PoliticoThe culture wars aren't working for Donald Trump.
His law-and-order rhetoric isnt registering with suburban voters. One of his leading evangelical supporters, Jerry Falwell Jr., was just photographed with his zipper down. Immigration isn't provoking the response it did in 2016, and NASCAR has spurned the president.
Even an attempt by a New York Democrat to take down the National Rifle Association a lawsuit announced Thursday by state Attorney General Letitia James looks unlikely to juice Trump's reelection hopes.
America has changed, said Frank Luntz, the veteran Republican consultant and pollster. Every person who cares about the NRA is already voting for Trump. Suburban swing voters care about the right to own a gun, but they don't care about the NRA.

Red meat for his base. Third rail for Independents.

care about ending the US Mail System which they use more than others? Do they care about their Medicare and Social Security? I doubt that the NRA matters to them.
