On this beautiful but breezy morning along the Front Range, my son and I attended the second National No Kings protest. Here in Littleton, the crowd was larger and noisier than the first rally, back in June, and at least 2/3 of the passing vehicles honked their support.
Of course, Trump has minimized the significance of these demonstrations, despite his current approval rating of 37 percent (rather generous in my opinion). On the other hand, Our Dear Leader loves attention, good or bad.
But those Senators and House Members running for re-election next year are surely disturbed by the large number and size of the No Kings protests. Sticking with Trump may seal their own defeat, even in many Red States. Since their loyalty is based more on fear than on policies, we may begin to witness some defections over the coming months.
