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.
Mine is a resounding fu*king NO! Without Russia, without the N word that piece of shit is still a sexual predator, corrupt, criminal, dumb as fu*king shit, entirely out of touch with the human race dick head. It has zero to do with the party I identify with and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that Trump is a vile, loathsome, despicable, reprehensible, waste of skin. The fu*ker ain't right in his personality or mentality. He has not a single redeeming quality. He is a disease and a stain on humanity.

Yes I think the republican party are failing as human beings for supporting him but I don't care and I've never cared that he ran as a republican and [cult] leads them now. That they'll be led by him is a separate disturbing, heartbreaking and disgusting issue. His party (lol, he doesn't belong to either of the two most prominent ones) is himself! He is one depraved mother fu*ker. It's disgusting that the republican party gravitates to it.

Every liberal I know uses it constantly as well.

There's nothing more racist than a northeastern liberal.

Good job!

As someone who almost certainly knows a lot more liberals than you, you’re either ignorant or a liar.

Is this like when you were sure veterans opposed more gun control only to find out a majority did?

Now THAT was a good job by you, hahaha.

I’ve read a few things online about this that I think are important to keep in mind.

1) Americans, especially conservatives, view racism super narrowly. Is the fact that black people get longer sentences for the same crime racism? Lots of people say no. Same with differences in employment opportunity or say, not renting apartments to black people like Trump did. People DO generally agree that calling people the n-word constitutes racism however, which to me means there will be a non-trivial number of people who really might decide they have had enough.

2) Trump’s support is low and his party appears to be in electoral trouble. Losing even a small amount of his remaining support would be very bad.

3) If/when this tape comes out prepare yourself for an avalanche of moronic ‘if black people can say it why can’t Trump?’ takes that will make you want to facepalm your forehead off.

It would have no meaningful effect on his poll numbers IMO, though I do think it would slightly weaken his chances at re-election, principally because it would further motivate decent people to vote against him.

Probably not as ignorant as the ignorant shit who said they didn't know a single veteran who supported gun control when in fact a majority of them support it. I'm not sure what sort of insane right wing bubble someone has to live in to be that ignorant but I suspect it's exactly the same sort of right wing bubble that makes you think that liberals commonly use the n-word.

To be fair he defines a "liberal" as anyone to the left of Hitler so his "liberal" friends are still pretty stupid.

I know how racist are. How they act. What they believe.
Sadly for me, I have MANY racist within my own family.
And they ALL voted for Donald Trump feeling HE WAS LIKE THEM.
They also gripe about the female workers at Walmart that wear the Hijab.
They gripe about blacks being slow.
They also gripe that gays should never be allowed to marry.
They also gripe how Obama was the worst president and how they hate Obamacare despite their not affording healthcare. And can not understand why their preexisting condition kept them from getting insurance.
They watch Fox News religiously.
And they all believe that Donald Trump is still the best thing since sliced bread.
Oh, and did I mention they all HATE Hillary?

So when it comes to the N word, that only reenforces their belief in Donald Trump.
And reenforces their brief voting for Donald Trump was the high point in their life.
So when it comes to racism, I see it every day first hand.

The True Believers won't care. A lot of other people would. Trump's support among blacks would vaporize, I'm sure.

Except maybe Kanye...

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.

What makes you think that it is not a "PLUS" to his base?

Does this poll win some sort of record for most one sided poll in ATPN's history? I feel like asking if the sky is blue would get a 50/50 split with Republicans claiming that the sky is indeed Red, but not this...

This poll is a pretty damning indictment of Trump supporters, not because of the number of votes for the first option, but the utter lack of votes for the second option, not to mention the fact that the one person so far voting for the second option isn't even a Trump supporter.

It also makes me wonder how many True Believer Trump supporters we've had here (whether they're overt ones or ones whose whole-hearted support has always been obvious) are going to start spinning stories about "when they first started having doubts" (despite the fact that a decent and reasonably intelligent person should have had doubts a looooong time ago), flatly deny they voted for him or just clam up altogether about that chapter of their lives.

Kind of like a sinking ferry. The ship is sinking you have a life jacket but at what point to you abandon ship? If you are inside and the ship continues to sink you are soon dead. Some people got outside and saved themselves. Seems there is a large contingent who will go down with the ship. They will be permanently labeled as Trump.

At that point it is deserved.

Damnit.. that better? :)

Heh. One side of me wants to be sympathetic and take the line that I'm sure some Trump supporters will say that this is where they draw the line (non-whites in particular), but frankly he has said and done some pretty vile things already, and his opening campaign rally involved the infamous "Mexicans are rapists", not to mention the birther bullshit, grabbing by the pussy, his supporters wouldn't care if he shot a random person, etc, and they've supported him through all that, so why wouldn't him dropping the N-word run like water off a duck's back?

Furthermore, to any Trump supporter who claimed that this was where they drew the line, I'd ask them how the fuck the multitude of other incidents didn't manage to achieve that, because frankly a change in heart this late in the day doesn't seem awfully likely/sincere to me.

1% of the black vote would still be 1% of the black vote? Every single chip counts, eventually hell fall...

Please elaborate? Yes, not many black people voted for Trump but from what I've just looked up it suggests 8%.
