About this rise in support for the orange shithead. I'm not seeing it.
In fact where I work this week there was a 50ish coworker suddenly blurting out about trump not knowing Stormy, not paying Stormy... and generally making fun if the orange shitgibbon out loud. I would have chimed in but I was too busy laughing. Another co-worker did though.
The point I am making is, in the work environment I've been in over they years has been decidedly Republican. I've had to keep my mouth shut though heated discussions belittling Dukakis, Clinton, Gore & Kerry. I'm quite sure the talk I heard from my coworkers would have never been tolerated at my previous places of employment at the time I worked there.
With other coworkers I have talked to in private I get the same feeling about trump from them that I do with myself. That is, you can polish a turd but in the end you still have a turd. This is quite different from years past.
The f__king idiot is not gaining in support. Believe me.

Then you have the people who have NO IDEA about what is going on. NONE.

Many of them were just anti-Hillary or dyed-in-the-wool republicans, but that doesn't mean that they like him. I think a lot of them would like to see someone else replace him, and not necessarily Pence.
