I'm not sure if it is a hypnotic power, but a desperate try by the former Tea Party to find a non establishment person to fall in love with. I used to approve that the Republicans were more ready to reject their establishment than the Democrats, but they fell in love with first Palin then Trump, both in their own ways seriously flawed. There seemed to be no real viable alternative.
That, and Trump had a friend who had a bunch of canned scandals ready to go. As soon as someone started to look good in the Republican primaries, the scandal that would take that person down would just happen to get released.
This time around, Trump is stuck with his record, and Biden is a hard person to hit with a scandal. Hopefully, that will be enough.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
