I feel the same about Trump. But when he was floating the idea of running for president, I had an exchange with relatives who live in Nevada. They are not political, but they brought up the subject and said they and their friends were excited about the prospect of Trump running. I laughed. Just an anecdote, but maybe they are reflective of the sway of a Trump endorsement in Nevada.
I heard the beginning, Trump endorsed and turned it over to Romney. To Trump’s credit he did not grandstand, at least at the start.
In hindsight this isn’t surprising bc Romney emphasizes making China play by the rules and that is Trump’s main theme.
