Focus Group Data Confirms MAGA Doesn't Care When Trump Says Stupid Things

A right wing PAC has been conducting focus groups to find out what Donald Trump can say to turn voters off. And, apparently, the answer is absolutely nothing. The groups confirmed that even when Trump says something that is either incoherently stupid or shockingly liberal, they still stand by him. That's not how politics work, but it is ABSOLUTELY how cults work, and these groups are confirming each day that they are part of a cult. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

A conservative political action committee called Win It Back, that has strong financial ties to the conservative group club for growth. Uh, recently put out a memo because this group win it Back is an anti-Trump conservative group. And what they've been doing is they've been trying to run attack ads against Donald Trump trying to get the Republicans to ditch him and go with a normal Republican, but in order to come up with what works best in their ads, they've been holding focus groups. So they're holding these focus groups and what they're doing is they're showing people these attacks, they're showing them clips of Donald Trump and like, okay, what, what, what do you not like about that? You know, he said some stupid things there. You saw that, right? And the group's like, yeah, we saw it. It was stupid. Uh, so you don't like that? No, we like it.

What? Yeah, we, yeah, we, we support everything he says. So, so there's nothing we could say to you that would make you not like that guy based on what he said? No, no, no. We're we, we like it. We're good with him. He's our guy. So now this group win it back. I'm sorry. This is so funny. But it is. So now they're like, what, what, what do we do? Like we've been holding focus groups and no matter what we show these people that he does, like if he says something anti-Semitic, if he says something that's crazy liberal, they're just like, yeah, we agree with that. Like there's nothing they've been able to show these people, no matter how stupid it is. That makes them say, well, I didn't like that,

Let me read you this. the political action committee called Win It Back has close ties to the Influe, uh, influential fiscally conservative group club for growth. It's already spent more than 4 million trying to lower Mr. Trump's support among Republican voters in Iowa and nearly 2 million more trying to damage him in South Carolina. Um, put in the memo dated Thursday and obtained by the New York Times the head of Win it backpack. David McIntosh acknowledges to donors that after extensive testing of more than 40 anti-Trump television ads, all attempts to undermine his conservative credentials on specific issues were ineffective. All say we got 40 ads. None of them worked. it continues.

Um, Macintosh says, quote, even when you show video to Republican primary voters with complete context of President Trump saying something otherwise objectionable to primary voters, they find a way to rationalize and dismiss it. Every traditional post-production ad attacking President Trump either backfired, or produce no impact on his ballot support favorability. This includes ads that primarily feature video of him saying liberal or stupid comments from his own mouth. I love it. Like this is my favorite thing ever, because they're like, all right, so here is Donald Trump saying the most liberal thing you could imagine, right? Like liberal liberal things on abortion. They pointed out, okay, this is, you don't agree with this, do you like No, no, no, we don't agree with it. Okay, good. So here's the ad. They watch the ad and it's like, okay, so now you don't support him, right?

Like, no, I do. Yeah, but what about that thing like you, you disagree with him politically. Yeah, but he doesn't mean that. No, no, no. He means it. He's being honest. Nah, he's not. Yes he is. No he is not.
