If anything he will fortify and increase his share of the white vote. I'm I worried? Nah, but I'm mystified by some of the glee and certainty that this will surely be the end of Trump.
Yes he looks weak, yes he looks incompetent, but you misunderstand the motivations of his voters. Anger and fear to name but a few..
They're not voting for him, they're voting for what he represents.

(3,543 posts)He's got 1/3 of the country with him but the other 2/3 do not like what's going on, so no this is not good for him at all. Except for the magots people want a steady hand to guide us thru this turmoil and they know it isn't rump.

(17,912 posts)Seems many left him in 2017, when his approval dropped to where it's been since then. He has roughly 1/3 of the electorate that's solid. Nothing more. The rest of are tired of his shit and would like nothing better than to return to pre-Donnie. Joe Biden couldn't represent that more if he tried.

(37,748 posts)Confusing glee and regard.
Confusing motivation and idiocy.
Confusing your own certitude and simple prophecy.

Delusional, indeed...

(983 posts)You're confusing your own pseudo-poetic ramblings for profound philosophical analysis.
The confusion of "motivation and idiocy" is definitely an interesting one, when the two often go hand in hand.
