His supporters, who attack on a personal level, anyone who they view to be less than 100% aligned with Trump, do more to push away those who might be inclined to support Trump otherwise - just as the nutjobs of the left are pushing many who were skeptical of Trump to support him.
I know many conservatives who opposed Trump, who are now coming around. We ought to encourage that, not discourage it.
I do not know any that opposed Trump that are coming around. I do know that they preferred Hillary Clinton being in the White House. And still do. “Those convinced against their will, remain unconvinced still.”[author unknown] I have heard Donald extend his hand to them many times. Each time, they either spit on his hand or in his face. And the one that fits them to a tee is: A leopard cannot change its spots.
IF you had paid attention to Trump, in his rallies, he noted these of the small elite class, both in wordsmithing and seeking elected office, had NO compunction about showing up at Trump's door begging for dollars... Trump knows this bunch better than they know themselves. I do not care what political persuasion one claims, me personally, cannot stand double minded people.
What you have yet to comprehend is Donald J. Trump, is US, we the people... a private citizen, who unmasked the double mindedness of the chattering and political class on both sides of the isle. Slurs, insults and ridicule to and about Trump was ‘personal’... Some of US decided that proverbial line in the sand was now ‘cement’... cross it and expect to get in turn what was spewed.
