    We have seen this time and time again where a political movement, especially entered around a particular individual, starts strongly and then over time it breaks up into splinter groups. Some of this is because individuals within the main group firm alliances that rewrite their own agendas or simply become disillusioned with one aspect of what is happening.

    The recent episode where Don Jnr was heckled from the stage is an example of that where a far right group known as “Groypers” started harassing everyone

    Dream On. Not only is Trump's base solid as a rock, Independents are tired of slimy Democrat **** PR stunts.

    Anyone in Trumps base with a working brain bailed on him already. What's left, small as it is, is loyal to the end.

    All that matters is the Electoral College and 270.

    Yes we are scattered and have no frens now.

    You do know Vox has taken a stand against hiring based on merit, right?

    You can believe it if you like, but dont end up underestimating your foes again like in 2016.

    Typucal Vox article test for a straw man then when the straw man proves illusory, as strawmen always do, congratulate your self on finding something wondrous, drawl back into your smarmy pit and pretend to a wisdom you do not possess and ignore the fact that Donald Trump remains at near 90% among the REpublican base and that his over all approval rating has been at 43% for more than three years in spite of the most savage and baseless attacks against him his family and his policies that any president has faced since the nation was founded. And prepare to be surprise once again when Trump wins the EC by an even bigger margin this time.

    Not in the least surprised that a holier-than-thou faction has reared up among what is essentially a personality cult around the BLOTUS.

    Doubtful that it will alter the votes of any of them but the entertainment value is priceless. Pass the popcorn. ;)

    Got anything of substance to support that allegation about Independents?

    Quiet, don't tell them that. Ahem...... Trump doesn't stand a chance. polls show him losing badly against any of the Democrat candidates. No need for Millennials to bother leaving their parents basement to go vote. Trump will lose by double digits, your votes are not needed. :D

    Just read an article in Forbes about women and electability. Apparently they have proven that they can beat men head to head and are moving on to other issues. They will be running for seats nationwide up and down the ballot.

    A poll does not mean much unless you count electoral votes. Additionally it so too early to make any such predictions.

    This is a report from Fairyland. Only the myopic and ideological observers behind the beltway walls or working for the NY Times see it. The 110,000 who cheered Trump for many minutes at a recent college football game is indicative of the real world where Trump's real base is solid and growing.

    Do you think that anyone has changed their mind yet? Have you? I did. Will you vote differently in 2020 than you did in 2016? If the "Orange Man Bad" candidate is going to defeat president Trump in 2020, voters are going to have to vote differently in 2020 than they did in 2016. So, do you think that anyone has changed their mind yet?

    In the thread entitled "To impeach or not to impeach, that is the question" Trump's critics are free to examine all the evidence of impeachment charges against Trump.

    In the thread entitled "America can no longer be trusted" Trump's critics were free to discuss all of Trump's policy failures and they clearly illustrated Trump's incompetence.

    In both threads Trump's dwindling number of fans could not defend Trump. One thread proved he was guilty of impeachable offenses. The other showed he was incompetent. His fans said nothing.

    Heh, I've been in enough threads of yours to know that they're a waste of time, otherwise Trump would already be jailed for being a Russian spy and we would have been at war with Iran.

    Fracturing? We are excited over the thought the whistle blower may be indicted for "Treason for Dollars", starting a gofundme page to underwrite his leaking.

    Aside from that, MSNBC loaned an entertainer to Schiff to make believe he is half witness and half prosecutor, leading witnesses who don't know what they're supposed to say and asking them to repeat after him. The only fracturing you hears are Americans breaking out in laughter over the stupidity on display.

    Are you really asserting that Trump's base is crumbling because you didn't see much defense of Trump on two threads that you evidently see as indicative and significant??????

    No

    Again did you not read the OP?

    It is crumbling because groups like the “groypers” are splitting from the base
