(3,864 posts)I don't know what you all think, but in this article by Andrew Levine he says that if Tp either quits the race or loses, that he will "lose face" among his followers.
I disagree. I think the followers are mindless, and they will love him forever, no matter what -- bec. that is what they are. They (his supporters) love celebrity and money. They love bullying, they love big egos. They think by salivating over him, they will somehow become rich by magic.
Remember when S Palin would say things, and we would think "oh, now she will lose popularity" and she would actually gain by all her stupids.
that is what I think. we shall see. anybody that is with him now after he pretty much calls for the assassination of a presidential candidate, has got to be insane.
