I have to believe there is some buyer's remorse among Drumpf voters.


To paraphrase John Stuart Mill although it is not true that all Deplorables are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are Deplorables.

We don't need to peel off a lot of them to be successful. We don't even need to peel off a significant amount of them to be successful. We just need to peel off a handful of them.

I have to believe there are a handful of them who are already put off by him bragging he is going to pal around with the culture snobs at Conde Nast, his romance with Putin, and his taking shots at Arnold for his failing Apprentice ratings. And that's just twenty four hours of tweets.

I have to believe that there is more with feelings of relief amongst some traditionally democrat voters that there is an actual adult in charge now. But with the DUmmies it's always a one way thought street.

Yep. A DUmmy thinks all the world thinks like he does.
Most of us can't wait for Jan 20th.

In reality it has been just the opposite with me.  I was not a Trump supporter, though I did vote for him.  I expected him to be pretty liberal.  Based on his cabinet choices so far I'm really starting to like the guy.

How can one have "buyer's remorse" when one doesn't have the goods yet, to regret?

I remind the primitive Barack 0bama is still president for another two weeks.

Of course you have to believe that! Acknowledging reality, which is the reverse of what you believe, would be too painful.

A DU-member quoting a Utilitarian philosopher - irony epitomized.

I voted against Hillary. Based on Trump's history of pro-abortion and pro gun control statements I doubted he had any virtue beyond not being who would corrupt every instrument of power the way Pickles does.

Now that I have seen Trump's cabinet picks and his apparent determination to make to make good on his promise to build the wall and dismantled the ACA with I have no buyer's remorse. Just the opposite, actually.

I never ordered or bought the Magic Negro, but I got him anyway, and I have been trying to return him to whatever hole he crawled out of ever since.   

I thank God for hearing and answering our prayers.  No democrats in control of anything!  A blessing!

I think it'd take more than that to slap the silly out of them. But please go ahead and try.

The people who have REAL buyer's remorse are the ones who voted for Hillary in the primaries.

Same here.
I am so far very pleasantly surprised at just how good his cabinet choices have been.
Not 100%, but then again, even Reagan wasn't 100%.

The insanity he's triggering in the libs is just icing on the cake.

I was for Trump all the way. I felt he was the only republican that would give the MFM the finger everyday and win. I read his books and had a good sense of how the man thought. Now, of course, I am happier than i can count with the people he is picking, the way he pokes the right people in the eye, and his carry through.

I still don't trust any in the GOPe though. The people that pretend to be the conservative wing of the Uniparty are going to bring the most trouble for Trump and his making America great again. I'm looking at you Juan, and Linsey.

So it was YOU!  We've been paying for it ever since, too.   :rant:  You must have been hacked by Russians through your Amazon account or something.

I agree.  I just type out "Obama" nowadays.  Spellcheck adds the capitalization, and I let it go.  I know I've done it, but the name-goofing is kinda dumb.  For a lady of a certain age.

I'll type out Obama, but I also use Obamacare and Obamaconomy.

I am far more petty than that. I refuse to capitalize islam and muslim. just my little way of showing my utter lack of respect.

Playing it straight and responding to the DU OP unasked question, during Primary season Trump was in the lower half of my order of preference, above the "Oh, dear God, please no!" group. I voted for Cruz in CA's meaningless June primary, and would have voted for Carson had he made CA's ballot (IIRC, he pulled out too early).

I didn't see that Trump had any principles on which he would stand and had stood for any significant time. And his record of being a bit of a "government entrepreneur" I do not like. But when it came to a choice among Trump, The CHILL, and the several wastes of a vote (A Libertarian who favored arcane stringent gun laws? Is that a newly discovered species of Libertarian?) it was not tough. The damage The CHILL was promising to do to the US was more than I was willing to contemplate. So I voted for Trump, but really against The CHILL.

My expectations of Trump are low, and so far he's far exceeding them. All this being a very long way of saying that I'm close to the polar opposite of being in a state of buyer's remorse.

Speaking very speculatively, I wonder if one "principle" on which Donald Trump does stand is pleasing his customers. If so, he could do a lot of right things for the sake of pleasing his voters.
