Fact Elements:

• The Republican candidate for president, Donald Trump, is seen as a flawed candidate.
• Surprising is that Trump’s chances of winning have not diminished much.  Reasons are many:

  • • The Contrast Between the Best and Worst of America and Why Does Anyone Support Trump’s GOP?

      We begin with the contrast between last week’s Democratic convention in Chicago which showed the best of America and the earlier Republican convention which displayed the worst of America and get an analysis of why anyone would support Trump’s GOP. Joining us is Dr. Allen Frances, a Professor Emeritus and former Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Duke University. He is the author of the award-winning international bestseller Saving Normal and the reference work Essentials of Psychiatric Diagnosis and his latest book is Twilight of American Sanity: A Psychiatrist Analyzes the Age of Trump, now out in an updated paperback version.

    • Propaganda by national news organizations that support Trump may be most significant.
      “A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that “stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market”.^[4][5] The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content.”
    • Reason two, why Trump remains popular, is that he taps into the dark side of our society by using racism, misogyny and anti immigrant rhetoric.
• The Republican Party appears to try cheating the national election process for 2024 to overcome having to support such a flawed candidate.

• “Trump has repeatedly refused to commit to accepting the election results, declining multiple times to do so during a 27 June debate.”

• “The former president and convicted felon’s cronies are making moves to undermine and even sabotage November’s election in Republicans’ favor. Several of them are working as election officials in key states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.”
