12. He's a candidate for the same reasons he was a candidate in 2016 and 2020

Nov 4

Straight-ticket partisan voters will vote for any R over any D, just like most of us would vote for any D over any R.

Generational Republican voters for whom it's ingrained behavior.

Voters who dislike him personally but know he's the only option to push an extreme right agenda.

MAGA and others who agree with his agenda, share his abhorrent beliefs, and/or flock to him in cult-like fashion.

People who think he'll be better for them financially - tax cuts, etc.

His behavior is irrelevant to many, as difficult as that may be to believe. Agenda rules, for many people.
