87% of republicans still support trump.

the deplorables won't be able to deny it any longer. Of course there will always be the die hards.

But they are being forced to try to keep this crazed animal in line until they can do that.

Not that I don’t believe it, but I wanna see it in real time.

at this stage of the presidency. I'm not that advanced at all this, must be instructions somewhere.

They are frightened and demoralized and paranoid. They will be drawn to Trump so long as they think he is strong. They don't care about policy or competence or facts, just that Trump is going to kick somebody's ass.

it just means that whatever they don't like, whatever they're worried about, it isn't enough to abandon him.

strong loyalty (to party, not country) is one of the core values of the republican party, so it takes an awful lot for most republicans to abandon a president of their own party.

Even then, many stayed with him. Remember that line in "Sweet Home Alabama", "now Watergate does not bother me.." It bothered me. Now I can't listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd (sp?)

Young people not voting even though it matters most to them.

Actually two more sisters in law, also. As well as my virulent trumpeteer sister.

We don't talk much anyway. My wife talks to them occasionally, but luckily, she has seen the light even though she came out of a grossly racist situation with her parents.

Tether this around their neck

contradictory beliefs at the same time; Trump is the leader of my party and Trump is a traitor. One way to reduce that psychic anxiety is to find ways to bring the two beliefs into balance. To wit, Trump is not a traitor because it's 'fake news.'

decided to run as a Republican, it would get 60 million votes, easy.

Google Spiro T Agnew, Tricky Dick, etc.

You're welcome

That!

Forget them.

Work with those those that didn't vote and help those that can be helped.

All the shit your party has done, and they still come back for more. I'm sorry but they are not right in the head at all.

Just give him time!

I think that was his tip of the scale...if you can call it that.

Living through what is likely to be a 1st class Republican shit show is probably the only thing that will change their minds.

..and that's just not something you're not going to find in their party. They're all little Trump's.

All of them around me still support him. I've been told everything was Flynn's fault and now everything is good.

They lost the vote.

They only won the EC with the help of the Kremlin, Alex Jones, actual fake news, Wki-leaks, the entirety of RW radio, Nazis and the fucking head of the FBI.

They are WEAK. #TheResistance is strong and geting stronger every minute of every day.

Fuck the troglodytes. Let them fade and die, as nature dictates.

I realize that this sounds callous, but the only way the Trump-publicans are ever going to wise up is through more hard-core hurting.

At the risk of offending my fellow DU'ers, things aren't too bad for most Trumpkins. The farmers might be alarmed by the promised immigration crack-down, but the Obama recovery hasn't sputtered to a halt, the ACA is still there, and so is much of the social safety net.

It's going to take a real economic (bleep-word)-storm and a lot of hurting for the dim 15-watt bulb of reason to switch on in most Trump voters' brains and inspire them to think that maybe, just maybe, Donnie and the Republicans are hurting them and maybe voting for Club Pachyderm was a mistake.

Unfortunately a lot of Progressives and people WE love and care about are going to have to suffer as badly or worse than wavering Trumpkins before they wise up.
