I think I am repeating an argument brought up previously in the Good Politics Bad Politics substack, but is it possible that the GOP is not led by the masses, but rather by mass media? That Trump retains his control because of all the positive cover he gets from talk radio and conservative networks, who back him because he gets them good ratings? Call it "The Fox and Friends Decide" hypothesis.
