Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      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.

          I’d suspect no prez since the Depression has had poll #’s anywhere near this low in this kind of economy donny compares to Andrew Johnson in many ways including that neither really won a national election

          And I was pessimistic that THAT numbers would dip. I figured he’d find himself with ONLY strong (cult member) support in the 20-25% range...would completely lose regular GOPers. Encouraged to see this
