This cope-centered argument was also not the problem for Trump’s opponents in 2016.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis makes his way through the Iowa State Fair on August 12. Back in August, the guy running a super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s bid for the 2024 Republican primarysaid
“That’s what you got to do,” he said. “You got to show up. Donald Trump’s not willing to show up. He’s missing-in-action right now. He doesn’t show up. When he does show up, he reads off the teleprompter, for 50 minutes. And then he gets back on the plane and goes home.”getting away with what you say is not putting in the work. I mean, he’s leading the polls.”
There are two problems with DeSantis’s argument here. The first is that, as Collins points out, there is no indication that Trump not “putting in the work” is actually hurting him. The second is that DeSantis’s argument about Trump’s name ID is wrong. That’s not why he’s leading the polls — just as it wasn’t why he was leading in the polls at this point in 2015.At the outset of that race, Trump was viewed very negatively by Republicans.
Only 9 percent say they don’t. McConnell, who has been the leader of the Senate Republican caucus for more than eight years, has nearly twice as many Republicans who don’t have a formulated opinion of him.In other words, Trump has a name ID advantage — but nearly every Republican also knows who DeSantis is. They just like him less than Trump.
