every state did Donald

Trump. And people were asking why. And the answer is because so much of the Trump vote and

so much of the Romney vote was an anti-left vote. And so there was this very solid core of
