I think this is accurate - to a point, and that point is the people who already believe these things. If you watched the graphs on woefully biased Fox News' audience sampling, when Christie was going on about putting her in jail, the red bar - the Republican viewers - were all frantically tapping "I agree". The green bar - the Dems, were so against it that you couldn't see the green bar; it was off the bottom of the screen. And the "independents" or yellow bar was somewhere between "Meh?" and "Say What".... a C or D rating on A to F scale.
They're preaching to the choir. They hear it resonating with their fan base and mistake that for overall agreement. This is how they will come to their Karl-Rove-Storming-Into-The-Back-Room election night moment.
This is the week they were supposed to come up with some substance and all they've got is platitudes and pep rallies and have spent more than half their time on the NeverTrump revolt, Melanija's "Baseball Been Bery Good to Me" heartfelt story of arriving at JFK with just two Louis Vuitton bags and down to her last pair of Ferragamos, the plagiary, the cover-up and denial of the plagiary, Cruz's right uppercut to the 'nads, etc....
Donald will do everything. Except he has no plans to do anything other than campaign. If terrorists don't attack someplace by Saturday he has nothing to talk about all next week. He's waiting for things to happen and we've all seen his act and aren't buying it. Any relatively normal Republican, and I know that sounds like an oxymoron, should be leaving this week with a seven point lead. He'll be lucky if it's a draw, and the DNC follows right behind, so his temporary lead will be washed away.
Show of hands: How many are getting their news from news sources? Versus how many are waiting to hear what really went down by watching Colbert and the Daily Show? When your campaign is the entire opening monologue for scathing satirists, you're in deep poop.
