I do not doubt this but one thing I have really noticed is how many of us have surrounded ourselves with others totally in step with our thinking and how many people simply do not voice their opinions because they feel out of place. Its why Rs where shocked when O won in 2012 and Dems were shell-shocked when Trump won.


There are many Trump voters who are legitimately disappointed. And many who simply voted anti-Clinton but are not truly shocked by him. Every single President in my lifetime has left a wide swath of disappointed voters. Its why with the exception of '88 we haven't seen three terms from one party since FDR/Truman.

Like others here, I have yet to meet a person who regrets their vote for Trump. The media has been trying to create the narrative ever since Trump mentioned he might run. They have failed every time, and this time is no different.

I have to wonder if Trump purposely created this media circus. If he did, it worked brilliantly. With all of the nonsense put out by the MSM 24/7, if he DID do something that would make his voters regret voting for him it would likely get lost in a sea of BS.

Great observations. Trump is the ultimate expression of that sort of aberrant personality.

Here's the thing........his popularity rating can be 10% and he is still the president. The things he signs and the things he does aren't pro-rated based upon any popularity numbers.

Rarely do I see people who are posting this stuff post "Yes, we made a mistake by running Hillary". That is where the mistake was made.

By not holding Obama to any of his promises and then running Hillary we got Trump. Quit trying to blame others.

The WaPo is all about click-bait to sell ads. Gullible libs hate Trump and reliably fall for this nonsense when WaPo preaches to the choir.

Where do you think Donny's fingers were when he was bamboozling people with BS like "thousands and thousands" celebrating the 9/11 attacks in the streets of Jersey City? HOW do Trump supporters decide which fake news it is they believe? Does it merely need to come from Donny's yap or are there other qualifiers?

Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, a man worth $60 billion and a libertarian. If this is "the left" in America, it goes to show the level of oligarchy the country has become.

You guys want so badly for this to be true. For Trump voters to decide that they were wrong. I understand your frustration, but it is all your own doing. You paint him as the devil. There are so many false accusations and false stories that if you said he killed a puppy, and he really did, nobody would believe you. It falls on deaf ears. That's what happens when you cry wolf.

Try treating him like a normal President for a while, and then tell us when he kills a puppy and we might take it more seriously.

But that won't happen. Everyone is already dug in.

Seems to me that Bezos is a Globalist. I've not seen him do anything for Libertarians.
