The scientifically literate, women, minorities, aging, and civil libertarians see nothing there. So it's the plutocrats and their wannabees, and the people they can hoodwink and scare that will get their votes.

And if they don't pull some dirty shit, they have no chance. As an Orwellian, I fear their power, because if they gain control they will institutionalize it. Their lies will become official "truths."
