Rove's handing out unsolicited advice to Trump in the WSJ, as if Trump would give a f*ck or ever do anything about it

I'm not posting the link or the content because it's Rove.

But he's basically saying what we already know...Trump's "affordability" stubbornness isn't registering with voters who KNOW how much they're paying for EVERYTHING, and it's not just the fact that he refuses to have sympathy / empathy / any level of understanding or compassion for what people are going through. It's the fact that he's INSULTING THESE PEOPLE in the process.

Like I said, this doesn't make Rove a genius, because we already know all of this.

But the appeal in his article was to REPUBLICANS who could LOSE in the MIDTERMS, an "are you paying attention to this," and YES...they ARE. They are just TERRIFIED of TRUMP and won't SAY or DO anything that might anger him and threaten them with a primary challenger the next time they're up for re-election.

His psychopathic, malignant narcissistic response isn't just insulting people with his assertions of things that are the opposite of reality

He is berating people for not giving him the adoration and gratitude he believes they owe him.

I'm not sure what emotions that sort of insanity provokes in the average American, but I'm pretty sure it goes way beyond feeling insulted. Something between shock at the level of insanity and a giant go fuck yourself you deluded bastard.

He cannot "turn around" his plummeting numbers. When people that supported him see the light of reality -- when they start seeing what this man and his Christian Nationalist backers and sycophants are -- there is no unseeing it
