Problem is they will ruin the country in the process.Whatever the fine details one way or the other, the GOP is fucked, they are in a perfect storm the kind of conflagration that destroys political parties.

I don't believe he has a majority in those demographics either.His base is more concerned with the price of gold and bitcoin. They don't have 401k's because they don't work for companies that offer them.
His base is white males who never went to college, followed by white females who never went to college. This isn't a demographic that has a large portfolio or a 401k. The gop is more wealthy and has 401k's, but the base doesn't.
He doesn't need a majority of the nation, just a majority of republican voters who will be active in primaries and elections. Right now, 80+% of republicans overall still support him, and over 90% in those demo's.I don't believe he has a majority in those demographics either.
Nobody said it was gonna be easy or pretty, when ya fuckup, ya often pay a price, hopefully it's not fatal! America came down a peg or two in the world and it probably won't regain the ground soon. Hopefully it will all come out for the best, Donald will destroy the GOP for a decade or longer and America can make some progress. Look what happened to California when they got rid of the GOP, they went from ungovernable, to prosperous; now, look at Kansas, notice the difference.Problem is they will ruin the country in the process.
I believe those numbers are a small minority of the country, the GOP has been shrinking and becoming radicalised by propaganda and the racist reaction to the Obama presidency, they might really represent 35% of the voters if you include independents who lean that way, many polls are deceptive concerning Trump and his popularity among his base does not translate to other candidates, it harms them. If Trump were paired with most democratic options other than Clinton he would lose very badly, Joe Biden would whip his ass, literally and figuratively! The cowardly and treasonous actions of the GOP in the house and senate and the failure of their constitutional duty for oversight will seal their fate for a generation.He doesn't need a majority of the nation, just a majority of republican voters who will be active in primaries and elections.

Bought and paid for politicians sold this country out on behalf of corporations outsourcing jobs for big bonuses. Now the king of the idiots starts a trade war with a country that holds our nuts in their hand because of it. All China has to do is not buy our bonds and put tariffs on our goods and we're screwed.
Money talks in most societies, but it can be kept in balance and with in reason, most countries have limits and reporting on campaign contributions for a very good reason, they don't want russians buying their elections, D'oh. A billionaire is a billionaire, russian or American, if ya don't want an ownership tag stapled on yer ear like a hog or a sheep, you'd better get money out of politics.Politicians are just puppets for the rich and greed drives the rich. Sad thing is at a basic level things haven't changed much since this country was founded. They used to bring slaves here to make their fortunes in the past and now they send the jobs to the slaves.
It's gonna gut the rural heartland and fuck the markets and pension plans, Trump's base is gonna be cornholed by a trade war and they ain't happy! Most of his base doesn't give a shit about America, but when it comes to their own wallets, it's like someone sticks a live wire up their ass! They care about that!
We live in a global world, the Chinese ain't stupid, they know where to apply the "pain" for maximum effect, they also know trade wars are a stupid idea, so is allowing a moron like Trump to push you around.But they are going after mostly trump states which is absolutely brilliant. Hurt the dumbass rednecks that voted for him...
Their presumption of the rightness of their cause without question has always been requisite in authoritarian regimes.And in other news....

Trumpers Don't Think 'Drain The Swamp' Means 'End Corruption'
"The swamp" isn't "all corrupt people in power." "The swamp" is everyone who's not a pro-Trump Republican.
Just before air force one leaves for moscow the FBI takes the family off in handcuffs, leaving Donald alone for the flight. Will a pardon from moscow with the help of a russian lawyer work, if he gets it in under the wire? There would be a price for refuge in russia and I'm sure America is already paying it bigly. You bet Trump gave Putin secrets, he'll even give him the biscuit if ordered to, I would expect Vlad to flash it as he waves goodbye. The president's biscuit is missing, no big deal I'm sure, another day, another scandal, another act of betrayal...And the hits keep coming......
EXCLUSIVE: Saudi crown prince bragged that Jared Kushner gave him CIA intelligence about other Saudis saying 'here are your enemies' days before 'corruption crackdown' which led to torture and death

And he likely still has access to classified data. Nobody seems to care (congress, trump, the dod, etc).
Why wouldn't trump hand secrets directly to putin? He probably already has.
He did say he owned Jared, this was part of the price for a loan (or gift), 666, 5th Avenue strikes again. Them born yesterday christian Trumpers gotta be wondering about that address and Jared as the anti Christ, though I figure his father in law got that one covered!And the hits keep coming......

Trump floated replacing Sessions with Pruitt this week despite scandals
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/05/politics/scott-pruitt-trump-jeff-sessions/index.html
President Donald Trump floated replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with Scott Pruitt as recently as this week, even as the scandal-ridden head of the Environmental Protection Agency has faced a growing list of negative headlines, according to people close to the President.
"He was 100% still trying to protect Pruitt because Pruitt is his fill-in for Sessions," one source familiar with Trump's thinking told CNN.
