Trumps base turns on him
Ummm, no ... Trump turned on his base. Because he has no core, no center, other than ego-boosting and greed. 6 MAJOR flip-flops. THIS WEEK.
Why his supporters could not see this aspect of him as a human being, I will never know. If you have to make judgments about people on a daily basis, you should develop some radar, a sense of people being truthful, politics aside. Trump violated this on a daily basis. Did they refuse to believe their own lying eyes? Or so deluded that it didn't even register? Or worse -- thought it was all ok behavior? Anyway, now they get what they deserve ...
Donald Trumps true believers are losing the faith.
As Trump struggles to keep his campaign promises and flirts with political moderation, his most steadfast supporters from veteran advisers to anti-immigration activists to the volunteers who dropped their jobs to help elect him are increasingly dismayed by the direction of his presidency.
Their complaints range from Trumps embrace of an interventionist foreign policy to his less hawkish tone on China to, most recently, his marginalization of his nationalist chief strategist, Steve Bannon. But the crux of their disillusionment, interviews with nearly two dozen Trump loyalists reveal, is a belief that Trump the candidate bears little resemblance to Trump the president. Hes failing, in their view, to deliver on his promise of a transformative America First agenda driven by hard-edged populism.
"Donald Trump dropped an emotional anchor. He captured how Americans feel," said Tania Vojvodic, a fervent Trump supporter who founded one of his first campaign volunteer networks. "We expect him to keep his word, and right now he's not keeping his word."

Steve Bannons downgrade is just one of many complaints. We expect him to keep his word, and right now hes not keeping his word, says one campaign supporter.

Unfortunately, the REST of us get him now, too -- and we definitely deserve better. We'll GET better if we turn out the vote.
