Even Republicans on Facebook arent defending him tonight

my cousin is as deep a Republican as i've met. He supports Trump b/c he's a Republican not so much cause he's a hardcore Trumper from the start. He took to Facebook with a post saying "slow down on judging Trump, let him explain himself. Maybe this is a keep your friends close and your enemies closer situation." Saw several people posting in the comments that they've supported trump but cant support this. Maybe, just maybe, we're seeing the start of the fracturing of his support. Then again, give it 2 weeks and they may be back in the fold, who knows.

I never watch that trash but Shepard Smith almost sounded like MSNBC (more so than usual) as I briefly stopped on FAUX. They all sounded like someone having a major Schizophrenic episode truly fascinating. Unreal, but I never heard them mention treason even though many were clearly upset.

About the only post I saw at all from a conservative was one of my aunt's "share this or it means you hate veterans/old people/sick people/kittens/Jesus" meme things.
