Within 2 years, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone to publicly admit to voting for Trump [View all]

In December of 2008, Pew did a poll in which they ask people who they voted for in the 2004 election.

It found that only 28% of the public admitted to voting for George W Bush. This was even though he got 51% on Election Day in 2004 in the actual vote.

That is how much a pariah Bush had become by late 2008.... so much so that nearly half of the people who voted for him would not admit to pollsters that they did so.

By this time in 2019, I predict that you will have a hard time finding anyone who will publicly admit to voting for Trump. Not even among family members and friends who were staunch supporters of Trump.

They will experience Collective amnesia and will say things like "I supported a third-party candidate." Or "I didn't vote."

They'll all be like the Apostle Peter in the Bible with their "who is this Trump person you speak of? I don't know him."

Just watch.
