If Rush Limbaugh denounced Trump and said DO NOT vote for him....

bear with me, thought experiment here....

would that have any effect upon the Trump supporters ?

I am NOT expecting Limbaugh to do that, unless his paymasters give him extra money or order him to do so, which I doubt would ever happen.

I think it would have a small effect. What do you think ?

Most, if not all, still wouldn't vote for Hillary, imo.
They would likely get behind Johnson, imo.
