"
The return of Trump
," explains the
Washington Post
,
"reminded the Republican Party that it lives in the worst of all worlds: its leaders know in their hearts that they cannot win with Trump, but they also know that they cannot live without him and without his supporters
”.
In short, a real impasse, adds the daily "
even if his speech yesterday at the conservative conference will not"
trigger a national wave of nostalgia
", his party will be stuck with him for a long time to come
".
Analysis shared by the
New York Times
, which points out that "
although many Republicans were anxious to move on, Trump has frozen the ground for the time being
."
Proof of this is "
the overwhelming approval he received yesterday with this poll indicating that 55% of Conservatives want him to represent
,
even though 32% do not want him
".
Trump remains the darling of activists, "
a real adulation
", points out the
New York Times,
which reports the cries of "
we love you
" chanted yesterday at the conference by the crowd, while Trump asked if they had missed them.
