In the case of Trump I find it even more bizarre. There's this entire cult built around him, other Republican leaders don't want to fall out of favour so they follow suit. But now everything is built around this man. The way the Republicans have structured this campaign it is impossible to see another candidate for them. But Trump is 78. He has vehemently opposed any form of exercise or diet during his life. A lot of what he says also points to a stark cognitive decline (I mean, electric boats and sharks, really?).
If Trump drops dead tomorrow it's hardly surprising, it's a miracle he made it to 78. So why go all in on this guy?

It was if they'd had the first black president so the first female president would be a nice follow up.
They forgot people actually had to vote for her.
