    We can all read the numbers, we just don’t buy it. There is literally no amount of polling that will convince me his base is abandoning him. He could rape their children in front of them and they’ll still vote for him.

    The problem is this type of message is gonna be used to justify going after his base. Appealing to them. Usually with rascist and homophobic rhetoric. Liberals will gleefully rip away trans rights if we let them think it’ll work.

      3% is huge in the political world. I think everyone is going around trying to be cheat-proof and not worrying about his base at this point. Trump knows it, have you see his hair lately? He looks like he might be tearing it out.

        You’re missing the point. There is no amount of depravity from which his base will join you. It will never happen. At best they will stay home. But they’ll probably just show up and vote for him anyway come the day.

        More importantly in your effort to pursue these God damn monsters, these putrid pieces of pestilence, you lose double the amount on the other end. That’s the problem with chasing deplorable people. You become deplorable in the effort.
