Face the Nation: more dumb Trump voters

It's become stale. Go out and locate Trump voters, and find out if they would still vote for him. Spoiler alert - they would! Our latest installment - Face the Nation! This time they were in New Hampshire. Now I have to admit, John Dickerson had them saying what a liar and moral degenerate Trump was at the end. Not that they would change their votes. You see, the fact that Trump lies all the time and is no kind of role model for the nation is A-OK! The stock market is great (even though one woman admitted things had not trickled down to her). Trump is not a bully, he's a tough businessman! Yada yada yada.

It is strange to see the mass delusion that Trump is somehow competent. No matter what he does, his voters can't wrap their minds around the idea they were conned. Best to blame his horrible performance on Congress, Hillary, Bill, and those rotten Democrats.

one degree or another. And that includes the more educated and more affluent ones.

Regardless of the reasons they give for why they're with Trump, the real reason is that the vast majority of them are racists. But most of them will never admit it out loud so they give a laundry list of other reasons.

Our Corporate Media is trying to justify their full on support of Trump and the GOP. Notice who they choose for their Polling,Gallop,Rasmusson,and other Winger polling firms. And the Networks have their local Stations keep their working Focus Groups in tack just to keep their chosen Narrative alive.

When these afore mentioned Corporations get their pound of flesh in the form of mega Tax Breaks,then this Narrative will change to some Stupid Turd Crosswise Story.

5. Well, the Republican Congress does deserve its fair share of the blame.

While I get that it is dumb to blame Obama and Hillary, the Congress has been held by the GOP for how many years now? The last 3 years. They deserve all the blame they get.

I have one question. If he isn’t a bully, name me someone who is. I just want to get a hint of what they think constitutes bullying behavior if tRump does not.

Not to trivialize this subject, but when I think of a bully, I think of Bluto from Popeye cartoons or Butch from The Little Rascals. That is until tRump came along.
