57% of DL readers think that his support is based on a searing hatred for Hillary Clinton. I don’t happen to buy that. While there are a great many Republicans who are viscerally impulsive slaves to their lizard brain. Copeland doesn’t strike me as that type of Republican. There is something else at work keeping Charlie bound to the White Nationalist GOP that Trump is in the process of birthing.
It is tempting to think that it is a pure numbers game for Copeland. That he knows that X% of the DEGOP faithful are White Nationalists, so he is simply a spineless trailing indicator, rather than a leading indicator. But Bonini’s absolute trouncing of Lafferty puts the lie to that theory.
Lafferty is as close to a pure Trump White Nationalist candidate as we have seen in Delaware. I had thought that she might give Bonini a bit of a tussle in the GOP primary for Governor, but she had her ass flat out handed to her. So the Trumpian White Nationalist percentage of the DEGOP must not be that large after all. I mean, it wasn’t Bonini’s charism which carried the day.
So what is it? I’m seriously asking. With everything we now know, how and why can Charlie Copeland still “fully support” Donald Trump for President?
