MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow suggested that the Republican base is enthusiastic about supporting Donald Trump’s strongman model, which promises an end to politics and contested elections.
She emphasized that Trump’s appeal lies in offering a leader who will act as a dictator, sidelining the Judiciary and Congress, and getting things done.
“On the Viktor Orbán thing, I think there is a very simple reason that Donald Trump is making that closing argument, in what could be the last contested primary,” explained Maddow.
“That is really what he is offering. This is a special sauce. Donald Trump is not leading the Republican Party field of candidates because of his youthful vigor or because of his policy preference, or because of his eloquence. This is what he is offering,” she continued.
“If you pick me, that’ll be the end of politics, and you won’t have to deal with politics anymore. You won’t have to deal with contested elections, you won’t have to deal with contests or divisions when it comes to power, you’ll have a strongman leader and I’ll just do what I want. And won’t that be a lot simpler? That’s what he’s offering. That strongman model is what the Republican base is enthused about,” claimed Maddow.
“That is something that sets him apart from every other Republican candidate. I think we are naive to thing he is tricking people into picking him and then surprise he will act like a dictator. What he is offering is strongman leadership, the end of politics, the end of elections, the sidelining or the domesticating of the Judiciary and Congress. He will be the man in charge and he will get it done. That’s what he is selling. That is what they are very eager to buy,” warned the host.
Maddow believes that this is what sets him apart from other Republican candidates.
