A question for Trump supporters
Sources say his campaign is falling apart, staffers are on the outs, him and Ryan are at odds, him and Manafort are at odds.
I said it before - he won't win. I bet my life on it.

I was talking to Elizarags and some other friends about this and I personally don't see him quitting the race because he is too damn prideful - I don't think he could ever stand that kind of humiliation or lose face like that. Although if he did quit, it would present an interesting conundrum of who would then become the GOP candidate and how it would play it from there. Is it the runner up, do they re-vote, etc.
I don't think he would drop out either. I think if/when he loses, he will try everything possible to fight it and claim it was rigged, etc.
He's already establishing that excuse. He's expecting to lose, so he's sewing up his golden parachute.
This -- not sure if he thinks he is going to lose but he is already coming up with the excuses why if he does lose it was rigged

A question for Trump supporters
I'll bite.
I was never ever a trump supporter. But I was on the fence.
I really dislike HRC on a bunch of key things. I also really really dislike turmp on key things.
Last night, his remark about the purple heart. That finished him off for me.
I listened to the WHOLE thing, and trust me, I think he didn't mean " I always wanted one" or "this was so much easier", but the reality is, he should have put that purple heart back on that vet and shook his hand. He just speaks, he doesn't think. This was a much easier way to get a purple heart?! Hes got problems.
Adding: My husband fought for our freedom, 2 tours in Iraq and has a purple heart. He damn well earned it, and NOBODY should want it. He has night terrors 2-3 times a week due to his injuries and his time at war.
So yes, there was a turning point for ME. But I am not sure there will be for most of his supporters.

Please thank your husband for his service. I'm so sorry he is experiencing that.

Re: A question for Trump supporters

Without trashing either candidate - which is very easy to do but not the OP's question - I will go out on a limb and list a few of Trump's views that appeal to me:
1. Decrease foreign spending and refocus money on America! People are constantly raving about how other countries have "free" healthcare and "free" college and yearlong paid maternity leave, etc. Yeah well maybe those countries can afford it because the USA is the one spending billions defending them. Maybe we would have those things too if other countries contributed their fair share to the pot. Hillary even said in her speech she plans to continue defending everyone.
2. If there is any possible chance of reversing the nightmare that has been Obamacare, Im all over it. My premiums and deductibles have tripled and it is laughable its called the "affordable" care act. I am all for not excluding based on pre-existing conditions but the ACA went way, way beyond that with all its pork fat. Hillary is pro-ACA.
3. Government has stuck its neck far too much up the ass of private businesses. Period. Its impossible to start a successful business due to all the requirements and forced costs and so less people do it. And then people want to know why nothing is made in the USA. Yes Im aware Trump does business with China. However I do feel he believes in less government intrusion into small businesses.
4. Immigration reform. Come on, any way you slice it, theres a problem. Do I think building a wall is an answer? No. Do I think he can actually build a wall? No. But the first step is recognizing there is a problem. Hillary sort of tiptoes around this.
I just dont believe in the "tax and spend" mentality. And I dont believe in a nanny state. I think as a country we should give people the TOOLS they need to succeed and then LET THEM succeed! We all know the story about giving a man a fish vs teaching a man to fish.
And lastly, I do not think it is in any way a good thing to have mostly liberal SCOTUS justices. Nor to have them all be conservative. We NEED to have justices representing all areas across the spectrum. To hear each other out in order to best enforce the Constitution, rather than rewrite it.
My thoughts exactly! Well said..

While I agree with some of this.. He is right.. the system is rigged.

Re: A question for Trump supporters
I am the OP. Thank you for sharing, that was exactly what I was getting at with my post. What would make you turn your back on him. And thank you to your husband for his service. :(

Re: A question for Trump supporters
Fox News had the most recent poll with Trump behind by 10 points now. I guess people are watching the news recently. Trump had a pretty bad week what with the Khan family fiasco, losing support from some GOP members and dissing Ryan.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html
What I would like to ask Trump supports is, would you still vote for Trump if the most of the GOP decide NOT to back him? More of them are distancing themselves from him and even going so far to say they won't vote for Trump now.

I feel like that won't hurt him as much as you think. I think a lot of his base likes that he isn't "establishment" and the GOP not supporting him goes hand in hand with that.

The RNC could legally dump him - people are already floating that idea.
DH & I were talking about this last night and Trump dropping out makes me concerned. So many people hate Hillary (Republicans and Bernie supporters) that DH hypothesizes that if the RNC dumps Trump and puts up someone else - anyone else - that they would win b/c of their hate for Hillary. I don't have my head in the sand about some of the stuff Hillary has done, but I definitely don't want a Republican to win and allow the Supreme Court to change basic human rights.

You don't even know who that potential candidate would be, how can you say that you'd hate for them to win?
Every candidate is different

Re: A question for Trump supporters
I feel like Kasich, McCain or Romney could potentially beat Hillary. Not so sure about Cruz, etc. I would like Hillary to win so I am hoping that Trump stays in the race. This whole situation is crazy though and Trump does have a lot of followers...
