Trump Voters in a Swing District Wonder When the Winning Will Start

BENSALEM, Pa. — One after another, the gamblers totter along the twisting walkway, bathed in artificial purple light — burdened, at least occasionally, by the instinct that they should have known better.

Usually, this pathway outside Parx Casino is reserved for self-flagellation, a private lament at the last hundred lost. But lately, as with most any gathering place around here since late January — the checkout line, the liquor store, the park nearby where losing lottery numbers are pressed into the mulch — patrons have found occasion to project their angst outward, second-guessing a November wager.

“Just like any other damn president,” sighed Theresa Remington, 44, a home-care worker and the mother of two active-duty Marines, scraping at an unlit cigarette. She had voted for Donald J. Trump because she expected him to improve conditions for veterans and overhaul the health care system. Now?

“Political bluster,” Ms. Remington said, before making another run at the quarter slots. She wondered aloud how Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont might have fared in the job.

suckers

[we can do it]

1. Let them feel the most pain from their stupidity.

2. Please remember these folks aren't the real assholes out there

They just got fooled by a corrupt media and a bunch of slick Russians who targeted Clinton. Getting fooled isn't a terrible sin, it's something to be pitied. That brick wall is falling, the bricks hitting them one by one, and I can feel a little sorry for them for this one. They're learning a harsh lesson about Republicans and I think it will stay with them.

The ones I despise are the smug bastards who still consider themselves smart for their Asshole vote because they think he's gonna get all them Messcans and Muzzies out of our country once and for all, then he'll start on them Afficans or whatever they're callin themselves these days and maybe even the Jooz and then this will be a great country again, just like he promised. Oh, and put the little woman back in her place, too, they're sick of getting their suppers late because she got stuck in traffic on the way home from her job. That's his solid support base and they're despicable.

The folks who just plain got fooled? Not so much. They're going to be harder to fool the next time.

3. The winning has started

For Trump and the rest of the 1%. People like you don't count in Trumplevania.

4. If they have the brains to count a stack of chips,

the degree of ignorance displayed in this whiny, everyone-at-fault-but-me complaining is inexcusable. Just reading the posted opening was painful and irritating.
