Here is an example of ignorant voters in Ohio
What would it take for Vinton County Trump backers to stop supporting him? Nuclear war, perhaps:
McARTHUR, Ohio--President Donald Trump is under increasing fire following his dismissal of FBI Director James Comey and his disclosure of top-secret Israeli intelligence to Russian officials.
But in rural Vinton County, many Trump voters say it would take a lot more than that - blatant corruption, nuclear war, or even their own deaths - for them to stop supporting the president.
In Ohio's least populous and nearly poorest county, Trump supporters aren't fazed by Trump firing Comey after Trump told Comey he hoped the director would shut down an investigation into his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. They think Democrats and the media are overplaying reports that Trump disclosed top-secret intelligence from Israel to Russian officials.
They feel Republicans and Democrats alike aren't giving the president much of a chance to do his job.
"That's just people trying to get Trump in trouble and get him out of office [to] put somebody else that's going to bend over and kiss the government's rear end even more," said Austin Williams, a 21-year-old Trump voter from McArthur. "I just think, let the man stay in office and do his job, and next time the elections are, when it comes to voting, vote for somebody else if you don't like Trump's way."
Williams, who works as a mystery shopper for Goodwill Industries, said he doubts Trump shared classified information with the Russians (though Trump himself has admitted it). Told that the intelligence was about a threat from the Islamic State, Williams said, "that's just old news."

They are known for hiring the disabled. Much as I hate Trump, Williams is probably quite limited and making him the focus of contempt and derision is plucking low hanging fruit. It should have been obvious to the reporter.
And at this point, Rublicans are digging their feet in. To my observation, because I am around a lot of hard core Rublicans, it is more like supporting their favorite sports team. Regardless of how bad their sports team is doing, hard core will continue to support their team. They may grumble and argue about individual team players...but they will never drop their team. Until the public sees this as American's team...versus Russia's team...I don't see their stance changing.
their Medicare and Medicaid and food stamps and so on they will probably start to notice but even then they might not blame Trump. Honestly these people (like the Nixon-lovers) are not going to be swayed by rational arguments. They want a cult leader who gives them the feelz and gives them sad, meaningless ways and verbal vomit slogans ("lock her up"
to feel like their lives are better than they really are -- of course Trump won't do shit for them.
Trump allows them to fantasize about what being a "tough billionaire" would be like -- they watch the Apprentice and don't understand the difference between the carefully crafted image for television and the reality of the absolutely pathetic traitor, the little cowardly man, who has lived a life without consequences and of no consequence until he decided to rape the country and the office of the presidency in the Oval Office. This man will without question be rated as the most hated and worst prez in US history. They can hold on to their fantasies then if they still find them comforting.
of his rabid, racist, bigoted hardcore(many millions) base. Not surprising.
Yet any country that can start out by perpetrating genocide against the Native-americans, burning witches and having slavery of Africans as one of it's institutions and encouraging(fox snooze, rw radio et al.) it's continuing hate, it can be, NOT SURPRISING.
as a whole 53.4%, voted for this disaster. That includes all classes of white women, single, married, middle class. Yet 43% voted for HRC, gives me hope and many of them are here....

First, and foremost, Williams, he (the sexual predator) put himself into this "trouble" that you call it, I didn't ask him to, and neither did the 65 million voters that voted against him.
And as a reminder, if your local newspaper or tv news never reported this, lets take you back to what you voted for along with the 62 million just like yourself, you own him and he owns you
