Is going to make a bit of difference to their base. The cons love them some criminals. The worse, the better in their minds. We can spare these people no quarter. They would kill us all if they could.

(14,033 posts)Trumps base is 40% of Americans or less. Its about convincing swing voters which are still about 5-10% of voters in any given election.

(15,259 posts)These aren't, however, people judiciously weighing the pros and cons of Democratic and Republican positions on issues.
These are people who are largely ignorant of what's going on in politics, who have no clue how often party is much more important than individual politicians, who in fact think disregarding political rhetoric and policy positions, and instead going with their own (highly-manipulable) gut feelings for the personality or character of individuals, is much more reliable.
These are people who consider whether or not they are personally happy with how things are going, and, if so, they vote for incumbents, and if not, vote for challengers.
