Republicans against Trump

[Ben_Natuf]

is this while he sniffs the kids playing in his leg hair?

[PhillyGuy]

Yes. With 5% of Republicans anti Trump, can still be several that are against him. Great majority still for him though.

Sen. Sherrod Brown says GOP senators fear crossing President Donald Trump would result in his attacking them on Twitter or campaigning against them.

Why should they care about that if Trump was not popular among most Republicans? The fact is for the Republican politicians who came out against Trump, their popularity dropped so bad among Republican voters they either chose not to run again or got voted out.

Perfectly, fine for you to not like Trump, but that is small minority among Republicans.

So that must mean you’ve left the R-Party because of President Trump to join the D-Party cesspool filth of socialism, or a “make America decline again” third party?

Nope. I’m not the type of sheeple to limit myself to two choices. I’m an independent, which leaves me free to vote for actual conservatives - even though they have to operate outside of the 2 party system now if they are to retain their conservative values.

I thought he’d be my personal suppository in the anus of the U.S. known as DC but…he turned out to be better than I ever expected so that this time around, I’m voting for him because he’s the best candidate currently running.

Best president since Reagan. He has about a 95 percent approval among the GOP. Perhaps the 5 percent should exam themselves.

Mitt Romney republicans?

This is what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

“Classy” personal attack.

He has to beat Trump in November before that becomes an issue.

Poll talking to 1033 people. I don’t believe t.

Talk to 10,000 at least!

A thousand person poll can be much more accurate than a ten thousand person poll. At that level, it has more to do with the sampling methodology used, not an increase in numbers.

You can do your own informal survey. Ask some people in your circle that you know are Republicans. How many of them are anti Trump?

I have a small circle.

They are all Trump supporters.

I don’t argue with them about it, but I do know that they have certain characteristics that people here demonstrate as well.

They believe Trump implicitly. They don’t read or watch any news - it’s all fake.

Only one listens to Limbaugh or other radio hosts.

But I’m talking 10 people. Not any more representative than 1033 people called on a landline - meaning a probably age group of 60 through 80.

I’d be interested in an age breakdown of Republicans who take these surveys.

And as an aside, has anyone ever taken a poll? They ask certain questions, and it’s that questions you’re supposed to answer. Those can be skewed to give answers the questioners want… although that’s more prevalent in polls via computer…

Pew has some interesting statistics, but they don’t say how many people answered their polls, so it may well be we’re talking about 1033 people again.

For starters, he’ll act like a civilized, educated, circumspect person.

Do “civilized, educated, circumspect person[s]” fondle strangers in public like Joe does?

[Paul_Thomson]

@wonderingrover

Now now - everyone thinks it’s perfectly fine to grab 'em by the ■■■■■ - right?

I wasn’t the one claiming someone is “civilised, educated and circumspect”.

You are so misinformed.

Just admit you are a lib. You’ll be far happier.

Apparently all his friends are idiots and he is projecting them onto other Trump supporters.

@Guvnah

1. You are so misinformed.

2. Just admit you are a lib. You’ll be far happier.

1. I’ve been asking questions here for more than five years. I’m pretty well informed about what the different users of this forum believe and how they find or ignore the information that fulfills their confirmation basis. This info seeking is why I’m here in the first place.

2. I am not a lib, and I’m quite happy.

But I’m curious. Why would I be “far happier” to admit I was a lib if I was pretending I wasn’t?

That’s like you saying that I should admit I’m a Christian because I’m interested in religion, and would be “far happier” for doing so.

It doesn’t compute.

@AlexMcAlpine

I’m saying that will be the case for most other Republicans: even if they are anti-Trump almost all the Republicans they know will be pro-Trump. That is what the surveys are reflecting.
