Reluctant Trump voters losing faith: ‘I hope he wakes up and realizes’ we are ‘no longer supporting him

Trump supporters — especially those who voted for the Republican candidate because they didn’t like Hillary Clinton — are starting to express some doubts about their choice.

Although most of his base supporters seem to agree with Trump that the Russia investigation is a “witch hunt,” some of his voters are concerned about the scandal that’s engulfing his administration and stalling the Republican agenda, reported the Wall Street Journal.

“If they are looking into him obstructing justice, that’s a tough one to hear,” said Jennifer King, a Republican voter who works as church secretary in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The 31-year-old mother of two isn’t sure she’ll vote for Trump again because she feels he’s broken his promises to protect Medicaid, pursued trade policies that could hurt the dairy industry and immaturely attacked his opponents.

“Maybe all these temper tantrums are part of his bigger plan,” King said. “I don’t feel bad I voted for him. Whether I will vote again for him in the next election, I don’t know.”

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that four in 10 Trump voters backed the real estate developer and former reality TV star because of they disliked Clinton, and not because they liked him or his policies.

I ran into this person I know the other day, a tRump voter.

Not sure if said person is still a tRump supporter or not BUT, barely recognized said person.

Their hair was a completely different color (went from white to dark brown).

Seems hiding out is one option for these losers and having plastic surgery could be an option as well!

Baloney. She does know. If he runs again she'll vote for him again. Dumb enough to once, in the face of all the overwhelming evidence that she shouldn't, she's dumb enough to do it twice.

She's surprised that he's "immaturely attacking his opponents" as president? I guess she didn't notice his ENTIRE CAMPAIGN!!

good and well the Trump Russia investigation is not a witch hunt. They know he is guilty,but they will never admit it.

including her own - by pretending she wouldn't vote for him again.

She worked up a rationale for voting for him to begin with, she'll work up another one for doing so again.

The only people more delusional than Trump are his supporters.

.. cannot wipe out the people of dumbfukistan.

Hopefully the next democratic president we have will executive order the fuk out of congress and get rid of the electoral college for good.

Meanwhile, Russia is going to up their game considering the amount of success they've had during the last election. That's not going to stop anytime soon.

And remember this, anyone?

With the continual, relentless underhandedness that the Republicans undertake 'without' accountability, it is going to be an uphill battle for us.

Who delved into this 'Rudy Giuliani' issue? He slipped under the radar!

Who holds the Republicans accountable or pressed Kevin Mcarthy after he admitted that Benghazi was a farce to discredit Clinton? No one brings this up anymore. We need to throw these issues back at the Trump voters. Surely someone can out fox these lemmings in public, for all to see
