Polling consistently shows that a large and perhaps unvanquishable bloc of Republican primary voters has a direct personal loyalty to Donald Trump that transcends any news cycle, policy issue, or ideological commitment, and indeed any new information or input whatsoever.

The Democrats have a different though not unrelated problem by which their voters don’t especially like Joe Biden, wish he weren’t running for reelection, and think that he either is now or will imminently be too enfeebled to faithfully execute the office — but they’re sure that they’ll vote for him in a general.
