Don't delude yourselves into thinking white/swing voters will leave Trump.

[tman]

If anything he will fortify and increase his share of the white vote. I'm I worried? Nah, but I'm mystified by some of the glee and certainty that this will surely be the end of Trump.

Yes he looks weak, yes he looks incompetent, but you misunderstand the motivations of his voters. Anger and fear to name but a few..
They're not voting for him, they're voting for what he represents.

1. Interesting

I’m mystified (and amused) by those saying it guarantees him another term. So we’ve got that going for us.

[Butterflylady]

7. I agree

He's got 1/3 of the country with him but the other 2/3 do not like what's going on, so no this is not good for him at all. Except for the magots people want a steady hand to guide us thru this turmoil and they know it isn't rump.

[donkeypoofed]

2. He'll keep his solid 1/3, but that's it

[marmar]

3. Your concern is noted.

[Dream Girl]

4. We may just as well give up. I'm not going to even bother to vote.

Is that was you’re looking for?

11. ok chicken little the sky is falling...happy??

I am so tired of this..panic, despair, OMG it's over!..enough, stop already!...yes, Trump has his moronic minions in his pocket...gee what a surprise...he can have them...not interested in "understanding" them bc, well white hate will always find a home ...we work to get some of the 49% 2016 non voters to the polls and we've got this...

[LakeArenal]

16. Yes. Quit those fruitless donations. Take off that bumper sticker.

Even tho, every single day, ALL republicans show us who they are. Vile, vulgar, vipers.

Put your head under your pillow for the next five years.

sarcasm thingie here.

[sop]

5. It's not in someone else's hands, it's in our hands. As Obama always said, "Don't boo...vote!"

[hibbing]

6. Agree 100%

Once again stories around about the death of the party. Last time I looked he had 92% approval among Republicans.

Peace

[Butterflylady]

9. We already know that this country has more democrats than republicans

And I'll wait till polling comes out once this all comes down to see where the dumb arse is. Till then, we can't really say.

[paleotn]

10. Republicans..who amount to only roughly 1/3 of the electorate.

[spooky3]

12. I do too. Republicans and leaning Rs likely see recent events as

MORE not less reason to support Trump. They provokes more fear and otherism in these people, rather than a genuine search for truth and justice.

[paleotn]

8. Doubtful....

Seems many left him in 2017, when his approval dropped to where it's been since then. He has roughly 1/3 of the electorate that's solid. Nothing more. The rest of are tired of his shit and would like nothing better than to return to pre-Donnie. Joe Biden couldn't represent that more if he tried.

[spooky3]

13. Unfortunately, per 538, his base is closer to 42% across the country and

Likely higher in swing states.

[gibraltar72]

14. I can cite several instances of Trump voters I know.

saying I will not vote for him again. I never expect them to apologize. But we get them one at a time.

[LanternWaste]

15. You're confusing certainty with hope.

Confusing glee and regard.

Confusing motivation and idiocy.

Confusing your own certitude and simple prophecy.

"Don't delude yourself into thinking your fortune telling is absolute."




Delusional, indeed...

[tman]

18. There's no certitude. That's my point.

You're confusing your own pseudo-poetic ramblings for profound philosophical analysis.

The confusion of "motivation and idiocy" is definitely an interesting one, when the two often go hand in hand.

[ElementaryPenguin]

17. Trump doesn't have "swing voters"

He has rabid Fox News watchers, and Russians trolling and hacking election sites.

[stillcool]

19. He didn't win a majority of the votes last time..

this time, we may actually count 'all' the votes. Imagine that?

20. Bookmarking this to see how it has aged in November

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, sends older white voters and skittish suburban soccer moms scurrying into the arms of the GOP better than some nationwide rioting and looting.

21. Bookmarking your bookmark

I serve the finest crow.

22. Hope I am wrong

But my current view of people in the country isn’t all that good
