A large part of the problem of Trump is that he can shoot someone and not lose voters...

His supporters don’t care how violent, incompetent, cold blooded, and deplorable he is, they have no moral backbone and are essentially deplorables themselves. What do you do when deplorables make up 43% of this country?

lost him a lot of support since 2016 levels. As much as his core cult members would like to believe differently, I think it would be impossible for him to be elected as president ever again. He can certainly influence some elections, but his days of successfully running for office are over, at least to my way of thinking.

and you are in like Flint.

Twitler and the Republicans are nothing more than a direct reflection of those that vote and support them.

There will always be another Racist POS to lead the Republicans and they will all fall in line like they always do and they will promote that 'person' as the Great White Hope and saviour of the white race and protect them at all cost.

more republiQans who are leaving the party. Tens of thousands in the states that report such things, at a time where ten thousand votes can swing a race.

I don't think he could ever be elected again, and now we need to tether the dead chicken of trumpism to the republiQans who support him.
