It's pretty much a done deal right now if Johnson decides to go for it. Trump already lost his base by betraying them with DACA. He lost the moderates by betraying them on net neutrality. Now this.

To the informed maybe, but the electorate isn't informed on this matter. Trump is playing to the audience, your view of this matter is not shared by the audience. Trump has sued people who said far nicer things about him than Bannon, if he let Bannon off the hook, it would be a sign Trump has gone soft and their might be credibility to Bannon's claims. That certainly isn't the way to play it, stay to true to character, that's the way to play it for Trump.Speaker to Animals wrote:StCapps wrote:The lawsuit being frivolous is unimportant, all that matters is that he sues, the fine details are irrelevant to public perception.Speaker to Animals wrote:If they are lies, the libel laws still do not apply.

Worst possible reaction.

His base doesn't give a shit about DACA, so long as they get their wall. You're projecting again, and it's leading you to faulty analysis. You still think if Trump pisses you off, then he's pissed his base off, but you aren't his base.Speaker to Animals wrote:He lost a lot of the core Trump supporters where I live. You'd have to be an asshole to still support this guy after DACA.
I don't think he can win these people back. He sure as shit lost a huge number of people with the tax changes and net neutrality repeal. It's pretty much over. Once he signs a new DACA into law, there's no reelection for him.
