that tax cuts for the rich at the expense of essential services for everyone else is not popular with Americans–period. In any state of the union.
Therefore there’s no reason to toe the Trump line when campaigning in states that elected Trump in 2016, which was, politically speaking, a very long and very credulous time ago.
It’s interesting that the “mainstream” “news” media still acts as though people who believed in Trump a year ago are still going to believe in him no matter what.
