Did these voters not see this all before? What was it that changed...
Like, I'm glad things are turning around but... what changed?
They didn’t care before because it was in their interest to support him. Now it’s not.
There are a few who truly paid the price of opposing him and I can at least respect that. Kinzinger, Cheney, for examples…not that I would agree with them on much, but they at least stood up to Trump when it mattered.
No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they "called" it.
