Eric Zuesse — Trump Is Losing Some of His Base

The main pro-Trump news-site, Breitbart News, is getting predominantly negative reader-comments on its articles that relate to Russia and the war in Syria. Whereas the reporters who write the articles trumpet the Trump line, the leading reader-comments to those Trump-trumpeters, under “Sort by Best” (meaning that at the top are the comments that have the highest net number of up-marks from readers, which indicates that the given comment is shared by the largest number of the readership), are hostile toward Trump, and are disappointed in the site itself for its remaining pro-Trump on the given matter....
Pretty amazing accomplishment in less than 100 days in office. But then, Trump does everything bigly.

Trump is pretty good, it took Obama six months to lose me, Trump did it in half that amount of time.

Trump lost me within less than two or three months after I decided to give him a chance despite never voting for him or Billary.

Trump is losing Ann Coulter over attack on Assad.

You actually care what Ann-Thrax says? LOL

When even Ann Coulter is jumping ship, you know you fucked up BIGLY. Fanboy cultists like Bill Mitchell keep the failing Chump Train going though.

Noah - I have no skin in the game with regard to Ann Coulter's support or lack of support for Trump. I'm just pointing out that she is a celebrity political commentator on the right who was a big unabashed Trump supporter. She even wrote a book, In 'Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!' She was burning up the Twittershpere denouncing Trump's attack on Assad. Her reaction probably reflects the theme of this thread... "Trump Is Losing Some of His Base".

Bigly.

Tom - Trump appears to have had a road to Damascus conversion to become the quintessential NEOCON's NEOCON.

I am not sure that is the case, Ed. Trump is a complicated character. He sold himself on the campaign trail to many constituencies and it was obvious that in doing so he was being inconsistent and even clearly lying.

As Scott Adams pointed out, this was all persuasion and we would not see the real Donald Trump until after the election if he won.

What we are seeing is the real Donald Trump.

The same thing is happening to the right now that happened to the left with Obama back then. They are both first-class bullshiters.
