    Yeah those commenters above you are insane to think he wouldn’t have won if the Dems fully backed him lol. We probably could have pulled some conservatives because his policies are so universally loved.

      I’m one of those commenters and here’s why I disagree: Americans tend to vote against their own interests. His policies are popular in isolation, but outside of a subset of the predominantly young, male, white college-educated demographic, he has never been able to associate himself with these policies and capture the rest of the public, especially those who actually vote.
