    Come on, you weren’t talking about “her staff” when you said she was intensely disliked. The Republicans aren’t campaigning to her staff. The relevant population for a campaign is the general voting public. Which approve of her more than Biden, but he’s not considered to be intensely disliked (though lots of people, on both the left and the right, do dislike him intensely).

      No, I’m saying even the people who work directly for her do not like her. So what does that say about her election prospects?

        I mean I don’t give a crap one way or the other but by that metric trump has absolutely no chance in hell. I mean his entire damn staff hates him. Almost literally… By November 2020 91% of his top level staff had turned over.. And a ton of them weren’t fired, they resigned. But guess what? It doesn’t matter at all because it’s the voters that matter and not how their staff feels about them…

          Yeah but Trump’s base finds him irresistibly charismatic and Kamala is completely lacking in that department. They’re also probably hated by their staff for completely different reasons, not the least of which on Trump’s end being his lies and his need for unyielding loyalty, i.e. the exact mechanisms by which his base has come to support him so rabidly.
