I genuinely believe they just do whatever the TV tells them to do. If they ran Elmo non-stop on Fox he'd be the frontrunner

If that was the case, they would never have picked Trump in the first place.

Trump was on TV 30 weeks a year and promoted by NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and FoxNews as an elite businessman. Every single conservative TV personality during that time said “America should be run like a business “

They listened to the TV even better than you could imagine.

The TV told them, "do not vote for Trump", and yet they did. There is no way around that simple fact.

The TV told them for 12 straight years “Trump is the best businessman in the country,” and yet he wasn’t. There is no way around that simple fact.

The TV has never told anyone to do anything, that’s not how advertising works. It’s heavily implied which is different and Trump is easily the most implied president in American history.
