In reply to the discussion: Presuming Trump will be voted out of office, will he remain a significant political force [View all]Proud liberal 80
(4,167 posts)I think the reason most Republicans put up with him now is that he is the president and had power and he gives them what he wants. Remember he only had plurality support in the primaries, but once he got the nomination they backed him because they would back any Republican over a Democrat. I even think his supporters will stop paying attention to him once he is off the National stage, they will look for that next shiny penny. Remember Sarah Palin, those same supporters were crazy about her, and everyone thought that she had a movement and this big following, but once she became old and had no power, she became irrelevant to them........I say in a few years, you will find few people who will say they voted for Trump. Republicans will say he was a bad President....similar to the way they treat Bush now
