Do you have a story/evidence of Trump voters waking up?

I'm waiting and watching, and I see snippets of evidence in this and that post. I'd love to collect such stories in one place. Do you have one? Unfortunately, I don't. Haven't seen anything on TV or read anything and I am not aware of knowing any Trump voters.

In particular, are Trump voters part of the vocal crowds at the town hall meetings?

His core supporters will stay with him to the bitter end. And then some. His hard core fans will not be swayed by facts, global issues or proven instances of fraud or incompetence. He is their guy to say screw you to everyone else.

It's kinda eerie 'cause I think they're wanting Pence so they can get their theocracy on.

Good - Some people are re-thinking in the face of insanity.

Bad - Some people are re-thinking because Trump seems to have backed off of some of his (ridiculous) promises.

...that are right leaning and they seem to be coming around. That is not to say that they have abandoned Trump. However, they express frustration that their President is obsessed with Twitter. They wish that someone would take his phone away.
