^^ I think I agree
But I don't necessarily have a preference yet for any of them except to note each one could be asleep and be a better President than the current splat.
I have no doubt there's a disconnect between what politicians think people want vs more closely knowing what corporations want. The NRA is a prime example. If a majority of their members "want" more gun control but the NRA does not, two things strike me as interesting about that.
1) Why isn't the NRA being told what its members will want, and if they are, why isn't the NRA ignored?
2) Another question might be why people join an organization that doesn't actually fight for them but for itself.
3) What we know is that on Tuesday, Wayne LaPierre was telling Trump his voters would not like any regulations etc. Tuesday, he was right there working to shut it down and gaslighting the president.
Regarding the "how," I'd think it should be a relatively simple matter to get fairly hard poll numbers for NRA members and if they truly support saner laws, never cease to us that in advertising aimed at getting Republican leaders to realize it. What Republicans need is to break the leash the NRA has placed on them They need cover. We can provide.
