LOL, EXACTLY what was said about Obama, his healthcare plan and his supporters and yet he was still re-elected. Prepare yourself for 8 years of Trump, the Democrats have shown absolutely no intention of moving to the center or doing ANYTHING to bring back middle America. If anything they're doubling down on a failed strategy.

Obama voters are extremely loyal to him and simply ignore the lies he constantly tell. Obama knows this and caters to them every time he gets the opportunity.

Reads like a history lesson of the last 8 years.

Donald Trump has done just the opposite........more and more of the people who either did not like him before , or who were on the fence, are becoming even stronger opponents.

If the man would simply shut the Hell up, stop attacking things that do not mean anything, and act mature and Presidential, he would cause a lot of people to say "Oh well, he is in there, let's just see what happens." But he continues to pull dumba** stunts and create more problems for himself because of it.

Ya just can't polish a turd !
You can't be dumb enough to have believed this? You think by day 100 Democrats were coming around & supporting Bush? Or the Republicans softened after 100 days and started supporting Obama?

And the 93% equates to about 4.4 million who voted for him. And in the states where he won with thin margins like PA,Wisconsin, Michigan, etc... that is no bueno for him.

It is about demographic changes working against Republicans. Nothing about how many Trump voters are hanging in there to the bitter end.
Oh man, demographics changes are working against Republicans?! That was, like, groundbreaking stuff the first 5,358,984,928 times I heard about it, but man, these guys wrote the 5,358,984,929th article about that topic? These guys are really on the cutting edge!

It was supposed to happen already. A couple of little problems. White people (it's a white thing) tend to vote. Others don't so much. Blacks will vote overwhelmingly for a democrat candidate, but unless you have a black candidate, they don't turn out much. Hispanics don't vote in large numbers, don't know why. So the Democrat party becoming the anti-white party drove voters to the GOP. The democrat party running an old white lady didn't get out the minority base in Obama numbers. That's what happened.

Yep, he's no all together there but he's not an Appologist like his predecessor.

There's no one cockier than Trump. You just don't like it when a woman is confident and intelligent.
