Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry if that didn't really come through in text form.
I was mocking the idea that the gop was proping up Trump rather than the other way around.
Sorry, online communication and quoting can be difficult on mobile sometimes.
I got what you meant, and I was agreeing with you and adding to your point, while laughing at the notion that the GOP carried him. That's just hilarious.
I'm fairly confident that had any other republican won the nomination for the 2016 election that Hillary would have won.
Trump came in and shook up the game. He smashed through the primaries and then got in the way of Hillary, who everyone thought was a shoo-in. Candidates that Trump endorses usually get a polling bump, and usually tend to win.
A Trump endorsement is one of the best things that could happen to your campaign if you're a republican. He's carrying them.
And I think it's due to his magic ability to deflect shit. I'm serious, too. You watch those old polls, he was the top of the race that entire time in the 2016 primaries. Most of those guys? All it takes is one slip up, one good attack, and they're out. Trump outlasted all of that and it never hurt him.
He went through 4 years of democrat shit flinging, and even with their cheating the 2020 election was razor thin. Even after two sham impeachments, he still polls well.
Somehow the shit that wrecks other politicians just bounces right off him.
