The Robert Mueller Investigation

Agreed.  There are a significant number of pro-life Trumpers who ONLY align because of that single issue.  Many of them would otherwise align on immigration or even guns with centrists or even the left.  They willingly admit that they are single-issue voters who have to hold their nose while they case their vote.  It matters that much to them.  

I've said it before -- the abortion issue has utterly broken the political process in this country.  You have a huge chunk of the population who would vote for Beelzebub Stalin Hitler Puppykiller Childrapist (R), so long as he checked "pro-life" on the candidate information form.  That piece of information gives shitheels free reign within that party -- so long as they are pro-life, they can be ANYTHING else, and it doesn't matter.

So, Candidate Puppykiller Childrapist grabs 20-30% of the vote just by being pro-life.  But he needs more to win.  Hey, there are some angry old racists over there (sure, there's some overlap with the pro-life crowd, but a good number of them are still there to be plucked).  Maybe if I appeal to racism and xenophobia, I'll build enough of a coalition with the pro-lifers to win!  I mean, if the pro-life crowd wasn't entirely single-issue, and wasn't willing to overlook literally every sin EXCEPT abortion, then I'd need to do something different.  But they're with me no matter what, so I can fill out a coalition with the most loathsome scum imaginable.  And...that's how you get a Trump.  And a Trump 2.0, and 3.0, etc.

Abortion is how we got Trump.  And it's going to guarantee a parade of Trumps going forward.

The most frustrating part is that the candidate doesn't even need to be pro-life, they just have to pretend to care about it.  Trump has spent his entire adult life being the antithesis of what the pro-life movement represents, but he reads some lines off of a teleprompter and lets a few preachers touch him and suddenly he's a full-fledged evangelical.

Like I said, it's just checking a box.  Pro-life voters are to blame not just because that's their single issue, they're to blame because they're fucking gullible as hell.  Do they REALLY think that Puppykiller Childrapist is actually pro-life?  Really?  Come on.  He's the guy who shows up in Norman at 9:00 am, tells the crowd "Tuck Fexas!", soaks up the applause, gets on a plane, flies to Austin, and at noon tells the crowd "OU sucks!", soaks up the applause, and counts the votes he's getting from all of the idiots who believed him him Norman and Austin.

We literally just elected that guy president.  See the "there's a tweet for every occasion."  There's not a single significant policy issue on which he hasn't told one crowd one thing, and another crowd the opposite.

I used to think this, but I'm not so sure.  Trump doesn't give a shit about his spouses and he seems to be fond of his offspring.  I could see him paying off a birth mother, taking the baby, and making his spouse raise it as her own.  Maybe that's why Barron looks nothing like Melania.  Did anyone ever see her pregnant?

It's creepy watching replays of 2016 campaign rallies. The way the crowd fawns over Bannon-inspired buzz words. We're going to build a wall ... yes a wall .. oh we'll build that wall ... blah blah blah ...

i don't begin to believe that 30% is homogeneous.  there is a wing of very sick people and a wing of people who are influenced to participate but aren't internally set.  between is an amalgam of varying natures, but the most reasonable of those people may abandon that group when it is clear they are capable of great noise but mostly only that.  i'm guessing 20% tops is untouchables.  country can get along nicely with them back to muttering and shaking fists at the clouds.  my hope is that with this issue exposed, it can no longer fester and reproduce in the dark corners.

Agree. Many of them had a lot of mad as hell at the status quo DC in common with Bernie voters. Bernie won the Michigan and Wisconsin primaries and was within .4% of Hillary in; IA, KY, and MO.
