    You didn't have to expand it to read the part the dispels your whole paragraph. The bold part says GOP women.

    Given that Fox News is in an open alliance with Trump, I think anything that comes from them has to be thrown out the window at this point.

    The biggest indicator isn’t polling around those women who self identify as loyal Republicans who support Trump. It’s polling around how many women are self identifying as Republicans in the first place.

    That number has dropped quite a bit based on virtually all the polls.

    Trust me.. I know plenty of diehard Trumper women in my own family. If you think they are leaving Trump for anything you are dead wrong. The only problem for Trump is that those who are now self identifying as Republicans are now only his hardcore base. This base that views Trump as a cult leader more than anything. They tie religion with their policy. They are focused on the culture war against the evils of liberalism.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of his term his support among self identifying Republican women is 99.9%. Because the only ones left are the ones in the cult to begin with.

    ....

    My only question about those in the middle or traditional Republicans who aren’t in the cult... will they come back home and vote for Trump as a “lesser of two evils” again if the GOP propaganda arm is able to bloody up the Dem opponent in 2020 like they did to Hillary the past two decades?? That might be the best indicator that the Dems are better off with a lesser known name who is seen as fresh. It’s a fact that those suburban white conservatives who aren’t in the Trump cult and even some Latinos might still vote for Trump if the Trump is allowed to be perceived as the “lesser of two evils” by the upcoming portrayal of the nominee.

    Point of that being - do not run Bernie or Elizabeth Warren in 2020 please. Those women who don’t identify as Republicans Trumpers will be a huge risk to hold their noses and vote for Trump as “lesser of two evils” in their minds.

    With the constant societal barrage of anyone who supports Trump its akin to being an outcast telling people
    you are a Trump supporter in many regions.

    Trump was propelled to victory by people who aren't traditional voters, many who feel that the corporatist style
    system of big governments and organizations has left them in the dust. They're not people who poll, tell others
    their opinion or blog about it and they don't even vote in mid-term elections. But in a general election they'll come
    out in support. I believe a lot of people will as he has done what he said he was going to do (with exception to
    the Wall). He has attempted to decrease the size and control of government, lowered taxes and reduced
    regulations.

    If the left wing of the Democrats put up a socialist like they probably will, I think he will win again.

    I typically like some of the southern democrats as socially open and not fascists that think all control and
    decision making must be made by the intelligencia and that business is all evil. But Trump has changed the
    dems so they've become extreme in light of him. Think in their hysteria they'll pick some nutjob and Trump
    will pound them worse then Hillary.

    Also the fact that for YEARS all we've heard is Russian Collusion, Russian Collusion, Russian Collusion,
    and if it ends up being that Trump paid off a few women to be quiet people will be pissed and come out
    in force.

    As a trump supporter you should be forced to wear a scarlet letter T...

    Seriously, the evidence of serious criminal activity is growing, but are you saying that bribing women with hush money to avoid losing the election isn't a serious offense?

    Also seriously, you don't think trump supporters blog? Half of the supporting content posted hear come from conservative bloggers.

    Hopefully, these non-traditional voters have learned their lesson after making this colossal mistake.

    We will see in 2020, but generally I do not have high confidence in the American voters, they are too easily manipulated.

    The key is to look at what Trump has done for bitcoin confidence. I made a little bit of money flipping coins today.

    Billionaires got their tax cut. Evangelicals got their Judge. Why would anyone other than the borderline personality disorders support an ill-prepared, capricious, narcissist with outstanding conspiracy charges and dubious connections to competing countries? I understand Conservatives, and as long as they don't cheat (gerrymandering, propaganda, dark money) I think compromise with them makes a strong country.

    But this goofy mother****er? nah, ya'll stupid.

    Yes, let's force them to wear something so we can socially outcast them! Don't worry, it's the Trump supporters who are nazlis and Trump is Orange Dorito Hitler. We are the anti-fascists...
