It seems seniors, especially Men, have been loyal GOP supporters for some time now..Actually that surprised me as in my little group that was not the case, but my little group consists of a lot of North Eastern liberals..lot of Jewish folks too so I realize not the most average American demographics...but now seems all his own fault..his actions, his big mouth, his utterances...he is losing those who supported him big time in 2016 -------------------------------------------- As one former supporter...very, very long time GOP supporter said... ""At the end of the day, I want this to be a better country for my grandkids growing up. And having a president who's a pathological liar, a sociopath, a narcissist, a misogynist and a bully is not the way I want to leave this country," Copan said. "In spite of my views on the issues, I don't see any way I could support him to be president for another four years because of how he's behaved." ===================================== www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-lost-senior-advantage-could-104438826.html |

From the provided link:
"I absolutely could not vote for Hillary — had enough of the Clintons," he said. "I literally held my nose and voted for Trump. I thought it was the lesser of two evils. I just didn't realize how evil he could be."

They did a number on her, she would have been a good president. They ruined her totally.

Announcing that seniors would be okay dying for the economy and mocking people who are afraid of Coronavirus is not helping his stance with seniors. He could have gone out there and said "We love our seniors, and if everyone wears a mask, we can reopen the economy and protect them." But he didn't say that and a bunch of people over 60 are none too happy about it.

It's even worse now, he is saying this bounty is fake news and actually agreeing with putin. I really hope this sinks his sorry ass. What president would ever do that? He is commander in chief and doesn't even hold up for his troops. what a horrible, horrible individual.
putin must have some serious evidence on him, serious.

His supporters especially the older folks, won't care about people that far away. They likely don't understand international relations and their opinion is usually a repeat of whatever their favorite opinion guy says. He may lose a few military families - veterans or active duty. Although I will say, if he loses a handful of voters for every stupid thing he does, he won't have many voters left. The question is if they will vote Biden or forego choosing a viable candidate for president (either not voting or third party). Anyone who flips to Biden is worth 2 point. Anyone who doesn't vote is only worth one. |

Most of his followers in the south took the military route to escape poverty. I've heard he is even losing some of them.
This miserable nothingness needs to just disappear. The world would be better without him .

Anyone who doesn't vote is only worth one. I agree however, this is not a dumb man, just look at his staying power...he would not. IMHO, do anything now to hurt the Donalds chances of another term in office...another four years of controlling the man..getting the concessions with the Donald not in any constraints of having to consider political consequences..
{I don't believe he would be successful in getting another term}For a nation on the decline..the 2500 nucs and modern delivery systems don't hurt...Russia seems to be a major player in these games of national brinkmanship that major countries play. |
