I’m not discussing support of Trump in 2016 or even early in his presidency. I’m talking about NOW.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2019 11:52 amWhile I agree with your fundamental point, Doc, your last sentence is very off-putting, indeed counter productive. Those who are truly racist, bigoted, misogynists will not be able to perceive removal of Trump as a priority, patriotic or otherwise. That's ok.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2019 10:40 am An attorney for the whistleblower who raised the alarm about President Trump’s communications with Ukraine said Sunday that “multiple” whistleblowers have come forward.
The news, which comes as House Democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry and are subpoenaing the White House for documents, adds to the deepening political crisis facing the president.

Seems like multiple career professionals in the intelligence community are coming forward to offer evidence against Trump.
If your own intelligence agents are warning you about the president, maybe it’s time to put the nation above one’s own racism, bigotry, and misogyny and support the patriotic effort to impeach and remove Trump from office.

But those who simply hoped that Trump would shake things up, yet ultimately behave rationally and dare we say it, Presidentially, can be reached. Are there enough of these to make a sufficient difference? I sure hope so.
The door needs to be open, indeed welcoming.
Those who can be rationally “reached” have already come over to oppose Trump (the 2018 midterm elections). Lots of those were suburban women and educated white males.
The Republican base that still remains with Trump (and probably always will) are those who support his racism, bigotry, and misogyny. Only thing left is to appeal to their patriotism. Considering how the Republican base has a weird fetish for Vladimir Putin, I am not optimistic.
Hate to say it, MDlax, but you’re trying to reach a group of voters who are already tapped out. The rational, non-bigoted Trump supporters who are at all “reachable” have already come over. What remains in Trump’s base are the true Deplorables. No need to be gentle with them.
