MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill expressed her thoughts on the supporters and rallygoers of former President Donald Trump during an episode of “Deadline.” McCaskill pointed out that there are two categories of people who demonstrate loyalty to Trump – the cowardly Republicans who publicly support him despite their private disdain for him, and the true believers who genuinely support him.
Host Nicolle Wallace questioned McCaskill on who falls into the latter category, to which McCaskill identified the people who attend Trump’s rallies. She estimated that this group comprises more than 30% of the GOP and around 25% of the country. McCaskill criticized their belief in Trump as a successful businessman, arguing that he has a history of financial struggles.
Overall, McCaskill highlighted the strange dynamics at play among Trump’s supporters, suggesting that their loyalty is based on misguided perceptions rather than reality.
