Will he turn on his own base?

[Pobeka]

This is the guy who NEVER accepts blame. Always the best people, until he gets fed up and fires them.

Can he control his natural instinct to blame *his own base* for not turning out in enough numbers to re-elect him?

I'll give it a 50/50 chance he ultimately turns on them. That would spoil some of his future fund-raising from the marks, but this is also the guy with virtually no long term vision, like, say, right before an election maybe you shouldn't tell a key state (PA) that you'll deprive them of resources from the federal govt just because they made it hard to hold a rally...

1. I thing he'll get religion and start his own

Jim Bakker type show to take their money.

5. He already talks in

Tongues.

[Phoenix61]

2. He absolutely will. He is incapable of accepting

responsibility for a bad outcome. Trademark of a narcissist.

3. He'll blame them for not driving around with guns and forcing people to vote for him

[W_HAMILTON]

4. He won't turn on his base, but he will turn on the Republican politicians abandoning him.

And we should do all we can to encourage that schism.

[Shermann]

6. He turned out to be the long pole in the Republican tent this week

The rest of the circus did reasonably well.

[PatSeg]

7. Oh yeah

I figured that was inevitable. He can't help himself, he has to alienate everyone he can. Its like he is programmed to do whatever leaves him alone and miserable.

8. Dim bulbs NEVER shine brightly - EVER.

[Under The Radar]

9. They will slowly turn against him as they come to realize

That he was just a con man all along.
Similar to the rise and fall of Sarah Palin- the lie eventually gets exposed.

12. Trumpers are the "you can fool some of the people all of the time" group.

That's my take on it anyway.

[Windy City Charlie]

10. His base

This is where we're at with the Republican party. His base aren't Republicans, but Trumpers. Another way of looking at it, the Republican party is now split up. The Trumper wing of it, and then the other Republicans (the Lincoln Project wing).

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. He loves having a base even if he totally disrespects them among close associates. Twitter, TV,

He and his idiot sons want to start a network.

Don't forget, tRump loves attention, and the only ones who will pay him attention are his diehard base. He needs that.

He won't turn on his base.

[Pobeka]

13. Oh yeah, logically you're right. But this guy is ruled by emotion. That's why I think 50/50 odds.

This space intentionally left blank.

[Docreed2003]

14. I doubt he will

Only because I think, he will continue to be the ultimate carnival barker...he needs his marks to fund his future endeavors, whether that be a run in 2024 or a television network to try to rival Fox. He's not so dumb that he would cut off his revenue source

[torius]

15. His base doesn't seem to have donated a lot

To re-elect him. They just want to have fun and feel all big and tough. Asking for money is a sign of weakness.

[Midnightwalk]

16. He already has

Stranding people at rallies, saying he wouldn’t be places if he was behind, acting against their interests, etc.

He will get worse.

The question is if and when they will notice.

[SKKY]

17. Of course he will. The only person he is true to, other than himself, is Ivanka...

...he'd sell Eric, Jr. and definitely Tiffany if it saved Ivanka.

[Thekaspervote]

18. This

[Pobeka]

19. True, but eewww it's still so disgusting to think of it! n/t
