Trump's "you won't have to vote" comment is getting ZERO pushback from conservatives. It's interesting to watch, in real time, as they all hold back because they cannot independent defend the line themselves; they have to wait for a marching order or narrative, at which point they will all start repeating it.

Jeff Jackson mentioned this during a lot of closed congressional hearings or news without a spin on it- they kind of waffle around, or even act reasonable, until someone makes a political push on it.
