Donald Trump’s Democratic opponents must have read Rich’s syndicated column on the phenomenon of “Trump nostalgia” overtaking the American electorate, because, as if on cue, they appear resolved to remind voters of all the events in the Trump era that drove them insane. An inadvertent and certainly undesirable consequence of that effort, however, compels Trump’s critics to descend back into the madness to which so many succumbed in the Trump era.
As Rich noted, the polling environment has provided political observers not just with evidence of Joe Biden’s unpopularity but of the fondness with which voters look back on the Trump years. The voting public remembers a good economy — at least, a better economy than the one over which Biden presides. They recall with affection the price stability of the Trump era. They have not forgotten a vastly more secure southern border. They believe Trump cared more “for people like” themselves than Biden does.
