You have way more faith in the reasoning ability of the average Trump voter than I do.

I think there’s an important distinction between a Trump voter and a Trump supporter. Living in one of the most conservative states in the country, I know plenty of both. The Trump voters I know have no love for Trump at all and those votes can be flipped. I could have seen those voters cast their vote for someone like Tim Kaine, if it’d been him leading the ticket. Basically, their votes were against Hillary, not really for Trump.
The Trump supporters, though? Yeah, most of those I know should be written off. Trump will just say it’s the liberals fault and they’ll believe it.
Dude not even Big Bird would vote for Tim Kaine. How he got elected to anything north of school board undersecretary, I have no idea.
I mean, he seems like a nice guy and everything and I don’t have any great issues with his policies. But dude has the charisma of your nerdy but well-meaning kid cousin.

That’s just it, though. I think the Trump voters I was referring to would have voted for him even with that being the case. They despised Trump, they just loathed/distrusted Hillary even more (a 20-year smear campaign will do that, I guess).
Heh, fair enough.
As usual, if the answer “because the American electorate is, on balance, fucking stupid beyond belief” can at all fit the question, it is in fact the answer.
Trump is now complaining about the “ridiculous standard” of a president’s first 100 days, having himself promised to get a bunch of things done by now. Presidenting is hard!
Who knew it would be so complicated?
You know, maybe a little less golf and a little more work, eh Mr. President?
I love it how President Tweet has all these promises made through tweets that are so easy to mock him with.
President imbecile to you sir.

AP interview.
(An aide talks about the president’s address to Congress.)
TRUMP: A lot of the people have said that, some people said it was the single best speech ever made in that chamber.
I wonder if he really believes this stuff?
The beauty of it is that it is not just him believing it, but also a lot of other, unspecified people.
Dude, he had another tweet earlier on the 16th:
Since there are literally millions who believe everything he says, he’s not wrong. This is the very essence of a fact-free worldview: mutually-reinforcing, perpetual credulity.
Trump complaining about people holding rallies after the election. Victory tour Trump. I can’t even.

He has a chance - if the economy holds up and the Dems implode over their internal divisions. Another Hillary could permanently split the Dems.
Trump has his core 35%, and I don’t think anything will shake those brainwashed sheep outside of disaster on a personal level.
This may be the Trumpest thing he’s ever said:[quote] “I’m not firing Sean Spicer,” he said, according to someone familiar with the encounter. “That guy gets great ratings. Everyone tunes in.” [/quote]
He’s great! Loads of people see him being incompetent!
