What percentage of Deplorables, i.e. Republicans would countenance Donald Trump shooting James Comey (Original Post) DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 OP

I chose 30-39% because that's his approval rating. lark Jun 2018 #1

His approval rating is in the low forties among all Americans. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2018 #3

87% amongst Rethugs atm per MSNBC Exotica Jun 2018 #4

Yeah, but I don't think 80% of Repugs really like him, and that 42% poll was a total outlier. lark Jun 2018 #5

The Trumpies I know are a mixed bag; most are brainwashed idiots, others are rabid Republicans Mr. Ected Jun 2018 #2

I'm thinking about half the zealots would take that next big step into the abyss. Chemisse Jun 2018 #6

That's his true base, the most ignorant, deplorable, racist, anti-woman, folks as well as the greedy oligarchs.

The next week it was back down to 38%. However, you do have a good point and I probably voted too low. I'd guess 50% of Repugs would be ok with drumpf killing someone who didn't try to fatally attack drumpf first.

I'd say 60% of the Deplorables are really deplorable. The rest are GOP bandwagoners who would draw the line at murder, straight up.

Brainwashing works better if it's gradual. Perhaps popping off a few homeless people would be a good start for Trump, then killing his way up the social ladder before doing in Comey.

If he did that, I'd go with 90 percent.
