So much for 95% of his support staying with him. His own base is wising up. Doodley May 2017 #5

I had an encounter with a brain dead trumpet a few days ago. This guy tried to convince me that Turnips plan is to destroy and "get rid of the people in congress."


I informed him that congress critters can't be fired because they are elected by the people. He honestly thought Drumpf could fire them.

The scary part is this guy is at least 50 and has no clue that he is wishing for a dictatorship. As much as I want to laugh...I'm equally terrified.



Edit to add: Happened in suburb of Memphis, TN if that tells you what it's like living in a blue corner of a red state.

When 1 out of 4 members of your own party don't want you in office, that's very bad.

He will eventually get back to 38 percent.

That's OK. If he is in the high 30s come 2018 we have great chance of taking back the House, gerrymandering not-withstanding.

More importantly, we have a great chance of winning a whole lot of governorships and state legislatures and undoing the gerrymandering.

to distinguish narcissists from dedicated public servants, their own economic self-interest
from television personalities, sound public policy from hollow promises

Perhaps due to the hatred whipped up by Faux News, or just plain advertising

It's as if these people are not in control of their own minds

Russia orchestrated propaganda? How about our own domestic sources?

to misinform the base and keep them riled up - truth will slowly break thru and that 38% number will continue to fall.
