His absolute floor in 2016 was 40 percent of voters (maybe 25 percent of the population). I doubt it’s gone below 35 percent now, but 5 percent is a huge difference that would result in him getting destroyed in the election in 2020.
I think he’s always been a paper tiger, but his base is big enough to sometimes win a primary vs GOP members who push back. However, I think that’s much likely than is generally assumed.
Close to 50% of Americans didn’t show up to vote in 2016. His base consists of approximately 40% of those that did, or maybe 20% of the entire population.

Just got back from Michigan where I saw my first Trump 2020 ad, which was pretty much gaslighting every last fucking thing about Ukraine.
Hey Tom fucking Steyer, you want to do something good with your billion+. Stop running for president and run nonstop impeach ads in PA, MI, and WI

Yea saw my first Trump ad today too during Cowboys/Packers game. They make it seem like Trump is singlehandedly saving the country. No wonder the rubes eat this shit up.

The fact that they can straight up lie in those ads is beyond absurd.
NBC Seattle had one during Meet the Press. Not exactly the best use of resources, IYAM.

If you are to believe the reports, they have so much cash they’re going to start airing them on Nickelodeon soon
I do believe Trump tax cuts for rich have made for an insane amount of Repub money on hand
Would love to know which 5 he thinks are not possible.
As a rural american (you know a REAL AMERICAN), I’m definitely taking the over on his support floor at 25%.
Also, Trump’s been campaigning since the day he won.
the dems aren’t really interested in that do something good with a billion kind of thing. Right now their strategy is campaigns of hide and run negative attack ads instead of trying to build grassroots support.
Knowing Donald Trump, there was probably an explicit quid pro quo in the tax cuts. By which I mean, some arrangement where he literally tells Sheldon Adelson, the Mercers, et al I’ll cut your annual tax burden by 100 million if you each agree to donate 50 million to my campaign.
