Soltis Anderson: Conservatives Have Stuck with Trump Because They Don’t Want to Admit They Made a Mistake

‘None of this should be surprising’

EXCERPT:

SOLTIS ANDERSON: "Yeah, again, none of this should be surprising. I think the reason why you have an awful lot of conservatives who nonetheless we’ve seen terrible behavior out of the President but stick by him is they think he is the means to the end, as was mentioned in the previous column. But also they voted for him, they support him. If all of a sudden they were to say, 'Wow, I made a mistake,' it’s very hard. People don’t like saying, 'I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I should have criticized this man more.' Asking people to sort of go and see that sort of blind faith that they had and that maybe it was wrong, this is a more flawed man than you bargained for, people don’t like making that admission. Hence the angry e-mails that folks like Jonah get."
