Every president will have ride or die supporters, even Nixon's floor was around 40% during Watergate. All the fuss about Trump diehards is mostly coming from liberals who are continually surprised that stupid people exist

Trump won because of low Dem turnout (who are now energized against him) and support from independents (who are now turning on him). There is no massive silent majority of Trumper shitheads protecting him.

This is how Republicans are reacting to Trump:


They're perfectly happy with him and have no reason whatsoever to get rid of him.

Exactly. We have no allies on the right right now, nor will we for the near future if ever again. Every one of them are jackals that need a kicking, and their supporters and everybody with a positive view of them or Trump deserve the same.

Don't be fooled with this fake or passing concerns about whatever Trump does. There's a reason he and the rest of the GOP are ignoring them, it's because they'll vote for them no matter what. These are the same people who called bipartsan bank-loving centrist Dem Obama a super liberal Muslim Kenyan destroyer of America and bringer of darkness and antichrist

if you think trump is in a strong position but can't explain why flynn was given the boot then you need to reevaluate your premises.

here's another riddle for you: if trump is so strong why doesn't he just force the fbi, cia, etc end their investigation into the russia connections? they ultimately fall under the executive branch and everyone in power thinks russia is the tits now, so why degrade himself with angry tweets when he could just make it all go away? you know our BFF putin would never allow his own intelligence agents to investigate him, i guess donald is just a really strong believer in rule of law and avoiding conflict of interest!

Why are people saying the GOP likes Trump? They like a Republican appointing SCOTUS justices and nothing more. Trump is just as much of a disgrace to the Republican Party as he is to the country.

5 out of 6 living GOP presidential nominees didn't endorse him and told people not to vote for him. This is something that actually happened before the election.

The first is a CPAC straw poll. The second doesn't crosstab or define its likely party questions, meaning it's got people who are identifying as non-Republican who are, in fact, Republicans.

Epic High Five posted:

Lmao if you actually believe a supermajority of Republicans aren't 100% on board with Trump

Just lmao

You think these people are guided by ethical concerns or have any standards that they apply to both Dems and Reps?

Trumps lovely polling is a result of 95% of non republicans hating him. The modern GOP has never been a part of anything good and they sure as hell aren't starting now

All of the screaming on Twitter has taught me one thing: whatever good will or charity that the modern Republican voter had is now gone, and nobody will mourn them if they die. Because at this point, they would do the same to us, and they're far too stupid to save themselves.

I would feel bad about feeling this way, but gently caress them. They vote for Trump, and now they get to pay. The nation is better off without those loving idiots.
