      Here's the thing abt Trump's base. They're only going to stick with him so long as he can maintain appearance of sticking it to the elites, of being a winner. That appearance has the possibility of changing quickly.https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/1033008635482398720 …

      That will change even more quickly and violently (in all senses of the word) if Trump's followers believe he tricked them.

      To be clear: I don't think the guilty status of his aides will do Trump in with his true believers. But when he begins to look weak -- as the legal challenges to the Trump brand may do -- that will sour his supporters.

          I was struck that this poll has his strong approval down to 18%

          That's why I commented. Those who no longer strongly support him will abandon quickly, I think.

          His supporters are far fewer than you think...70% of a party representing less than 27% of the American populace...is barely a base...

          The media always focuses on the aspect that causes the most stir...the most vitriol reaction so his base gets attention because of it...it’s about $$ and views...reality in the Country across all spectrums is a completely different dynamic which will yield the historical standard

          Also they repeat the canard about X% of Republicans support him which is more than Y% of Republicans who supported Reagan (or whoever for comparison). Without accounting for those no longer identifying with the GOP because of Toddler, such comparisons are worse than meaningless.

          That one's because they don't have any hard numbers on how many are in/out of GOP.

          But then they always end up voting that way.

          Because we commented on @emptywheel 's post and are now being targeted with some unaccountable psyop bs by desperate, genuinely pro-trump morons/bots/both - change in tactics means we're winning I guess.

          All Trumpers in that pic in 2016 are Indians (an Indian co-worker of mine was in that crowd). They love Trump and they're smart. That's an example of his wide appeal. Love, not hate. See below:https://youtu.be/IKkej2HDHIs
