Our best case scenario is coming true

[font size=6]Trump Leads His Base Into Battle as GOP Civil War Breaks Out[/font]

WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP, Penn. — Over the weekend, dozens of Republican leaders publicly renounced Trump over a 2005 tape of him boasting about groping women, with many openly demanding the party replace him.

Angie Stroud, 52, knows every single one of their names.

Waiting for a Trump rally here, Stroud said she keeps an updated list on Facebook for her fellow Trump supporters to reference.

"I won't vote for any of them," she said. "The only thing worse than a Democrat is a Republican who acts like a Democrat."


So now we know, Trumps base will NOT be voting for down-ticket Republicans, and that can only mean a bigger victory for the Dems.

1. Every day Trump and Co. are bashing fellow Republicans, is a little less heat applied to Hillary

That this could be the proverbial perfect storm.
Perhaps this horrific yam can redeem itself after all.

4. It was funny: one of Trumps supporters, on FB, called themselves the "silent majority."

Two problems with that self-title: silent and majority.

7. Someone should play mind games and tell them to write-in an alternate name instead of the GOP

candidate.

Don't let them know that in many states, the deadline to officially register write-in names has gone.

Thus, if a person was to write-in a name, it is the same as leaving it blank because the name likely won't be on the official write-in list, thus it will be discarded.

8. From the article, Angie Stroud wants the names of Republicans...

...who aren't supporting Trump.

Well, I want the names of these imbecile voters who continue to support that asshole. I want to make sure I never inadvertently interact with or do business with any of them again. Go ahead and hate Hillary Clinton all you want, at least she is qualified to be president. The orange turd is transparently unqualified in every respect and his supporters double down with each new revelation only to further prove their complete stupidity. How in the hell do these morons remember to breathe?
