Not sure if it's been posted. I find it incredibly therapeutic to read posts from dissapointed trump voters. https://mobile.twitter.com/Trump_Regrets
It gives me hope and belief in the resilience of our country. What I am seeing is that trump is 100% focused on his most extreme base - alt right. Everything he does and tweets is pure alt right. And it's probably only 20% of his voters, if even that. Alt righters are not brave, they are predominantly online and are afraid to come out in public because of repercussions and for fear of losing their jobs. They saw how spencer was treated, even trump sort of disavowed those nazis.
The other 80% voted on jobs and (illegal) immigration! And he is not bringing it (yet). The first thing he does is muslim ban and endless controveries, scandas, lies, tweeter, putin, berating USA, etc.
I beleive those 'buyer's remorse' voters should be our strongest allies in the quest to defeat trump.

There was no "crooked Hilary".. it was Crooked & Liar trump from the beginning. Too bad the rest of the Planet has to suffer for their no information voting.

(28,340 posts)a greater portion of the right were eager to cling to. It didn't matter that the merits were demonstrably, vanishingly thin. It was something they wanted to believe, desperately.
So here we are.

(6,137 posts)they may not vote for him again (big plus) and maybe they'll vote democrat for senate and/or house in 2018?
Being vocal is already a good start. They should be on tv.

(82,849 posts)But fer crissakes, two weeks into Lord Littlehands' reign, and they're disaffected? Drain that cup of regret to the bitter dregs, Trump supporters. You have much to answer for. Then we'll talk about 2018.

(6,137 posts)If trump voters are willing to publicly admit they made a mistake - I'll take it. Like I said, they might just be our key allies in defeating trump. They may hate him even more cause he had betrayed and conned them.
