Is there anything Trump could do that would make him lose support of the majority of Republicans?

[Fast Walker 52]

Really, I think the only political question I have right now is this.

I have a whole long list of horrifying things he could easily do, things he's even said he would do, even illegal things, that I don't think would lose him majority Republican support.

I honestly can't think of one thing he could do that they wouldn't rationalize as okay because he's their guy.

Rounding up Muslims and transgenders and having summary executions in the street? Nah, they'd love that.

Dropping nukes in Iraq? Oh, they'd love that.

Dropping a nuke on Hollywood? Somehow, I think his base would love that or could be convinced it was the right thing to do.

Trumpism can only be failed by the country, it can never fail itself. And we know the extreme psychopathy of Trump himself.

The only thing I can see that would cause his die-hard support to change is if he started a nuclear war. But that's only because most of his supporters will get obliterated.

This is not going to end well.

[Hugin]

1. Nominate Obama or Hillary as a Supreme Court Justice.

That'd do it.

[Fast Walker 52]

8. haha, maybe!

[liberal N proud]

2. They are either drunk on power or fear the wrath of a trump temper tantrum

[randome]

3. He will have a 'senior moment' that can't be explained away.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[Bucky]

14. He's had a year full of those. Didn't work.

[CentralMass]

4. Yes, if he starts acting lime a decent human bring, they will turn on him

[treestar]

5. There likely is something

The whole thing about not having any experience with politics is bound to bit him in the orange ass.

And they way he takes things personally and it's all about him. He is bound to get upset with various of them along the way.

[Thinkingabout]

6. For some who are commenting how God has brought the election of Trump, he could kill their first

born and they would continue to praise him. He has admitted sexual assaults, he steals by refusing to pay for services rendered and the story goes on and on.

[Fast Walker 52]

10. that is indeed my worry-- it's a religious type fervor

[Thinkingabout]

20. Blind worshipers

[KPN]

26. No kidding!

Sadly, at least one of my siblings is one of them ... maybe two. But that's not bad -- 1 or 2 out of 9, eh?

[shraby]

7. Mess with social security and medicare.

[Fast Walker 52]

12. I worry that can be rationalized away too easily

they HAD to do it because of the debt or some such.

[Wellstone ruled]

31. This is Trump's

Achilles Heel!!!!! He will be done in by his own Personal Issues. When the Stock Market starts going South in March or sooner,he can kiss his sorry ass good bye. Noticed major sell off in progress,normally we see Market appreciation this week and next of December.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Raise taxes.

[Fast Walker 52]

11. haha-- that may be the one thing!

[Aristus]

21. Reagan and Bush Sr. both did that.

Repubs don't mention Bush Sr. too much, but they worship St. Ronnie...

[TexasBushwhacker]

13. I was always hoping on of his old girlfriends

would come out of the woodwork with definitive proof that he paid her to have an abortion. You know there has to be one.

Maybe if someone came up with definitive proof that he was gay. That's not really that crazy when you think of it. His behavior when it comes to women isn't just disgusting and inappropriate. It's damn odd. That came out when he described the "grab her by the pussy" was locker room talk. Plenty of men came out and said no, it really isn't, or that only teenagers talk like that.

Or if definitive proof was provided that he was an atheist.

[fleur-de-lisa]

15. They won't care.

They will call anyone who comes out against him a liar and accuse that person of coming forward for publicity or blackmail.

[Fast Walker 52]

43. as long as he says he's found Jesus, all will be forgiven

[Trust Buster]

16. Only if Republicans are confident that Democrats have the goods to impeach Trump and give the

Republicans what they really want - Pence. Otherwise, they will agree the sky is purple if that is what Trump says it is.

[sarcasmo]

17. Cut social security by 30% would do the trick.

[Ohioblue22]

18. Eliminate the aca and the min wage law

[no_hypocrisy]

19. Mass and unrelenting unemployment, bankruptcies, and foreclosures.

When there is no work and no homes, that should do the trick.

[Fast Walker 52]

44. After more thought, I realized that there's never going to be ONE thing that turns them

Any one thing, no matter how horrible, can be rationalized.

The only thing would be a series of bad events that can't be easily blamed on Dems or the "other", such as the economy crashing, massive layoffs, raised taxes, their life not getting better, the wars getting worse or not changing, etc.

[RussBLib]

22. having sex with his daughter?

no, wait, he's already doing that

[no_hypocrisy]

51. Paraphrasing the movie "Nine to Five":

He'd probably have pictures taken and sent out as Christmas cards.

[COLGATE4]

23. If they catch him in bed with a

dead girl or a live boy.

[C_U_L8R]

24. Cost them money.

That's all they care about.

