With the start of the baseball season not far off, you might say CNN chief national correspondent John King is batting .000
CNN sent King out to Colorado's swing 8th congressional district -- a new district that stretches from the northern Denver suburbs up to Greeley -- to interview Trump voters just one month into his term. No doubt the network's hope was to find quickly disillusioned Trump voters who, if they had to do it again, would not have voted for him.
The segment aired clips of interviews with four voters -- and King struck out every time.
The first three voters stated, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, their continuing support for Trump. One, when asked about the apparent chaos, said "I voted for that. I love it."
The fourth expressed misgivings about tariffs, executive orders, and the peripatetic Musk. He didn't explicitly say whether he continued to support Trump. But it's fair to assume that had he told King that he regretted his vote for Trump, CNN would have highlighted his change of heart.
Maybe it's too early to go searching for the pendulum swinging back to the Democrats. No voter should expect instant results on inflation or immigration. These voters are patient.
Like the tattoo says, CNN: NO REGERTS!

Not entirely unfair. Except that there are millions of Americans who not only like the substance, but love Trump's style!
