Trump has set a frenetic pace in holding rallies around the country. He firmly believes that he is his own best messenger, but will it work as a strategy? There is some evidence that it could boost his turnout by as much as 6%.

Did you see that defense on day one of the impeachment trial? You try explaining that ineffective hot mess. This time we address the role of cognitive dissonance. Pray that I don’t have to explain the role of the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s narcissism in it, that’ll be a mini dissertation.
