If the Trump n-word tape is released what happens to his solid 30-35% base?

  • They stick with him because it doesn't matter to them

    Votes: 88 100.0%
  • That will finally be the camel that breaks the straw back of the base

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • Total voters
    88

Ah well, the 100% got screwed. I think the person who voted for the second option is probably naive or petty.

Trump Voter: If Jesus Christ Came Down From The Cross And Told Me Trump Was With Russia, I Wouldn't Believe Him

I don't think it will matter in the least. If anything, his faithful will accept it and possibly make excuses for it, and it will cement his standing with the racists in his party.

Trump has about 40% approval right now. Of those, about one quarter (10% of voters) are moderate conservatives, independents and some dems who "approve" but do not "strongly approve" of Trump. Their approval is probably mainly tied to the economy. Trump would lose most of those with an n-word tape. He'll lose almost all of them if we fall into recession.

As for that other 30%, they're not going anywhere, for any reason whatsoever.

To be fair, to me, when I cast that one vote I was thinking of the 30% black vote he has, not *the* 30% Speedo types.

Where's the poll opinion for his approval rating going up? If proven this will strengthen his base's approval of him for his straight talk and saying it like it is in their view. Some prima donnas will wring their hands for a few hours but not a single sitting GOP politician will bolt-just those that are dying or resigning will speak out, if that.

No guts, no glory.

Anyone know how Fox News is spinning?

My prediction when the tape comes out they will try to frame this as "see other people used the n-word so that means Trump isn't racist". His people will swallow that bullshit line of thinking because they can't or won't understand context and the totality of evidence. Someone tried it here with an alleged LBJ quote. BTW - Johnson did use the n-word.

Never voted for him to begin with.

Though to be honest, I probably wouldn't really care - just as you democrats don't seem to mind when past democrats freely mentioned the word as well.

You know, like the one who said
You are either intentionally LYING or just abysmally ignorant. Either way, I demand you retract your false statement.

The term LBJ used was "nigra." I don't even have to look it up. It was a now outdated term of semi-polite RESPECT for blacks, used in "polite" company instead of N*gger" you f*cking, bullshit-peddling ignoramus.

The one thing he isn't lying about is not caring that the country elected a racist. Anyone who isn't already a racist with a certain level of morality would be concerned.

Try searching even the slightest before you make assertions that you know what happened in something that you had no involvement in.

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson

This wasn't in a timeframe of everything being recorded with cellphones and documented via email - but plenty have come out and have asserted that these were said. The fact that you yell "PROVE IT!" at everything you disagree with that doesn't fit your narrative just shows your blind ignorance.

I'll have them ni**ers voting Democratic for two hundred years.
  • Allegedly said to two governors (whose names were not given) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to then-Air Force One steward Robert MacMillan. As quoted in Inside the White House (1996), by Ronald Kessler, New York: Simon and Schuster, p. 33/
  • These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again.
    • Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As quoted in Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream (1977), by Doris Kearns Goodwin, New York: New American Library, p. 155.
  • Son, when I appoint a ni**er to the court, I want everyone to know he's a ni**er.

Your "quote", your assertion, is a bullshit LIE. Of course, a closet right wing RACIST like you would try his wittle, wittle damndest to smear others with the stain if his own effing, unacknowledged RACISM.

You are a dishonest piece of shit. You disgust me.

Every liberal I know uses it constantly as well.

What? You mean the only one you actually know, which is the imaginary one under your bed that makes you pee your jammies at night in horror at the prospect of single payer health care or the overturn of Citizens United?

Even citations of whom it was said to (other fellow democrats) and where it is written/published isn't good enough for you heh. Thanks for proving your blind ignorance.

Facts don't care about your feelings - but your feelings clearly likes to distort potential facts that don't peddle your 2-year old narrative.

I mean a tape where Trump uses the word referring to a black man as a pejorative. Something that can't be spun as him repeating a joke. Personally I think the tape exists and its a matter of time before its release.

Would you jump on ship If he didn't say the N-word? If he had nothing to do with Russian election interference? The FBI/Democrats did politically try to dismantle his campaign and subsequently dog and pony show a story about Russian invasion heralded by Trump? Hillary is guilty of multiple crimes including tampering with DNC, destruction of evidence and releasing of country secrets? Trump is not racist but genuinely cares about equality of all people from all races and social status?

I bet your answer is still no because you identify with a certain party. The reality is that MOST people vote on party values and not based on the person in charge. It is a bit of a screwed up system in that regard but that is the reality. I know there are exceptions before somebody jumps in says I am not like that.

Really? You just regurgitated a bunch of talking points that are not based in reality. I concluded Trump is racist a while ago. Don't need the tape. Do you know there is a bunch of evidence supporting this including but not limited to

Central Park 5
Housing discrimination
Immigration - African countries shithole, Norway is fine.
Most Mexican undocumented immigrants are rapists and murderers
Judge can't do his job because he is Mexican
All Haitians have Aids
Hires white supremacist supporters (Steve Bannon)
Can't unequivocally denounce white supremacists (Charlottesville). Has is written for him and then takes it back 1 day later
Birtherism promoter for 5 years

Now refute the claim based on the evidence I have presented and don't rely on talking points

Trump has repeatedly proven that his base doesn't care about anything but themselves and their agendas so if he's the vehicle that can deliver then they'll always be onboard with him.

Uh, they are his solid 30% base because they know he is a racist piece of shit. It will merely strengthen their resolve that Neo-Goebbels is, finally, in power to reshape their forgotten country into the Nazi paradise that they fundamentally believe Jesus created the USA to be.

If irrefutable proof existed that Trump had opposition murdered for the purpose of hiding his conspiracy with Putin to destroy the US, and i mean completely overthrown our government, Trump would not see a great decline in support.
