Jonathan Swan on Calls for Graham Platner’s Resignation: ‘People Who Try to Mimic Trump Often Fail’

EXCERPT:

SWAN: "Based on the way he comports himself, he does believe that. I think it‘s evidently true, people who try to mimic Trump or be mini Trumps often fail. You know, Donald Trump is a figure of such almost historic charisma as a mass appeal — you know, in terms of his mass appeal, his ability to create a visceral connection with his voters, that he managed to paper over all these divisions in the party in a way that I‘m not sure other politicians could get away with."
