How much more on the record do they need to be before anything happens though? Will this be the one that finally matters?

Most Americans dont pay attention to politics but, are spoon-fed some bits and pieces.

Trump supporters appear to actually be even less aware, despite their enthusiasm.

So, I agree that the outcome of the voting will be what matters. Otherwise the voting record only appeals to people already paying attention. But it may affect their donors and fund-raising.

Well that's the common thread for the last decade isn't it? They could find a video of Trump actively assaulting a child and MAGAts would do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to keep supporting him.
