Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger recently reported that a number of Democrats in swing/battleground elections are starting to sound very MAGA in their campaigning.
Biden’s just called half the country “garbage”. Hoo boy! I’ll see your deplorables and up it a notch.
Of course it seems to me it’s just saying the quiet part out loud. It seems quite obvious to me that half the country all but despises the other half, and vice versa. Not sure how to resolve it.
It may be more accurate to say that the adults around Trump were responsible for ensuring that desired policies were enacted. I doubt very much that there will be many people like that in a second Trump term.

Perfect timing on his part.

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of the notion that "adults" managed Trump may be projection.
Mick Mulvaney just either threw some shade or pulled back the curtain a bit on John Kelly.
"Kelly has always seen the role we shared, that of White House chief of staff, differently than I.
We both knew we were the only ones in the West Wing whose job it was to tell the president things he didn’t want to hear.
But the similarities ended there.
I saw the role as one that would enable the president to be as successful as possible in fulfilling the agenda that got him elected.
Kelly saw the job as that of a self-appointed overseer, charged with protecting the country against a president that those same people had elected.
I saw the role as the chief of the staff.
Kelly saw it as the chief of the president."

As to your doubt - there are a lot of adult-sounding people lining up to work for the Trump administration should he win.
