      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 …

      I live in a deeply red zone. The flaw in your logic is that his base doesn’t hate wealthy elites, they want to be one. They think he is helping them be rich. It’s the prosperity gospel

      Nothing you say addresses my point, in the least. He's not going to help them be rich if his empire collapses as a sham.

          Those of you that aren’t exposed to his base on a daily basis don’t get it. They aren’t going to turn on him no matter what Mueller is able to get from his inner circle. They think it’s the deep state out to get him, and they will stick with him because he beat Hillary, period.

          I’m not talking about swing voters. The rust belt voted for Obama. I’m talking about his base, the people whose hatred for Obama, Hilary and all things liberal colors their ability to see anything else.

          Neither was emptywheel. Obama and HRC aren't liberals. They're pro-choice, Wall Street Republicans. Among the reasons HRC lost, Obama's DOJ didn't indict one Wall Street CEO. The voters you're tweeting about--maybe 35 percent of the electorate--don't swing presidential elections.

          Also, I’m well aware of Obama & HRC’s policies, which is why I wasn’t a huge fan of either one of them. They weren’t progressive in my opinion.
