East and maybe Cuba. When the quality of life is ruined for most of the 90%, and it becomes abundantly clear that Trump and the GOP are directly responsible for our national calamity, most people who support him now will abandon him.

In a better world things shouldn't have to get that bad for people to see the obvious, but unfortunately in the world we live in today they must.

Oh, and no matter how bad things get in this nation, there will always be a hardcore 10% that will stick with him no matter what. Like the hardcore Nazis in April of 1945 who chose to commit suicide, because they couldn't stand the idea of living in a world without Hitler.
