Among his core Conservative party voters.
Die hard Cons have the amazing ability to claim to be Jesus lovin Christians - yet worship wealth and disdain the poor. They are against drugs like marijuana and don't have any problem with jailing a young person for 10 years for having a joint on them, as is the possible case in at least one State, but they are perfectly fine with getting smashed on booze and pills. they believe in the Garden of Eden and the commandment to take good care of it, yet they scoff at environmentalists and climate scientists, and have no problem cutting emission standards for big industries. They believe in the Great Peacemaker, but want to attack and kill before trying diplomacy. They hate socialist type universally used and funded medicare systems, but have no problem with their military being funded in that same centralized, government run socialist system.
......I just realized I could be here all night listing these....anyways, they are simply amazing ain't they? How they can see what they want and create their own bubbles. And if any person, reporter, anyone says anything damaging about their Con representative, then their reaction will have nothing to do with what those actions say about the character of that representative, but will be taken as a personal attack on they themselves, because that's the politician they, in their great wisdom, voted for. And its even possibly an attack on God himself as many are beholden to their Republican leaning right wing church leaders.
So they circle the wagons, firing shots at the liberal heathens riding in circles around them.
