Trump voters will be around after he’s gone

Well, now Donald Trump says he is unchained, free now to run his campaign any way he wants without acting all civilized. That’s almost amusing.

What isn’t amusing is that he has a lot of followers, and they and their concerns will still be here after the election next month. I’m assuming he isn’t going to win, though it’s been hard to be sure of much in this election cycle.

Reporters fanned out to check his base after all the excitement over a video of Trump saying despicable things about women and his actions with, or rather against, women. His base stood by him. And on Wednesday it was revealed that several women — including Miss Washington 2013 — say Trump groped them.

Remember when he said he could shoot someone down in the street and his core would stick with him? I thought maybe he was exaggerating a bit, but it sure doesn’t look like it. Anyone who wasn’t of like mind would have quit on him long ago.

But sometimes it’s still surprising how far people will go to justify their support of him. Susan Hutchison, former television journalist and current head of the Washington state Republican Party, had a moment in the spotlight. Her response to criticisms of Trump talking about groping women was to tweet: “Donald Trump’s indecent comments in 2005 (11 yrs ago) — were made when he was a Democrat.” He was just following Bill Clinton’s lead, she said. The current Republican version of Trump wouldn’t be so vile, right?

3. That is the problem.

About 35% of the American population is hopelessly bigoted, stupid, crude, and violent. They say Dump speaks for them. Now all can see just what they are.

5. I don't think the percentage is that high...

But there a fair number of born followers who will follow any damn parade walking down the street. Just like in Germany in 1936.

4. They were there 4 years ago and will be there in 2020

They hate losers like McCain & Romney so they'll hate Don Caligula and calm down, go through the same depression each time they lose, then they'll start over again for the mid-terms. Nothing new. They never learn from the fact that Republicans can't gerrymander presidential elections.

Their demographics is shrinking so, maybe there's a little light in the dark there.
