It's the fringe left and right that howl the loudest, but it's the moderate center that decides elections.

Exactly why Democrats shouldn't be entertaining the idea of a Crazy Bernie, Sleepy Joe, or Withering Warren up against him.

The moderates and conservatives (who thought in 2016 "let's give a business man and Washington outsider a chance") are becoming increasingly disgusted with Trump.

It was more like "Anybody but Hillary" for most. Simply because Obama was well liked, in spite of his incompetence.

Perhaps some have become disgusted with Trump and his antics, but the alternative is way more frightening to mainstream America.

Faith and freedoms: why evangelicals profess unwavering love for Trump

[...]

Evangelicals feel Trump has kept his covenant with them by nominating conservative judges to federal courts and to the supreme court; by tacitly supporting abortion bans; by supporting Christian universities and organizations that profess a moral objection to same-sex marriage or contraception; by supporting religious dispensations from anti-discrimination laws; by moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and other measures.

Meanwhile, Trump has addressed a central concern for white evangelicals that they are losing influence as a group and that the sun is setting on the United States they dream of – a nation that is white and Christian in its majority and in its essence.


They’ll look away from the moral indiscretion in order to get their political agenda in place… they want to reclaim, renew, restore what they believe was a Christian culture, a Christian America that has been lost,” said John Fea, a history professor at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and the author of Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump .. https://www.amazon.com/Believe-Me-Evangelical-Donald-Trump/dp/0802876412 .

"But his base is the radical right fringe." Evangelicals are big there. Or are they all of the radical right?
