Trump is Inspiring a Cult of Personality Election



Republicans are running for Senate to support Trump and his ideas.

They are not running to further their own goal, or to further their own ideology, or their party's platform, they are running to support a leader.

Joe Arpaio, an Arizona sheriff pardoned of his conviction for criminal contempt of court after he refused to stop race-based policing by President Trump, is running for Senate in Arizona.

He stated a reason for his run as to, "support the agenda and policies of President Donald Trump".

 Even when candidates are running with policy ideas, they are giving credit and those policy ideas to Trump.

Danny Tarkanian is running in the primary elections for Senate in Nevada. He said of his run, "I am a conservative Republican who supports the policies of President Trump to repeal Obamacare and end illegal immigration. I will continue to support President Trump's policies that have led to a 20 percent increase in the stock market in just six months."

Essentially, the veracity of ideas are validated because they come from the leader. This is voting to support a leader, not citizens, or ideas. It is nothing less than cult of personality elections.
