What happens to Trumps supporters when he leaves the WH?

I think he will lose his election and his base will go to war. They will leave the Republican party and start their own party.

De nial is not just a river in Egypt.

So let me get this straight.LOL. I can't stop laughing. 45 is sooooo in denial that they lost the house, he is saying that people were changing into disguises to vote twice. ROFL. And the Republican losses were all about their worship of 45and how they co-signed on his bullshit. They won't eat it in public but I bet they do in private. They won't kick him to the curb so they deserve to lose. Rofl.


'YOU lost cause YOU didn't kiss my ass'- 45

Adam Schiff to Matthew Whitaker: Were watching you. Must read

Matthew Whitaker, we’re watching you


By Adam B. Schiff November 12
Adam B. Schiff, a Democrat, represents California’s 28th District in the House, where he is the ranking minority member of the Intelligence Committee.

Only hours after the magnitude of Democratic gains in the House became apparent, President Trump ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, putting special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation in imminent danger. This represents the president’s most direct challenge yet to the rule of law.

Instead of elevating Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, the most senior Senate-confirmed officer at the Justice Department, Trump circumvented normal succession by handpicking Matthew G. Whitaker, Sessions’s chief of staff and a person who has publicly criticized the special counsel’s investigation and has troubling conflicts of interest.

The president and Whitaker should heed this warning: The new Democratic majority will protect the special counsel and the integrity of the Justice Department. Should Whitaker fail to recuse himself — all indications are that he plans not to — and seek to obstruct the investigation, serve as a back channel to the president or his legal team or interfere in the investigations in any way, he will be called to answer. His actions will be exposed.

It is no mystery why the president chose Whitaker, an obscure and ill-qualified official never confirmed by the Senate, which many legal experts believe makes the appointment itself unconstitutional. Trump chose him to protect himself, his family and his close associates from the special counsel’s investigation and other investigations within the Justice Department.

Though I had many profound disagreements with Sessions, he was correct to follow the rules meant to ensure public confidence in the fair administration of justice and recuse himself, even though the president viewed Sessions’s compliance as a singular act of disloyalty. We must demand the highest ethical standards of everyone at the Justice Department, including the attorney general.

There is no indication that Whitaker has likewise consulted with ethics officials, as his past public statements, associations and the manner of his appointment make clear that he should have no role in overseeing the special counsel’s investigation or any matter related to the president and his campaign...
