Post your estimate of how long it will take for the pro-frumps to turn on him

[lindysalsagal]

Assuming the GOP is actually going to scrub the Affordable Healthcare Act on day one, eliminate Social Security thereafter, drop corporate tax rates, and plunge us into even greater deficits, how long will it take for the news meme to change into "It's Trump's fault."?

He's already refused to:

1.prosecute Hillary
2. Build the wall
3. deport aliens
4. replace manufacturing/coal/iron/lumber jobs
5. get lobbyists out of government

and lots more that come to mind.

When will the meme be, "He turned into just another crooked politician?"

I say, one year.

[ailsagirl]

1. What makes you think they will?

They're oblivious to their hero's having feet of clay (or worse)

[Blanks]

26. They knew Trump because he was a reality TV star...

The people who voted for him don't follow politics. They watch reality TV programs.

They'll never turn on him. Because they have no idea what's going on except on reality TV.

[rusty fender]

28. This!

Dumbfucks from Dumbfuckistan. They didn't vote for him to do anything, really; he is the anti-Obama. That's all that matters to them.

[Blanks]

49. Sadly, if you ask them what they think he will do...

Since he didn't actually campaign on anything, they can't really tell you.

They're just so happy that their team won, and they know that's a good thing.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. All of the five items mentioned

will reappear once his Ratings slide. Count on it.

[0rganism]

15. exactly - they're just lower priority

he's putting that shit, along with some other treats, on the back burner, to be rolled out piecemeal when he needs a boost from his base
they'll be as miserable as ever, so they'll take a handy scapegoat over nothing at all
why would he throw them all the cookies at once when he can hand them out as needed to get support?

[Wellstone ruled]

25. First thing the Rethugs have to screw up is the Budget that is due in April

Watch for the Tea-Bagger flame throwers to after the Immigratin and Muslims thing in February giving cover for the Whack ACA crowd. During all this,1% er Tax bill will pass on voice vote retroactive to January 1.

[guillaumeb]

3. How long will it take Trump to convince his supporters that someone else is to blame?

He may be a terrible business man, a cheat, and a liar, but he is good at selling people on the idea of Trump.

Just as Reagan was good at selling himself even as his policies made life worse fro most Americans.

[Arkansas Granny]

22. Yes. He won't be held to account. They will cast the blame elsewhere.

[Hortensis]

27. Exactly. It took 7 disastrous years for W's support,

i.e., those who said they felt he was doing a good job, to drop below 30%. At the very end, it was down to an unheard-of 15% or so. Itm, almost everything will be the Democrats' fault.

But, for the OP, <1 year until Trump is removed from office, though not by the electorate.

[shenmue]

4. One year

[ananda]

5. As soon as they start losing ..

.. healthcare, Social Security benefits, Medicare,
and Medicaid.

It has to hit them where they live because they
have too much ignorance and bias to be able
to see the truth about Trump until it directly
affects them.

Of course, this is just a sad shame for all of us
because they're taking us down with them.

[WhiteTara]

40. If disability checks disappear

they will be stunned and angry...at Obama.

[Freethinker65]

6. Turn on him? Many will go back to being apolitical...and fade into the background

[Lint Head]

7. Trump Humper are already getting pissed.

[lindysalsagal]

11. I actually think they are, too.

They are so stupid, they didn't catch on that he couldn't do any of it, even if he wanted to.

[Lint Head]

12. I've seen Twitter posts where people are disallusioned.

[Laurian]

8. Even if they feel betrayed by him, they'll never

admit it. To do so would be to admit their stupidity. I know some of these folks, they'll suffer in silence or perhaps find some tangential excuse for the mess, but they'll never admit they were wrong.

[gratuitous]

9. Individual responses will vary

But as a group, I see the Trump supporters refusing to admit that they were duped in any way, that they actually believed what Trump was promising them, or that they are disappointed by his string of broken promises. There will be mind-boggling rationalizations and justifications for all of it, as well as a steady stream of scapegoat candidates supplied by Fox News. Never read the comments, but if you traipse through the comments on any news story about a broken promise, there are a scabillion excuses as well as outright denial that Trump ever made a promise; that if he made a promise he hasn't broken it yet; that if he made a promise and broke it that it doesn't matter anyway; that if he made a promise, broke it, and it mattered, then Obama or Clinton or somebody else did something worse, so it's a good thing that Trump broke a very important promise.

[rgbecker]

10. I'm not sure, but I'll be watching the DOW index for the first indication.

So far the market loves the billionaire cabinet and the fed raising rates will move bonds into stocks...but I can't imagine this market continuing it's current trend much longer.

