How did it not go well? The article just details how people are defending his record and beliefs but shows no repercussions nor is it "not going well" for his defenders. He is second in line for the presidency with insane beliefs and theocratic tendencies. Sure seems to be going just fine for him, unfortunately for us.

Maybe it's "not going well," because the majority of the public aren't buying their shit? Seems to kind of ring hollow when they have the power to both bring bills to the floor and vote on them.

If you have to guess what the title means after reading the article, it’s a pretty bad title.

I would love for that to be true, but where’s the evidence? I skimmed the article but didn’t see any mention of public disapproval.

Oh, I wasn't talking about the article. It's an opinion piece, so I feel justified sharing mine.
