why do you expect someone who's at a trump rally after he's president to say something different?

30% of the country will be hard partisans even if he personally shows up and shoots their kids. It's a coalition of 60 million some odd people. :confused:

quote:

Ware hopes that Trump can change this, although she says she won’t fault him if he can’t. She doesn’t believe news reports saying that 24 million people could lose their coverage under his plan.

“Nothing is in concrete yet. Give the man a chance,” she said. “Until you hear it from Donald J. Trump himself — and not the news media — then don’t even worry about it. Wait until you hear the man say it, because he will tweet it, he will Facebook it or he will go onto national television and tell everybody at the same time.”

Lol this Wapost article is so good.

quote:

Ware is a landscaper and often works near Section 8 housing in the Nashville area, and she becomes furious when she sees residents who “drive better cars than I do, they have weaves and hair color better than I can, they have manicures.” As Ware, who is white, waited in line for the rally to start, a group of young African American protesters walked by, and she yelled at them, “Go cash your welfare checks!"

“He gets penalized on his income taxes, while these people that don’t know how to pull their pants up can go get it for free,” said Ware, whose employer covers the full cost of her health care. “Make it even. Make it balanced.”

that's down in the single digits to low double digits.

Bush still had supporters, and a fair number of them. Partisanship is a hell of a drug.

That said if only 30% of your district likes you you're hosed if you try to get reelected soo...

eh theres being a trump diehard then theres Post Election Trump Rally on a Weekday hardcore. I would think that maybe only half the trump diehards will actually bother with anything outside of the presidential election and thats me being generous. There are a lot of people who dont know how important congress is for getting any agenda across and thus ignore it as anything other than a scapegoat.

If I were to build a coalition with midterms in mind, the last one I would build is rural white voters with an incredibly low average education.

I don't think dems are going to win in GA-6, for instance, but the on the ground reports there have republicans at full panic.

right I mean a lot of that is going to happen regardless but I don't think it's good to seek it out

just lay out a platform, stick to it, and sell it to people. stop trying to triangulate what will best accommodate people who will not only not vote for you but also happily vote to kill themselves and you as well