[lindysalsagal]

14. The dow says how happy investors are: It rises during unemployment.

Actually, domestic happiness and dow surges tend to work in opposition: What's good for management is never good for labor.

[rgbecker]

23. Where I live, if the market is doing well those that have money to spend, spend it.

That helps those who are working for or providing services to the investor class. When the market tanks, investors stop putting money into the market, stop spending money and unemployment increases as new jobs dry up and people start competing with each other for the old jobs.

Meanwhile, those just getting by barely affording groceries and rents won't be affected by a raising dow, but will certainly be affected when it falls, as it did in 2008. I'll be watching the Dow, because when 2008 repeats itself, that's when Trump voters are going to show up in the streets.

[LonePirate]

13. Maybe when they start dying after he takes away their health insurance and Social Security

[Warpy]

18. Or when the mother-in-law moves in with them

because she can't afford to live independently on reduced Social Security.

[lindysalsagal]

19. Or maybe when they have to sell the house to pay their grown kid's medical bills

because their chronic conditions are expensive.....

[RKP5637]

36. And when their kids have to live permanently home becasue jobs suck and the kids are

woefully uneducated plus innately genetically stupid.

[Warpy]

16. I give him six months at the most

before the backlash starts. It's hard to know what will finally trigger it, those folks learn real slow.

[TrekLuver]

17. A year or less. His conflicts of interest are where my hopes lie. Also his non stop twitter

rants will become tiresome to more mainstream supporters. Who the hell wants a President who is all about "the drama?? People are going to get tired of this shit.

[lindysalsagal]

20. Maybe when their kids get thrown out of their trendy charter schools

because they bring the test score averages down.

[crazylikafox]

21. They'll never turn on him. Any problems will be blamed on Obama & the democrats.

[etherealtruth]

24. Never ....

... they will blame it on congress or the courts for refusing to let tRump force Muslims to wear crescent moons and a star on their clothing and register "with the state", or refusing to deport all people of hispanic heritage .... they'll insist the tax cuts for the uber wealthy just weren't enough to create the billions of high paying jobs that tRump wanted to create They'll hug their guns close (to which they will now have complete free and unfettered access) and they'll be comforted in knowing the undeserving no longer have access to healthcare and that women do not have access to abortions (or even birth control)

[WhiteTara]

42. Obama will be the scapegoat.

[octoberlib]

29. There's actually a Twitter account and Tumblr that

aggregates all the disappointed Shitler voter's tweets.

@realDonaldTrump Please! No more Wall Streeters!. Appointing that money grubber from Goldman is the exact opposite of WHY we voted for YOU!

@realDonaldTrump — Lockheed F35 is 100,000+ jobs. My dad works there & voted for you. You repay with tweets that crash his 401k retirement.

[hatrack]

37. Main themes:

1. Wall!
2. Lock her up!
3. Deport!
4. Shitty Cabinet picks!
(and my personal favorite):
5. Get off Twitter and shut the fuck up!

[octoberlib]

45. They really, really , really want him to stop tweeting.Lol

[oberliner]

30. Never

His supporters watch Fox News and listen to Hannity who has already excused all five of those things and no one cares.

[cry baby]

31. Count me in the "never" category.

He is a celebrity, after all.

[jalan48]

32. At which point-a 9/11 event to "Pull the country together".

[briv1016]

39. I.E. and convertible that makes Mike the president.

[rpannier]

33. 31st of February

In other words, never
His supporters will not turn on him, they'll blame others
Those that aren't real supporters probably will

[RKP5637]

35. They will be told it's Obama's fault and they will believe it. These people are damn fools. They

can't comprehend anything except misinformation and hatred.

[briv1016]

38. I'll say the same thing I said yesterday in a similar post.

"As long as Donald can provide a scapegoat (Obama, Mexicans, Muslims) they will never accept blame."

[resistance2016]

41. Never

They love him. He's the "alpha male" they've begged for on their knees - cruel, greedy, racist, sexist, vile to the core. He could mail them a box of his shit and they'd weep in joy for such a blessing.

[enough]

43. Never. (nt)

[KT2000]

44. decades

they have not moved on from hating Hillary, Obama, immigrants, non-whites, and whatever else Bannon comes up with. He will keep them stirred up for a long, long time.

[Greywing]

46. When gas prices reach $4.00 per gallon which should happen in 2017 n/t

[riverwalker]

47. Less than 3 months

They may be passionate believers, but they are very very very shallow. When they start to turn all that vitriol and hatred they now have for Clinton, minorities, immigrants, Muslims towards Trump, look out. Sit back and enjoy the show.

[Skittles]

48. never

too stupid
