Way to sway: Ask voter: Are you going to be the LAST person to DUMP Trump?

For some (leaners, fence sitters) it will create a bandwagon effect. For hard-core deplorables, nothing would work, but it's an entry to find out if the voter is swayable.

Subtly press the angle with leaners that even the media is moving away from him. More and more people are realizing that the man is not fit to be President by ability, experience, or temperament. Do you want to be the last person to realize this? Then let the question sit in the air.

Once there is a tipping point, it will start to snowball. But the numbers have to go down.

I don't think it is as effective at swaying them.

Nobody likes to be left behind.

Or beyond salvation. I mean does he need to literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue?

So many in my generation (millennials) are either 'sitting this one out' or more concerning is I've heard more and more warm to Trump "he's real", "he's not a politician", etc. Okay yeah he's not a politician, and perhaps you think he speaks his mind, but listen to what he is saying. That doesn't qualify him to be President. I would tell fence sitters that look the next President will have to choose at least one Supreme Court nominee, deal with the growing threat of North Korea, and a whole host of middle-east issues. At least Mrs. Clinton has experience in dealing with these types of issues.
