Voters who will lose their affordable healthcare coverage will opt out of their membership in the GOP choir. Voters who don't see their jobs come back as a result of Trump's campaign promises will be even more pissed-off than they already are. Voters who watch as their children's education deteriorates will learn a valuable lesson about who's on whose side. Voters who lose their life's savings due to being bankrupted by medical bills will not rush out to vote another Republi-cant into office.
I've been around long enough to hear the "Republican voters will never turn on their own party" meme over and over - and yet, they often do. It has to hit home, and it has to hurt - BIGLY! - and there's no doubt that it's going to.
Republican voters may not care about their POTUS being an ignorant asshole - but they DO care about the things that affect them personally.
They may never give a second thought to their fellow citizens' plight, but they DO care about their own.
If that were not the case, we would never have elected Obama, and there wouldn't be a single Democrat in office.
I have little faith in Republican voters doing the right thing by their country - but I have every confidence in their
ability to look out for themselves when it's been proven to them that their loyalty to the GOP has bitten them in their own asses.
And they are about to be bitten in every way imaginable.
