Jonathan Martin: Trump’s Political Appeal Has Always Been Based upon a Personal and Cultural Connection

EXCERPT:

MARTIN: “The base is largely deferring to whatever Trump wants, because the project is personal, not policy-oriented. I mean, Trump’s — Trump’s political appeal has always been based upon a personal and cultural connection rather than any sort of set of an ideological project or an agenda. And so they — they’re for the Iran war — peace for the Iran war. Now, there are challenges at the margins because there are some people who said, no, no, I actually did believe when you said he didn’t want to start foreign wars.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Right.”
MARTIN: “But the bulk of his voters are just for him because they’re against the left and he’s a middle finger against the left. So I don’t think he’s going to lose his base. I think he’s stronger than ever.”
