Ding, Dong, the Witch ... Still Leads the Polls

What do these people imagine will happen now? Where do they believe Trump voters will go? Do they think the anger that drove his campaign in the first place will evaporate? Do they realize Trump surged ahead in all the battleground states during this trial? Don’t the see where this is headed?

No. Washington pols always see elections through a rearview mirror, imagining candidates create supporters, not vice versa. It comes from the belief that voters are sheep and have no beliefs beyond what their political betters instruct them to feel. Therefore, one controls them by controlling leaders.

It's a great essay from Taibbi. who's not even a Trump supporter but has a clear vision of what's happening in the electorate. The progressive elite have departed reality in that sense, he argues. That's probably because they exist within their own rarified bubble, their Elysium, to borrow from Hollywood, and never bother to condescend to the hoi polloi enough to see what they actually think.
