Whenever a poll shows him with low approval ratings, President Donald Trump’s response has been to fire up his hardcore base as aggressively as possible. And in the 2018 midterms, Trump’s rally-the-base strategy seemed to help Republicans achieve narrow victories in certain Senate and gubernatorial races in swing states or red states. But a new Washington Post piece by Matt Viser finds that during the partial shutdown of the federal government, even some of Trump’s once-enthusiastic supporters are starting to reject him.
In Michigan, one of the Rust Belt states that Trump carried in 2016, Viser spoke to some disenchanted Trump supporters and found that the shutdown was giving them a case of buyer’s remorse.

Wait, you mean putting someone in charge that knows nothing about the job, nothing about the issues, is not very intelligent, is emotionally still a child, constantly behaves in completely irrational manner, is a pathological liar, and has no interest in learning and may not be capable of doing so isn't working out the way you hoped it would? What the fuck were the odds??
Trump's hardcore supporters are fading? No. Doubt that.
But. Those supporters who 'believed him' when he told them about the new 'Beautiful, inexpensive and envy of the World' healthcare plan--that may be a different issue. Too many of them are now realizing that the ACA wasn't too bad and could use improvements which the Trump absolutely will not do.
Assuming that the entire agenda of the Trump is the Wall and friendliness to Putin's Regime, it would seem apparent that even to the most unenlightened the deal they'll get from the Trump will begin with the word 'Raw' and end with "Believe me."
