Why GOP voters are so loyal to Trump

Republican primary voters are showing no signs of easing their support for former President Trump as their 2024 GOP presidential candidate.

Trump’s lead in the presumptive field of GOP presidential candidates has widened in most polling, even as he finds himself embroiled in high-profile legal battles and as the party grapples with a worse-than-expected midterm election.

Though the presidential debates and primaries are still months away, pollsters and even some anti-Trump Republicans point to the former president’s recent indictment and his no-holds-barred approach to his presumptive GOP rivals as being among the reasons some in the party are still leaning toward the former president.

“Donald Trump has conditioned … a pretty serious majority of the Republican base to believe that any legal critique of him, any external charge made against him is invalid and a product of the ‘deep state’ or a conspiracy of some kind to take him away from Republican voters,” said Rick Wilson, co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project.

Thankfully there are not enough Trump supporters to reelect Trump.

The US Senate once again BLOCKED Sen.
@RandPaul
(R-KY)'s effort to require audits and investigations of the TENS OF BILLIONS the US taxpayer has given to Ukraine.

This comes just ONE MONTH after the Pentagon's $6.2 BILLION "accounting error" re Ukrainian aid, yet the majority of both Democrats and Republicans still REFUSE to provide oversight.

As a reminder, just last year, the Senate passed a bill to hire 87,000 new IRS agents in order to deeply dig into the finances of everyday Americans.

Yet we can't audit the money being printed for Ukraine.

WHY DO YOU THINK CONGRESS WON'T ALLOW UKRAINIAN AID TO BE AUDITED
