Question. First a predicate

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Herr Drumpf got 46% of the vote. We don't need to peel off a lot to stall his agenda and whip his and his enablers asses in the 2018 mid terms and 2020 general election.


What percentage of his base of Deplorables do you think we can peel off not if but when he conducts personal business out of the Oval Office and fills his own coffers?

[Trust Buster]

1. There are many more Democrats defending Senate seats in 2018 than Republicans. And, the House

will still reflect a gerrymandered result.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I am more than aware of that.

But what if a stream of businesspeople come out and say they made deals with Trump where he used his presidency as leverage.
Surely not every Deplorable who voted for him will countenance that.

[RKP5637]

2. A lot of the deplorables are going to have a big WTF when the riches he promised them, jobs and

all, fail to materialize and they finally get the fact he considers them all losers and always did!

4. At this point I don't think anything Trump does in terms of ethical breach

will cost him his base. The media normalized every odious thing that he has done. Trump is the exception to every rule. There are no gatekeepers.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. He has 46%. Even if we can peel off 5% that brings him down to 44%.

[Duckhunter935]

6. That does not matter now

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Two questions

Two questions:


What "does not matter now" ?


My question is based on moving forward:

" Question. First a predicate

Herr Drumpf got 46% of the vote. We don't need to peel off a lot to stall his agenda and whip his and his enablers asses in the 2018 mid terms and 2020 general election.


What percentage of his base of Deplorables do you think we can peel off not if but when he conducts personal business out of the Oval Office and fills his own coffers? "

What part of that don't you understand?

[Duckhunter935]

12. You won't get his base

You might be able to get some of the fringe that voted against Hillary and might be able to vote for another candidate. The Clinton name cost her several points.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Then that's all we need.

He received 46% of the vote. He and his party can not absorb very many defections.

[Duckhunter935]

15. True

Many of us said this at the time and were insulted and ignored, sadly

[CincyDem]

7. Not going to happen.

Tune in and listen to the Deplorable's conference call...it's held every day from noon to 6 on about 600AM radio stations. Most people call it Rush/Hannity time but I like to think of it as the "Message of the Day" for Trumpsters. And it's been that way for 8 years.

What's the message?

"...this economy is in such bad shape it's going to take at least 3 years, maybe more, to unravel all this shit. Trump's committed to it and he's going to start taking action on day one but it's going to take time to turn the ship of state. He's great but even he can't perform miracles."

By 2018, the base will be completely convinced that any problems of the past 2 years (2016-2018) are Obama overhang and the 25 dem senators up for re-election are to blame. Hell, if they say it enough, they may be able to ride this through 2018...as long as he doesn't abandon his white supremacist base.

9. I think Trump and his family are smart enough to not do anything really

Blatant that gets them in a lot of trouble. Especially after it's come up in just the past two weeks, and he's not even in office yet.

I think the bribes they'll take will be along the lines of "after you're out of office...." or "we'll give these grants and permits to this holding company that Trump Corp will just happen to acquire after 2 years."

And I think we'll get our asses kicked in 2018. Repubs have demonstrated the ability to get out and vote during mid term elections, and Democrats haven't.

10. Keep hope alive

[Calista241]

14. I think 2006 was extraordinary. We were mired in the Iraq war and it was going badly

and that drove turnout. I hope to be pleasantly surprised 2018, but i won't be holding my breath.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Their people are more likely to vote and the House is gerrymandered.

If not for that 06 might have been worse.


I like these mid terms, a lot:

[treestar]

11. They don't care what he does

We could get some of the, by simply telling them what they need and how to get it is to elect democrats.

[B2G]

17. If we keep calling them Deplorables, zero. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. A person who countenances racism, xenophobia, anti-semitism, sexism, and misogyny is deplorable

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. 0%, if we keep calling them "Deplorables".

What % of Democrats voted for Trump because he called her "crooked Hillary"?

If I thought he kept my job from going overseas, I'd probably overlook a bit of graft and corruption

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I would literally rather die than vote for a racist, xenophobe, anti-semite, and a misogynist.

Some people's mileage varies.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. Agree, with 3 of 4

Do you think Trump is anti-semitic? Son-in-law and daughter are most-trusted advisors.

I guess I'm also not sure of this "literally rather die" thing. Being not from North Korea or Saddam's Iraq, I've never had to face that situation.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. You tell me if he's anti-semitic

"Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

-Donald Trump

That was two tropes in one; Jews are preternaturally good with money and black people aren't very smart.


Germany was a mess in 1933. The Weimar Republic was in a lot worse shape than we are today. Folks forget Hitler's National Socialist party won a plurality in the 1993 federal German elections. It was their last free elections for quite a while. I suspect some of the Germans who voted for Hitler voted for him in spite of his genocidal tendencies but vote for him they did, much to their regret.
