36. The 60 Minutes interview will not decrease Trumps support with his base.

Mon Mar 26, 2018, 09:48 AM

Mar 2018

Trump’s major base is white evangelicals, who believe that women should be seen and not heard, should stay at home and not compete with men in the workplace, and should essentially be baby-making machines with no say in how many children they have. They may or may not believe Stormy Daniels, but it will not matter. As charlatans like Franklin Graham have said, that kind of thing is in Trump’s past and he is now a changed, God-fearing man. So long as he is helping them try to overturn Roe v. Wade and attacking minorities, they will support him. And face it, appearances matter and Stormy’s overly tight blouse and obvious breast augmentation would cause most evangelicals see her as a tramp and thus not to be believed. I hope this story continues to have impact, but I don’t think the infidelity part of it will. The part that may have an impact is the illegality of the $130,000 if it is seen as a campaign contribution.
