After reading through this article, I realized (as most of us here have already noticed) that there is an unprecidented number of people jumping off the Trump ship. Not just elected officials and billionaires, but regular folks who, for one reason or another, no longer are fooled by Trump.
Link to article: www.washingtonpost.com/…
So why are these people jumping ship? His temperment, Mike Pence, his views on climate change and his treatment of veterans. All of these things are self inflicted wounds, not by way of swift boating, but his own words and actions.
Here are a few samples:
Mightnifty was on a similar page. "I was a huge fan of Trump as a kid. I would watch The Apprentice and wanted to be a successful businessman like him. To have money and power and knowledge of businesses, that was my dream. Then he decided to run for president and all this crazy sh** came out of his mouth and I noped the f*** out of there."
And how about this person:
"When he and Clinton both got the nomination for their respective parties, I was actually leaning more toward Trump," Scratch_That_Itch said. "However, his denial of climate change completely changed my mind. I'm not one to get caught up in the doom and gloom of many articles about the climate changing, but there is absolutely ZERO reason not to invest time, money, and energy into renewable/cleaner power sources."
Or this:
"I knew he was unfit to be POTUS," 2ndBestUsernameEver said. "but was still going to 'protest vote' for him because I'm in a safe blue state and don't like Clinton. Him picking Pence as VP was the last straw for me because I can't justify voting for a religious zealot to have the chance of becoming POTUS.
These are all former Trump supporters, and Trump is losing them. In addition he is not adding new supporters. And this, this is why his polling numbers, in my opinion, have not even come close to the bottom.
He just cannot change, he cannot stay on message, he continues to come unhinged, and even with emails and the MSM continuing to hit Hillary, it just does not resonate with voters because of what they see with Trump. Besides Hillary is simply amazing.
Trump is swiftboating himself...and it is truly something we have never seen before, and I pray we will never see again.
