It won't hurt him with his supporters. They simply don't care.

I have no explanation for why, but it doesn’t matter what he says or does. We will have to wipe him from history. Nuke him from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

If he started a nuclear war, they might even enjoy seeing liberals upset about that too... until they were themselves vaporized or died from the radiation.

I mean, they know if they needed a ride to the hospital pra shoulder to cry on, they could count on me. No boast here... most of us are good friends. And yet my Trumper friends believe in a man who glories in telling them that you and I are liars and anarchists and haters. They can somehow believe both of those.

There is no depth at which those still on board will then bail out. They are permanently attached. Nothing will change the mind of anyone who is still on board.

He could walk into their home and kill their closest family member in front of them and they would just embarrassingly fawn over the fact of him being in their home. Everyone else has already left. Only those types remain.

AND REMEMBER THAT WHEN THEY TRY TO REHABILITATE THEIR IMAGES IN THE FUTURE.

He seems to have fewer and fewer "supporters" every day. So saying "they don't care" what he says or does is demonstrably incorrect. Apparently, some of them do care - or they wouldn't be deserting him.

His 538 approval average has jumped 3.5 points over the past month or so

That category is directly related to vote share

We need it to stop climbing. Maybe this will help

That is part of the base trump counts on, and those votes are lost for good.

”I recommend all veterans to use their Military pics as a profile pic to let Trump know how many people he has offended by calling fallen soldiers losers and suckers.“ #NewProfilePic





— and at least every frickin loser *republican* will have to think up an appropriate response to their Dear Bunkerboi’s disgusting comments, and that makes me soooo very happy to think about (in a REALLY PISSED OFF WAY, of course )

Us the election by a win in AZ! You just don’t diss McCain to Arizonans...red or blue

With safe and likely states our electoral count only needs one leaning/swing state to win.AZ would put us over the 270 mark
