sway any of his supporters to vote for Biden instead?
I know the hard core cultists are hopeless. Maybe there are some supporters left who might find this latest outrage the last straw?
Or will they mostly shrug it off and call it fake news like they do with any fact they think disparages Dear Leader.

They are in it for the racism or perhaps the prolife judges or to piss off the libs or pay no taxes and they are willing to eat a humongous shit sandwich probably including watching him piss on their own family members who served their country honorably, if it means they get what they are in it for.

(32,618 posts)Almost everyone already knows how they're going to vote. Nothing between now and November will make a difference. That's one of the reasons why so few people watched the Conventions this year. They know who the candidates are, and whom they're going to vote for.
So even though these articles like the one in the Atlantic are useful and informative, they're not going to change many opinions.

The National Anthem may take on another perspective now that Trump's views on Military service has come out. Anger is one of the emotions millions will be feeling as this news progress.

The electorate is absolutely moving away from him.
