Ezra Klein Pinpoints The One Thing ‘Trumpist Republicans’ Have Found to Win Elections That’s More Important Than Money

‘Money is very powerful when there’s not much attention’

(Via Mediaite)

EXCERPT:

KLEIN: “Money is very powerful when there’s not much attention. But Donald Trump doesn’t control Republican primaries with money, he controls them with attention. And I keep having to write about Musk and I keep saying he’s the richest man in the world, but that’s actually not what matters about him right now. It’s just how he managed to get the attention and become the character and the wielder of all this attention. And that’s a changeover I think Trumpist Republicans have made and Democrats haven’t. Democrats are still thinking about money as the fundamental substance of politics.”
