Don’t waste your breath trying to change Trumpists’ minds. Just vote.

If Democrats are to have any hope of defeating President Trump on Election Day, they should not waste time trying to persuade his supporters to turn their backs on him. It’s simply not going to happen.

They are going to be with him down the line, no matter what.

A Monmouth University poll in November found that 62 percent of Trump supporters said they could not think of “anything that Trump could do, or fail to do, in his term as president that would make [them] disapprove of the job he is doing.” There’s more. Last year’s poll result was a 12-point increase from the last time the question was asked, in January 2018. Trump’s fans today are more, not less, entrenched.
