Former Trump Supporters DESTROY Him In Focus Group And It’s Brutal (VIDEO)



Donald Trump’s behavior over the last few months is turning off even those voters who backed him before, based on the results of a focus group aired on CBS this Sunday. While it seemed for a long time that Trump’s antics never shook the support he experienced during the Republican primary, the people interviewed by CBS seem to have killed that campaign myth.

snippets:

“He was my first choice. But just along the way, he has — I guess you can say he’s lost me,” one participant said in the focus group, which aired Sunday as a segment on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “I’m not saying there’s no chance of turning but he’s become outrageous. I mean, we all have thoughts, but I think he speaks without thinking.”


“When he initially began to run, he gave voice to a lot of the frustrations that I was feeling about how government is working or more to the point not working,” one man, Michael R., said. “But since then, he’s been running as a 12 year old and changes his positions every news cycle, so you don’t even know where he stands on the issues.”

Keep it up Trump...show the world who you really are.
BTW...the effort to restrain him didn't last long. This morning he unleashed a tweet directed at 'Morning Joe" hosts Mika and Joe insulting them. A show he says he doesn't watch anymore (yeah, right). His second tweet hinted that he will spill the beans on their affair.
This immature buffoon is running for President! Can you imagine President Obama behaving like this? Tweeting insults and threats like a 12 year old?
Holy fuck, what planet are we on?

Apparently some of these folks would forget his narcissism and awfulness as long as he reads "inspiring" scripted teleprompter speeches, etc. I guess turd polishing is all it takes.

One guy is looking for "leadership that inspires us to be greater than ourselves" and thinks Trump could still provide that. wtf.

How about "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." (Maya Angelou)

I was cheered though that the other folks have seen the light.
