Baby steps. Talked to a 75 year old life long Republican today that told me Trump is nuts.

[Midnight Writer]

He said no one is in charge, he's appointed a bunch of nincompoops that can't handle their jobs, and we'd be better off without a President than to have trump in there.

This guy is not a Limbaugh Republican, more of a Main Street Republican, who votes Red because his parents did, his brothers and sisters do, and he belongs to a conservative church.

But no more. He's had enough.

First time I've ever heard a negative word about Trump from him, and he brought it up himself. He seemed pretty fired up.

A Republican switches here, another one there, and pretty soon you are looking at a landslide for the Democrats.

1. Thanks.

2. Ask him how he would like having his SS check cut by a 1/3rd

That is about 15 years away without any changes. With Trump's proposal regarding payroll taxes, then it would be 5 years closer after a year of no one paying in.

3. They know he's nuts.

But they will still vote for him.

What do we do with that?

4. I'm sorry. Their talk is proverbially cheap.

What happens in the privacy of the voting booth is another story and the true test. They need to not only stop voting for Trump, but also straight down-ticket Republicans all the way to dog-catcher. I just don't have any faith or trust in Republicans. I hope I am proven wrong.

5. As I say one at a time.

6. Bill Maher

Tell me if I misspelled his name, never wanted a lockdown to take place in America.

He totally believes in herd immunity, without putting himself in a position to practice such.

Why do so many of you believe in him?

[Midnight Writer]

8. I don't "believe in him". He is an entertainer, a clown, like a reality show star or something.

9. Ugh...he's become so annoying

He carries on about the ‘lockdown’. My response is did you see what happened in the NY metro area and does he have any concept of what would’ve happened without a lockdown? Does he think that would’ve been good for the economy?

Then the woman claiming if you haven’t eaten sees oil then you’ve got nothing to worry about from the virus.

And finally the inane if Trump loses then he isn’t leaving. Leave or not, he won’t be president.

7. I don't necessarily want a landslide--I just want a burial......

tRump 20 feet under , with the rest of the GOPee on top of him, covered by the proper mixture of clay and cement.

10. Net 2 votes for Dems!!

Each 2016 Trump voter switch to Biden 2020 is a net 2 votes!! I'm going out on a limb here and say we can count on one hand the other way around. (Hillary 2016 to Trump 2020)

Thanks for posting. Great to hear these real life examples!!

[LiberalFighter]

11. Exactly. The numbers will all add up.

And not just from people like him. Also, people working in positions controlled by Republicans are also finding supporting him challenging.

12. Can you imagine being a Congressman's aide at the hometown office getting questioned on Trump tweets

13. You don't have to become a Democrat to vote for a Democrat

Just like you don't have to become a Republican to vote for a Republican. If your party goes off the deep and and nominates a nut-case catastrophe, you vote for the other guy. It doesn't mean you're turned traitor to your principles--on the contrary, it means you HAVE principles that are not for sale or compromise.

MY OWN first vote ever was for a Republican. It was the 1971 vote for mayor of Philadelphia. The long-entreched (and thoroughly corrupt) Democratic city machine nominated the oafish (and therefore completely manipulable) police chief, Frank Rizzo. The guy was a disgusting piece of work. The Republicans nominated a mild-mannered bureaucrat, Thatcher Longstreth. I voted for Longstreth (he lost). It was the ONLY time I ever voted for a Republican, but I was happy to do it.

A guy who liked to boast of whacking students with his nightstick, Rizzo was one nasty asshole. To prove it, in case there were any lingering doubts, soon after the election, he switched to the Republicans, went down to DC for some photo ops with Nixon, and started to build a $400,000 house on a $40,000 a year salary. Construction was halted (at least temporarily) when questions arose as to where the money was coming from. I never found out what happened to the house.
