Democrats dislike Trump more than Republicans like him

I’ve seen lots of interviews with Trump voters. The networks should not forget that there are millions of us who hate him. I hope he dies in jail.

This is an excellent thread.

Great thread about how Dems dislike Trump more than Reps like him https://t.co/mNbneQ3As0

36% of Republicans and 36% of Trump 2016 voters think LEGAL immigrants are a “burden to the country” (POL19).

LEGAL immigrants.

Illegal immigration wasn’t why they were obsessed with this.

Americans support gun control

Polls show that about 90% support universal background checks and about 2/3 support an assault rifle ban. It’s too bad that the Republican party cares more about what the NRA thinks than what voters want. Vote them out.

The majority of Republicans approve of Trump’s racist tweets

82 percent of Republicans agree with Trump’s racist tweets. Once again:

All Trump supporters are:

racists or
willing to tolerate racism

This problem won’t go away once Trump is gone. The Republican Party is now the party of racism. Very few Republican legislators criticized Trump’s tweets.

New CBS poll:

By 59-40, Americans disagree with sentiments in Trump's attacks on nonwhite lawmakers

That includes 58% of *independents*

Trump needs polls showing he is ahead in order to claim the election is rigged if he loses

Trump is upset about his own internal polls showing he is losing. Of course, it’s a long time until the election and polls don’t mean much now.

Trump will almost certainly claimed the election was rigged if he loses. However, his claim will look weak if his totals look like the polls. For example, if he is expected to get 47% and he gets 47%, it will be hard for him to make a case that he was cheated.

However, if he is expected to get 52% (and he will find or make up a poll that says that) and he only gets 47%, he will say he was cheated.

Some interesting notes on a new Fox News poll

And the Make America Stable Again crowd is even larger (77-20) among Dems over 45>>

It is obvious that Trump cult members don’t care about ethics.

Anomaly or an early indicator? The new Fox Poll puts support for #ImpeachTrump at 50% between the 43% that want to impeach and remove him and 7% that would impeach but not remove. That exceeds the 48% who would not impeach at all.
