Trump wupporters waiting too long, give up and leave poll lines?

[getagrip_already]

This was on Palmer Report just now:

During the 2pm EST hour today, MSNBC reported that according to sources in the Trump campaign, some Trump voters are getting tired of standing in line, and are giving up and going home. The NBC News reporter in question did not report how the Trump campaign knows this is happening, or how many would-be Trump voters are giving up. But clearly the Trump campaign is worried enough about this trend to sound the alarm about it to the media.

How's that for enthusiasm? Guess boatie mcboat parades don't mean that much after all.

1. That's the gamble with urging your supporters to wait to vote

Trump is a putz

[samnsara]

2. of course. They are into IMMEDIATE gratification...waiting in line to vote? naaaaaa

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. This!

Many of them have certainly demonstrated an unwillingness to make sacrifices with masks or social distancing!

[NurseJackie]

34. They probably realize it won't make a difference. They know he's lost.

Better for them to go home, swill some booze or guzzle some cheap beer... then call it a night.

[PatSeg]

3. Could be they know he's losing

[Dem2theMax]

8. That's what I'm thinking.

They've heard just enough news to realize it's not worth waiting in line.

[PatSeg]

29. Yeah, they're not as delusional

as Trump thinks. If it requires possible hours in line, why bother?

[StClone]

10. Me thinks so "what's the use!?"

So they head home rather than get "Omaha-ed."

[PatSeg]

33. If they hurry,

they can get home in time for a new episode of "Hoarders".

[getagrip_already]

41. don't forget that senior discounts in restaraunts end around 5 pm.....

Gotta get those all you can take home meals!!!!

Sad, but I'm not really joking. Senior dinner discounts are serious things in some areas.

[PatSeg]

44. Oh yeah, I know

For a lot of these Trumpers, all of this has just been a pastime, not worth the trouble of waiting in line for very long. There are the hardcore supporters of course, but they are a very loud minority. For the rest, it is often just a fun thing to do with your friends and neighbors. Going to the rallies is equivalent to going to a concert, more of a social event than a political commitment. They certainly aren't going to miss out on those senior dinner discounts!

[lagomorph777]

35. Ha! "He's not gonna freeze MY ass!"

"Let's go get a beer and watch Trump win on Fox!"

[dv421]

4. Weaklings...

They should stand in line for 6 hours just to see how minorities voters feel in the south.

[LakeArenal]

7. Or Milwaukee.

[gopiscrap]

20. this

[ananda]

5. Snowflakes

Melting away

[pwb]

6. Yeah we are all in lines.

So there's that!

[Binkie The Clown]

9. They don't need to vote. Fox told them Trump will win in a landslide. nt

[StClone]

16. And I thought they weren't too smart.

That's "genius" for the good side.

[Yonnie3]

11. They are looking for somebody to blame

anyone but t'Rump. He can never lose.

[OhZone]

12. Their enthisiasm hit a wake by something larger and sank.

[LizBeth]

13. Excuses already. Lol

[kurtcagle]

14. They're worried that the campaign busses that brought them

will leave without them ...

again.

[MoonRiver]

25. And they would be right.

[fierywoman]

15. So the greatest enthusiasm ever seen in the history of the world doesn't equate to

waiting in line to vote?

[redstatebluegirl]

17. They are hearing the conversations and realizing they are NOT in the majority like they thought.

Damn Fox lied to them, Trump lied to them, Brietbart lied to them, Alex lied to them. Really???? I'm sure they were not expecting the lines to be full of Democrats!

[Zambero]

18. They of the "We don't really like the guy, but his policies seem OK" mindset

Hey, go have a beer instead. Really!

[BComplex]

19. Did they by chance say WHERE the trump voters are walking off the job?

I hope it's Florida and Texas!!!! I want both to turn Carolina blue!!!

[getagrip_already]

30. this was in PA...

[BComplex]

31. Oh! That's good too! Trump needs PA to win, and I'd sure love it if he lost PA really

badly!

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Self-affecting people will wait until they deem enough was invested, then bail on voting.

.

Just like everything else in their life. It's about them, and if the voting system is structured to be too inconvenient, they will step out of the line and go elsewhere. More liberal-minded people will wait as they see it is an investment in the common good, not the one.

[ohtransplant]

22. It's the losers limp...

like when an athlete knows the contest is over. Every little nick or inconvenience feels like a fatal blow.

[SoonerPride]

23. Normally the Palmer Report is trash, but since they're quoting MSNBC I'll buy it

[Johnny2X2X]

26. I've been talking about this for weeks.

Trump told his voters to wait until today, their lines were bound to be a little longer than usual. People are still busy, some have kids to pick up or have to go work 2nd shift.

Dems voting early ensured smaller lines in the cities than usual (Still long), but it will reduce this type of attrition.

[gibraltar72]

27. They have them chipped.

[DIVINEprividence]

28. Banking on same day voting big miscalculation

Now the GOP have to deal with this mess and our side has a huge chunk already banked.

[BComplex]

36. Watch trump cry & scream that we need to count ALL the votes before a state declares.

His tune is going to change drastically in the next 24 hours, I predict.

[Raine]

32. In the old days repubs

would go and stand in the pouring rain, nothing would stop them from voting.

[TeamPooka]

37. It's all in the training. Democrats have been trained to wait in line to vote for decades thanks to

Republicans.
Pub's have no voter endurance training so they quit.
Thanks GOP!

[crickets]

38. B-but what about the rallies?

Psh.

[TlalocW]

39. Republicans never see the big picture

And never consider the consequences of their actions. Trump spent better part of the year saying vote by mail is illegal, dangerous, likely not to get counted, and they accepted it from their Circus Peanut-colored Calf on High. Let the democrats vote by mail. It will just mean fewer people at the polls. Whoopsies.

[tanyev]

40. Womp womp.

[Midnight Writer]

42. The GOP engineered the long lines, said out loud they want to suppress the vote. Now they complain?

[getagrip_already]

43. But her EMAILS!!!!! n/t
