Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) expressed shock on Wednesday that Republican primary voters are standing by former President Donald Trump no matter what he does.
In taking stock of the current state of the 2024 Republican presidential race, McCaskill marveled that Trump didn’t even bother campaigning on July 4th this year and only sat at his Bedminster resort firing off obscene Truth Social posts attacking President Joe Biden and special counsel Jack Smith.
The reason he could get away with this, she argued, is that he has such a commanding lead over his prospective rivals that he doesn’t need to bother doing anything else.
Rather, she said, “He is much more comfortable at his very luxurious golf club with his thumbs on a device tweeting obscenities about the sitting president.”

She then pondered what this said about the GOP as a whole.
“Donald Trump is in a commanding position,” she said. “Think about that, Republican Party. You have a guy who says ‘F Biden’ on the Fourth of July and he’s your man. It is unbelievable.”
