Aaaaaaaaaand I'm not even getting into Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, Bill Barr... And I'm not even getting into Trump's business with the dictator of Kazakhstan or his history of not paying his bills.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he just pardoned 11 financial criminals.

(16,423 posts)That means only about 80% of republican voters are truly Trump-supporters. Think of McCain, Romney, Amash, Jeb Bush... If the Democrats can sway those other 20% of republican voters to vote Democrat or to stay home, Trump is toast.
