These people will vote Republican even if they disapprove of the Republican's policies and personally dislike his character.

Second,
The chart is convincing. I doubt Trump is responsible, because democrats don't even listen to moderate democrats, let alone republicans. Look at this forum. If I couldn't influence your vote, I sincerely doubt JSF and Auraptor are going to swing it.
Some democrats of course did vote for Trump. Sig and 1kiki for starters. But that's the only way I think Trump influenced democrat turnout. Largely what you're seeing is anti-Hillary sentiment. And that's because she's an evil hateful person.
I'm coming to think she's an exec in an evil hateful international stealth corporation.
Here's a thought: Why does WaPo post anti-Trump stories? Doesn't this seem like an extreme manipulation? Skipping the detail that Bezos was a republican, there's a much more disturbing angle. If he has trouble with the Trump administration all he has to do is walk next door and knock and say "hey, could you deal Amazon.com a break on this Mexico thing" or whatever. Why does he care what we think?
There's some deep level game going on here, and I suspect everyone is being had.
Edit: A second glance at the chart gives me a second thought, Second:
Those > 60 million votes are only for Obama. Maybe these are not democrats. They could be a probama vote. They're probably independents. They might be black people, or latinos, who are registered independents, who were swept up by the si se puedo hope and change message, and 1/2 of them were disaffected by midterm.
The people who vote for the Democratic candidate are almost as robotically opinionated as Republicans, but the Democratic voters are more prone than Republicans to being apathetic about actually voting. You know, Democrats aren't so good at doing something more than running their mouths. That is why the number of Democratic voters wildly fluctuates while the number of Republican voters (not just people who "identify" as Republican) is steady as a rock. I have never known any Republican voter in Texas that was as indifferent about voting as Texas Democrats are.
In a country like the USA where even if the people are not real robots they sure do a very good imitation of being robots, a Jeff Bezos, who you mentioned and who has most definitely never acted like a robot, can take over. Bezos owns Amazon.com and the Washington Post. Neither has Trump ever acted like a robot and he took over his part of the USA. That small percent of Americans who never act like robots sure do kick ass and give orders to the other 99% who try to blend in with the wandering robot hordes that come in several varieties, including Democrats and Republicans.
I just finished reading this

true that makes me think human minds might not be as complex on the inside than they appear to be from outside observation. The minds might have the exact same "consciousness" as a charged particle: some are negatively charged electrons, some positively charged protons, some Democratic, some Republican, forever unchangeable except by a calamity inside an atom smasher.

The title of this thread is " Is Trump Nuts? " Not is Hillary or anyone else. So far Trump has shown he is in completely over his head. And, he is using many unqualified people as his advisors. What does his daughter know about world politics or running a country. What does his son in law understand about running a country and producing foreign policy.
In a word, nothing. Trump is cutting funding to agencies full of professionals that are in place to do what he is picking his family and racists to do. These agencies now work for him. They are there to advise him on how government works and what makes the global community tick.
What has he accomplished so far...Alienating our allies and consistently undermining our democratic institutions.

Dividing the voting public into Repub-Dem voters is a mistake.
The simple fact of the matter was that enough people - including Democrats and unaffiliated voters - were so turned off by another "establishment" candidate that it was enough to make what should have been an entirely unpalatable candidate- Trump - entirely possible. And, yanno, people didn't just turn out reluctantly for Trump, they turned out enthusiastically. So the DNC needs to figure out what part of Trump's message people were responding to, and capture that lightning.
Stop "blaming" anyone and everyone for Hillary's loss.

There's a difference between being "nuts" and being "unqualified".
As far as "undermining our democratic institutions" ... I fail to see which ones Trump is undermining. If anything, its the Dems who were so gobsmacked by the results that they wanted to overturn everything, and the unelected deep state which just wants to stay in charge as per usual.

Quote:President Donald Trump has removed Steve Bannon, his chief strategist, from the National Security Council, according to a filing in the federal registry. A top White House official told NBC News that Bannon was put on the NSC's Principals' Committee only as a check against then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Now that Flynn is gone, Bannon is no longer needed in that role, the official said.

O...kay. So Trump appointed Flynn as National Security Advisor, a guy so volatile and incompetent that he needed Bannon as the Flynn wrangler and baby-minder. That sure doesn't seem like a very reassuring clarification. Is Trump nuts?

Quote:Maybe Trump is playing chess. It's possible that he put in a sacrificial appointee (Flynn) to accomplish a task, and either that appointee failed to complete, or did complete, but was no longer needed. Not a chess player myself, but I see what look like chess moves ... yanno, moving different pieces on the board.

One of the ways that Trump is very different from regular politicians is that he doesn't mind "hiring, firing, promoting, and demoting" people. Typical politicians put in a single appointee and usually stick with them for years. Obama ... he should have fired that backstabbing Hillary's ass a lot sooner!

Trump sent a first message very loudly and clearly to the President of Syria.
Just days ago, Trump announced that the U.S. no longer had any problem with the regime of Syrian president, and Russian ally, Bashar Assad.
Repeating Trump, Rex Tillerson declared that the “longer-term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people” — as if the Syrian people will be having an Iowa-like primary on that subject soon.
Repeating Trump’s message, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley made the same point, telling reporters that the United States’ “priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out.”
Assad sent a return message to Trump.
Assad thinks he can now get away with murder using Sarin gas, since what Trump said could be interpreted that Assad could.

I do believe Trump will need to send a clear second message to Assad, an equally simply message like the first. The message will have to clearer than “Yesterday you crossed some red lines, Assad.” Trump declined to outline what his new approach to Syria may be.
In other words, Trump is nuts when dealing with armed governments. Trump is NOT a chess playing genius.

So far the man has been crushed by the job. Until Bannon actually leaves I won't have faith Trump is learning from his mistakes. And as for his promise of a no fly zone in Syria, another lie. I think the recent gassing of children may force him into taking some sort of action. Quote:

Quote:No reason to believe Trump will think of something sensible that will last long term. I believe he will do whatever feels best for Trump at this moment, not permanently solve a longstanding international problem. On 23 April 2016, the United Nations and Arab League Envoy to Syria put out an estimate of 400,000 that had died in the war. The death toll from yesterday's suspected chemical attack currently stands at 72, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and is expected to rise.

This has happened before in Syria. I don't think Trump ever gave chemical weapons in Syria any thought before today, since he is more an improviser than a historian:
Haunting images of lifeless children piled in heaps reflected the magnitude of the attack, which was reminiscent of a 2013 chemical assault that left hundreds dead and was the worst in the country’s six-year conflict.
