Coulter's tweet, from his OWN PARTY, is about the rudest, most humiliating thing I've read all year.

With his base, the less than 25% of the voters, there was NOTHING AT ALL this president could do to lose their support except compromise with the opposition. And now he's done more than that, he completely capitulated to them.

Listening to the voices today, I could hear repeated hope that when he comes back Feb. 15, THEN he'll get his wall. When the host asked are you angry? Yeah I'm angry!!!! He shouldn't have given in. But they'll pass his budget on Feb. 15 so this'll be worth it.

Just as posters who back him are saying here.

What happens March 1 when he no longer has any support? Not even his angry MAGA hat cheerleaders?

Um. Bye.


Just so you know the vast majority of Trump's supporters don't listen to talk radio. And he hadn't lost our support.

They're not backing him now that he's whimpering away.
They will find a way to spin it and blame someone else, they always do and always will. Trump was right about one thing, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any voters. Basically what I'm saying is, his base will still vote for him, even if they don't like some things he's done. That won't change.

Can we just get some boring, smart and very respectable person on the democratic ticket? Please?
Well, Bernie just declared his candidacy, so there's that.

I ABSOLUTELY disagree with you about that.

I think virtually all of Trump supporters are Rush Limbaugh supporters.

That's why when Limbaugh started to support Trump, the tide completely turned. Trump was way out in the weeds until Limbaugh supported him.

Had Limbaugh not supported Trump, there is no way he could have won.

I listen to the Limbaugh broadcasts when I'm in my car. When he started turning, that's when the voters started turning.

As for money, he's made many millions off of being President.

It's possible he has that Moscow hotel deal waiting for him in Russia. Who knows? Could be one of the things he and Putin discuss when they have those secret meetings with no one present, and no record made of. (Although, like so many of Trump's projects, that could just end up bankrupting him again.)

He will have abilities to make money from being a former President. People like to hang with formerly powerful people, who have money. No matter what they've done. Remember how everyone in the country was convinced that Von Bulow had murdered his wife? He got off. Even so, he was a much desired guest at all the "A" parties. He was famous.



How so? Since his election, the Trump brand has become his nemesis. I'll argue he's probably lost millions since his inauguration.

You really are Clueless about the average Trump supporter. Most of us work for a living and don't have time to listen to AM radio during the day.

So far you Libs / Dems got nobody that can beat him in an election.

So, if you don’t hear about it live on the radio, you wouldn’t hear about it at all...in this, the social media age?



I guess we really don’t know Individual 1 supporters. Seems y’all haven’t gotten the internets yet.
