There's a pretty large market for people who mostly like Trump but side with Musk on balancing the budget and don't trust Repubs to get there.

- rsynnott 1y agoSee, this is the thing, I don't think there is. Like, maybe low single-digit percentages, but Trump is very good at getting his people to fall in line, and balancing the budget, for most Republicans, seems to be more a kind of symbolic creed than an actual goal. If one was serious about balancing the budget, why would one vote for Trump, who, remember, _already_ massively expanded the deficit in his first term?