[First Speaker]

25. Do or say something--anything--decent...

...that would affect GOP voters like the cross does to Dracula...

[CousinIT]

27. I've wondered the same

He could rape kids & murder people on the WH lawn and Republicans would defend him. Gingrich already said laws shouldn't apply to him.

[berksdem]

28. The Orange Cheeto...

has literally moved the needle on normalcy within the GOP. Sadly, I truly believe his followers will make excuses for anything and everything that goes against what he campaigned on.

[old guy]

29. Can't think of a thing.

[Docreed2003]

30. The man could drop trowel and take a massive dump at the podium

During a State of the Union address and Republicans would call it inspired.

[pipi_k]

32. What would lose him support

from the Republicans?


Do a complete 180 from everything he said he was going to do.

In essence, govern like a Democrat.

The Republicans would hate him for sure.

[Fast Walker 52]

45. I actually think they would love him even more for that

I don't think they mind Dem policies, they just hate them coming from a liberal. Like Reagan and Nixon got away with liberal policies.

[Shrek]

33. If he blinks on the ACA repeal

That's a huge deal to a lot of them.

[Kablooie]

34. He could become a Democrat. That would do it.

[subterranean]

50. Honestly, that's the only thing that would do it.

For many people, the letter after the name is all that matters, because the other party would be worse.

I'm not excluding Democrats from that way of thinking, but Republicans seems to tolerate more egregious behavior from their representatives than we do (the IOKIYAR phenomenon).

[KittyWampus]

35. Voters? I honestly think if he called his youngest son, Barron, a "retard".

Lots of Trump voters can excuse Trump's comment about grabbing a woman's pussy as "what guys do".

But calling your young son a 'retard' does beyond what many excuse as 'guy talk'.

Lots of Trump voters have autistic kids/sons.

They excuse horrible behavior towards women/girls. Not boys.

Edit to say- I don't think Congressional Republicans would find this as reason to turn against him.

I am referring to some Trump voters who excused his rhetoric and behavior.

[Fast Walker 52]

46. apparently Tom Arnold has a tape of Trump calling his son a retard or something to that effect

But I'm not sure that would turn the majority away.

[GoCubsGo]

56. It wouldn't.

I suspect that a lot of them call their own kids by the same name.

[leftyladyfrommo]

36. No. Because all they see is dollar signs.

And more personal power.

Who are they fighting for? It's certainly not the people that voted them in.

[Vogon_Glory]

37. Affirming and supporting the rights of women to have access to birth control

That would cost him most Republicans' support

Of course he'll never do THAT.

[HeartachesNhangovers]

38. Proposing an "assault weapons" ban.

[kimbutgar]

39. No they worship him like cult members

Jim Jones and orange hitler are cult leaders.

[Fast Walker 52]

48. sure seems that way

[DonCoquixote]

40. yes

cut social security and raise tariffs. America judges virtue by it's wallet

[forgotmylogin]

41. Heheh...

Legalize Marijuana
Host a gay wedding in the White House
Install Barack Obama in the Supreme Court
Host Bill and Hillary at the White House
Tell Bill O'Reilly he's fired.
Press conference "I've had my people review ACA, and we're going to replace it with Universal Health Care."
Tweet: "Fox News - so biased! What a failing network. On the way out. Good!"
"These CEOs and Corporations making more than a million per year are going to start paying their fair share of taxes... If your CEO and major players are American citizens, you pay tax no matter where you say your address is."
"I was wrong to ever assume Barack Obama was a muslim, and not an American citizen..."

[hunter]

42. If Trump held a press conference while fucking a sheep...

... Republicans would praise him for it.

If he tried to take away their guns and their porn he'd be gone within a week.

[Fast Walker 52]

49. Gun grabbing from white folks-- yes!!! That could be the one thing!

[Missn-Hitch]

53. I stand corrected.

[titaniumsalute]

47. The question is more about independents

Independents are the reason Trump is in office. The Republicons will always vote Republicon period. They could an open Nazi with the flags and everything and they'd vote for him happily. The biggest thing is if the more moderate independents really lose faith.

[Missn-Hitch]

52. No. And I really mean that.

[Initech]

54. Even a nuclear war won't sway Trump fans.

Seriously if they had been around during the Revolutionary War, we'd still be under British rule.

And I swear if I hear another Trumplodite use the phrase "liberal tears" one more god damn time, I'm going to start choking them out.

[hamsterjill]

55. No, because the mentality of Trump supporters is such that they cannot admit that they were wrong.

They thrive being part of groups of other imbeciles who will support the fantasies that they believe in. They stir one another up and justify anything that needs to be justified.

They will never admit that they were wrong in supporting The Donald. It will always be someone else's fault for whatever sad occurrence befalls their idiot butts.
