Even former Trump campaigners agree that Morgan, who resembles the President, would be a tough challenge.
These upcoming midterms will answer many important questions:
Does celebrity matter more than policy?
Also, if Pres. Trump endorses any Republican over his Florida counterpart, would his supporters care?
Finally, does Trump’s popularity extend to Republicans as a whole, or will populism win out against conservatism?
Gov. Rick Scott certainly didn’t win his elections due to “rock-star” appeal, but his message did catch on. “Jobs, jobs, JOBS!” is hard to forget.
Working families, young voters, and Hispanics all heard and understood Scott’s pro-growth platform. Could Morgan tap into the same fervor with a message of “Screw the politicians – legal weed and higher wages for everyone!”?
2018 is coming, and the answers with it.
