Also interesting in that POLITICO piece is how Trump voters - I've seen this many times - do what they can to *avoid having to see Trump say things*.
Think of that. His own political base actively avoids him, so he won't mess up what they prefer to believe. /1

When Trump voters say to me: "But you look down on us," I am not sure how to respond to that when I know that they are *intentionally avoiding their own candidate* so that they can argue with me about stuff that isn't true. Yes, I'm disdainful of that. How can I not be? /2
And that's why, despite how much it enrages Trump's opponents, I want him on TV 24/7, wall-to-wall. I don't want a single Trump supporter to be able to say "oh, I didn't bother watching that, so I didn't hear it." Make it so they can't avoid knowing what they're supporting. /3
Yes, the die-hards love Trump and will go to rallies with their "he can grab me by the p***y" shirts, but there are millions of other people who want to believe that supporting Trump is no big deal, because they've avoided *hearing* him. They shouldn't have that easy out. /4x
