Independent Voters on the trump presidency

Independent Voters on the trump presidency
Here's what some folks who previously voted for Trump, think about the president now

Some snippets:
Quote:CAMEROTA: We are now just 22 days away from the midterm elections, so we thought it would be a good time to get the pulse of the people. 

I recently sat down with the all-important Independent voters -- the ones you are about to meet. Five of whom voted for Donald Trump, say they are now very disappointed in him and very motivated to vote against Republicans for all the issues they think President Trump is getting wrong.

Quote:CAMEROTA: You all are the all-important Independent voters that so many people are watching for the midterms.

Anthony, how are you feeling?

ANTHONY MILES, INDEPENDENT VOTER, REGRETS VOTING FOR TRUMP: Afraid.

CAMEROTA: Of what?

MILES: A dictator in the White House.

Quote:SYDNEY COHAN, INDEPENDENT VOTER, CHANGING PARTY AFFILIATION TO DEMOCRATIC, REGRETS VOTING FOR TRUMP: The divisiveness in this country right now and the rhetoric coming from the president is a daily exhausting thing. 

I worry that the dictator -- the wannabe dictator in the White House will make it where we don't even have any more elections. 

I mean, he will -- he is like siding with Vladimir Putin. He -- Kim Jong Un is now having love letters written to Donald Trump.

Quote:MARTIN: You know, even listening to his -- the inauguration speech just kind of --

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Very dark.

MARTIN: -- was dark and antagonistic. And there has not seemed to be any effort to unite the country. It's always us against someone or these people against someone else.

Quote:CAMEROTA: You know what's so interesting is that we always hear "it's the economy, stupid." None of you are mentioning that and the economy is going well. The unemployment rate is at a historic low. The stock market is at a historic high.

But that's not what any of you are focused on. Why not?

DALE MUNHOLLAND, CHANGED PARTY AFFILIATION FROM REPUBLICAN TO INDEPENDENT: The economy reacts slowly to anything that happens, so I would say a lot of what is taking place now is a result of Barack Obama.

NANCY CELENTANO, REGRETS VOTING FOR TRUMP: I'm not even thinking about that. I'm thinking about what he's done to our country. Our country was supposed to be a country for the people and -- you know, by the people for the people, and I don't see that it's that way anymore.

And we're supposed to let people come in, like the immigrants. And what really broke my heart was when I saw those children being torn away from their parents.

Quote:MUNHOLLAND: I've been a lifelong Republican since the day I turned 18. 

I think these midterms are really important because the Republicans, I'm very sad to say, have become very, very spineless, they've become cowardly, and they're just extraordinarily unwilling to stand up to Donald Trump and his bizarreness. I mean, it's a circus of bizarreness that takes place daily in the -- in the White House.

People aren't happy with their decision to vote t.Rump into office. The regrets are high. This morning there was a continued interview with these folks about changing their party affiliations. It's all very eye opening to say that these voters are embarrassed and ashamed of the person that's in office.

Well, we got here through 37 years of liberals voter apathy in mid terms, and 37 years of GOP gerrymandering. 

The GOP would go extinct if they were forced to only talk about wallet issues. They fucking know they are merely conning everyone into letting giant corporations and Wall Street use us as their casino ATMs and when the bubble bursts they dump the losses on the tax payers. 

The poor rural whites and middle class whites have the same problems as urban and suburban and rural blacks. Lack of livable wages that meet the cost of living.

Buyer's remorse is it, right there. 45's birther crap should have disqualified him. 45 calling Mexicans rapists should have disqualified him. 45 shitting on McCain should have disqualified him. 45 shitting on his own intel should have disqualified him. 45 calling journalists "The enemy of the people" should have disqualified him. 

I do not say this lightly nor is this about party or economics now. We have a very vile and dangerous bully in office who is only doing all this to deflect attention from his financial past and that he is owned by our enemies.

There are many who are going towards the republicans as well. Polls are fluctuating but very close in some key swing states. Personally, I don’t trust the polls, because I think you are going to have a large turnout for a mid term election. It will definitely be interesting.

You do realize what the qualifications for the US presidency are, correct? Being batshit crazy and a malignant tumor on the genitals of humanity doesn't disqualify him.

Where did I say it was? Learn to read. 

By the way - those opinions weren't cherry picked. They were the same people interviewed right after they voted for Trump. 20+ months of POTUS fuck ups and embarrassments have since changed their minds.

Probably not.

Actually, according to at least one or two of them, they plan on voting straight democratic ticket in November. So even if this was a presidential election year and Hillary was the democratic nominee, she would get their vote.

Try not to make so many insinuations.
