I think Thump’s first big attempt to end the ACA was a “Holy C$@p! I voted for this???” moment for a slice of his voting block. A core will remain, but as Mac and Bubba learn that that billionaire whom they think talks like they do doesn’t give a rat’s rump about them, more will fall away.

What worries me is that the getting-of-wisdom process for reachable Trump voters won’t be far along enough for 2018.
