text: Trump's supporters are abandoning him with increasing speed. That must have been on his mind as he was reluctant to alienate his white supremacist base.
  
  GOP politicians, no matter what a buffoon they thought he was, had to embrace him when his base was at 40%. With that kind of fervent support, they just needed to find another 11% on their own to hold a clear majority.
  
  When T-rump's ldiotic statements and lack of effectiveness bring his base down to 30% or less, his associates will jump ship. When will that happen?
