      Trump's people are invested in him. Their identities are linked to his. They know he's a mess, but he's their white knight. /2

      Even if he were to speak fluent Russian and burn the WH tomorrow, they'd say he was driven to it by Jim Acosta. They have to, now. /3

      Some of them will finally peel away as this gets worse, but others will double and triple down, and never admit they made a mistake. /4

      Partly, because Hillary is the backstop. They'll never admit this mistake b/c for them, it's not. For them, this is still better than HRC /5

      And partly because it's going to infuriate them for the rest of their voting lives that Trump imploded, which they'll blame on others. /6

      I don't know how many. But 20 years from now, there will be old people with Trump pictures in their nursing home room. Count on it. /7

      These people are no more reasonable than Clinton cultists. The ones who tell you that HRC was fine, honest, a victim, blah blah blah. /9

      In the same way, they invested their identities in her, and can't admit what a bad call it was to do that. They'll revere her forever. /10

      None of those cultists of either person can be reasoned with. No point in it. Centrists from both parties will have to put this together /11

      I was with you on this thread till here: the Hillary people are the centrist in the Democratic party!

          In terms of policy, yes, but not in terms of reasonableness about their icon.

          Even the most tempered conservatives have distorted perceptions about Hillary fans. Bernie has a cultish following, Hil has supporters.

          And also, to be fair to a lot of Hillary people, many of them have climbed well down from their pre-election position of hero-worship.
