Because Trump has never been about Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative.

That is what so many people on here fail to understand.
Hell, I used to be a Democrat! I still fundamentally do hold some liberal views especially on fair trade, social justice and foreign policy. I would still vote for a Democrat or Independent if they adopted policies that I thought were more about our nation and less about a globalist perspective.

Trump has been able to tap into that outsider lane. For all of his flaws and imperfections he has a way of connecting with people that is extremely rare in politics.

I didn't like Obama as President but Obama was a master at connecting. I recognize talent where I see it. Reagan had it. Obama had it. Nixon had it in some ways. Trump has IT. It's the IT factor.

You tend to forget the R party has been able to defeat Gore, Kerry and Hilary, but couldnt beat Bill Clinton and Obama. Biden has lead in every major poll and leads by 5 points in a Rassy poll. Many of the Rassy polls had Hilary trailing in them. But other media polls, she was leading, but not by 11
