After Putin Meeting, Trump Voters Mostly Dig In. But Cracks Are Showing
New York Times ^ | 18 July 2018 | MATT FLEGENHEIMER

Maybe it was the F.B.I.’s fault for unnerving him. Or maybe the White House staff had left President Trump ill-prepared before his stunning remarks in Helsinki Monday, when he sided with Russia over his own intelligence agencies.

At a bar in central Pennsylvania, voters wondered if election meddling was really so terrible. At a mall in Arizona, they insisted that Mr. Trump had actually been quite tough on Russia until, well, whatever that was in Finland.

In interviews with conservatives and Trump supporters across a half-dozen states, there were many theories about the president’s performance — he was tougher in private; he is cutting a mega-deal; he has a plan — and more than a few questions about his news conference with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, which left congressional Republicans and at least some voters struggling to endorse their leader’s approach.

“Cracks”?

The only ones who are waffling here are the ones who didn’t support him in the first place.

Nice try...

No doubt. All the former Trump supporters I know have given him the boot now because of his traitorous actions. NOT! And, dig in? Only against more lies from the libstream media and the dementocrats. Ain’t tolerance great?

There were plenty of “cracks” when Reagan went to Reykjavik, the Hawks thought it was a bad idea.

Article #5,987 in the NY Times romantic fiction series - “It Finally Looks Like Trump is Finished This Time, Really.”

I saw “cracks are showing” and, at that point, checked to see the source.

Yeah. Might as well have been NPR.

The NYT dreams.....

The "cracks" they refer to are temporary disapproval of Trump comments and they don't and won't translate into votes against the Trump agenda.

Wishful thinking by the NY Times.
They cannot crack the code, they cannot take down his base and that gives him his power. They are deeply frustrated.

This article is garbage.
It's very easy to vote for and support Trump and his policies when you consider the alternative(s). Any of them.

Normal people are realizing this more and more each day. The apolitical people I've had dealings with lately are more irate than the Deplorables. Their eyes are now wide open.
