Nugget from our national poll coming out tomorrow- only 45% of Trump voters believe Donald Trump Jr. had a meeting with Russians…
1:13 PM – 17 Jul 2017
And yet just as many believed Hillary Clinton ran a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor. Or was it on Mars? Anyway…
Such an interesting bit of reporting from Nick Confessore in NYTimes’ “Spotlight” today. He believes that most DC people miss the fact about Trump: the performance “is” the accomplishment, the deliverable, the policy win. He isn’t sure Trump realized this or if he was just lucky, but he’s the perfect example of how this works. And Nick posts that he finds most citizens are oblivious to how policy is constructed: how option A drives outcome B. For them politics is the POTUS on the TV. So warning them about losing health care, “our program will help you” isn’t necessarily effective.
