For 45's followers, living in the faux-hannity bubble, this WILL break through for the 1st time.

Honestly, his die-hard followers probably have never heard of any stormy or russia news, but now they will.

I predict this is going to be the avelanche that errodes his support into the 20's, where congress can no longer support him or ignore the news.

To them it will have nothing to do with Trump. He knew nothing about it. Another frame job by the DemoCRATS.

And on, and on, and on.

Another ignorant post in the same thread. It ignores the "donations in kind" rule that applies to campaigns and appears to not know of the parallel payments from RNC to tRump Org and from tRump Org to Cohen:
Trump better wake up and realize this is a war. Mueller needs to be fired forthwith. There is zero reason to seize any records regarding Daniels, other than to embarrass the President. Even if he slept with her, the payment to her is nothing more than a legal settlement just like an NDA. The media will crucify Trump either way, but the people will back him.

5. No chance

I was at my aunt's house late this afternoon, helping her with a household matter. She is a Republican. She always has the local affiliate on television in her living room. We watched a bit of it, including the brief mention of the Cohen raid.

She had no reaction at all. She doesn't associate Cohen with Trump. He may be a bad guy but Trump is the one who will save her from rapists crossing the border and gays kissing in the pew in front of her at church.

That's the way the other side thinks. There is no such thing as Trump approval dipping into the 20s.

For the longest time I was confused about how they were completely aware of certain issues and oblivious to others. But now I understand that their leaders (media personalities on the radio & Fox News) are the gatekeepers. If one of their leaders talks about it, then they will learn about it. But it will be presented to them from a biased perspective, of course.

Have you ever seen video of cult members when they are first "rescued"? Go back and look at old footage of the Manson Family. They were out there parading in the street, holding vigil, and completely oblivious to the horrible crimes that Manson had orchestrated. It took months of intensive effort to "deprogram" Family members. Trump supporters listen to Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh, etc... so I would also suggest, if you can stomach it, that you listen to those shows to see what they are covering (likely not the raid) or if so how they are covering it.

Trump's die hard supporters are likely not hearing about this situation or are already believing that it is part of some conspiracy to destroy his "good work".

I don't see his base shrinking beyond the 30% mark, though I would love to be wrong.

It's best to accept that the vast majority of Trump supporters are unreachable.

That's why you keep hearing the word "witch hunt" over and over again as well as the invocation of Hillary Clinton. Those are terms that really fire his racist, sexist base up.

Anyone stupid enough to support the Tangerine Idi Amin this far is A True Believer, immune to fact, reason, logic, and reality.

They’ll just bellow about Deep State Coups and threaten a 2nd Amendment Solution.

to him, and I don't foresee a lot of trump devotees abandoning him either.

I watched a documentary on Mussolini the other night. The film footage and photos showing what happened to him were really something.
