PA Swing Voters Tell CNN They Would Still Vote For Trump If He Shot Someone:'You'd Have to Know Why'

[kpete]

The last question in the segment was put to Crystal, who was the most ardently pro-Trump. Camerota asked “Crystal, is there anything he could do that would make you not vote for him?”

Crystal replied “No.”

Camerota then cited an infamous hypothetical scenario once proposed by Trump during the 2016 election, asking “If he shot someone on 5th avenue, would you vote for him?”

Another (unidentified) panelist interjected: “You’d have to know why he shot him.” Crystal agreed, saying, “Yeah, why did he shoot him?”

This segment not only reveals rampantly chauvinistic support for President Trump, but also a cautionary note to pedestrians on Fifth Avenue upon the president’s next visit to New York City.

1. Swing voter my ass

5. I hate these election year media interviews with groups of "undecided" or "swing" voters

Voters who say they haven't made up their minds yet, claiming they can still be swayed one way or the other, are liars. They're usually rightwingers who are too dumb or embarrassed to discuss their extremism in public.

9. There are very few actual swing voters, but we're led to believe they're the difference...

...between winning and losing. Attempting to target a smattering of ignoramuses who are widely dispersed across 50 states is the height of campaign stupidity. One thing the GOP has rightly understood for a long time is turn out the base, turn out the base, turn out the base, all while suppressing the base of the opposition.

A big part of the problem is that media members and people in general continue to conflate swing/undecided with "independent." It's nauseating. What research tells us about so-called independents is that the vast majority are highly partisan and that they're less reliable voters than those affiliated with a party.

Just fucking focus on boosting turnout among POC, youth and white suburban women. Raise hell about voter suppression and foreign interference. And call out the media for its ignorance, its false equivalencies, its fluff pieces, its giving credence to lies, and so on. This ain't rocket science.

3. She supports him because she is as racist as he is, if not more so.

4. I looked at this OP headline and was

speechless, or maybe numb is more the correct word. I feel saddened that

anyone--anyone would say such a horrible thing.

6. So are these people deaf, dumb and blind to the things this monster has done

As POTUS? And often these despicable things are done to innocent children. So separating young children from their parents for no good reason is perfectly okay with them? (Children who are too young to understand anything about their situation.) Locking children in cages is okay?

What is wrong with these people?? Are they so consumed by hate that they don’t recognize wrong when they see it or hear about it? I guess we have our answer. 😥

7. Sold their souls to the devil

As literally true as that can be in real life.

8. Total "swing voter". Yeah, I remember all those "swing voters" who said

the same about Obama and Clinton.
