Washington Post Reports On 'Regretful' Trump Voters To Fit Their Narrative
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/22/17 | Daniel Allott

Posted on 11/22/2017 2:48:47 PM PST by leaymane

The Post identifies the participants as “Trump voters,” which is ostensibly true. But they are an unrepresentative sample. What better way to find Trump voters who regret their vote than to talk to non-Republicans. The majority of Trump voters are Republicans, but only a third of the Trump voter focus group participants are Republicans, which may explain why only one participant said she was still fully supportive of the president.

The headline says, “Trump voters” but the piece focuses only on women, with the opinions of one man tacked on at the end. The Post doesn’t explain the gender breakdown of the group.

NBC News also did a write-up of Hart’s focus group, in which seven of the voters are identified as Clinton voters and only five as Trump voters. As with the Washington Post write up, the reviews are mostly negative.

Based on these negative reviews of the president’s performance, Hart told NBC News, “President Trump has embarrassed even his own supporters, and his problems start and end with himself. All of his problems are self-inflicted.”

The NBC News piece includes a paragraph at the end that somewhat belies the buyer’s remorse storyline. “And despite the tough words delivered throughout the evening, none of the five Trump voters said they had ruled out supporting his potential re-election bid or candidates he backs in the 2018 midterms.”

A few days after these stories were published, Sorock Research Group conducted a panel survey of 204 female Trump voters, and its findings, in its words, “strongly contradict” those of the Washington Post.

In SRG’s survey, 96 percent of the female Trump voters said they were not “embarrassed by President Trump’s behavior,” and just 0.5 percent of the female group said they regretted voting for him.

What are these clowns going to do when Trump wins by a big margin in 2020?

Oh never-mind, I know they’ll have moved on to another mem by then, predicting the next big affront to Trump that won’t happen.

OK. I’ll come clean. Despite nearly 20 years of posting on FR, I’m a regretful Trump voter. I regret that I could (and did) only vote ONCE.

The point that these boobs miss is that Trump doesn't need the job. He is not a career politician like Hillary, Romney, and the rest of the cabal and will retire from politics after he has served his term.

That means that he is liberated in his decisions and can do things that might not be politically popular or expedient but are the right thing to do.

And yet we know that there are far more Hillary voters with regrets as opposed to ones who voted for Trump. But in the world of the Media Party, that reality obviously does not figure in that much, eh?

Not one Trump Supporter regrets their vote. Every time Hillary speaks just confirms it even more. If the tax package passes it is lights out.

A regret that many of us deplorables may share, even as we yearned to widen the venue of personal benefit. However, no voter for Herself ever felt a twinge of doubt of conscience as THEY went in to vote over and over against their own real self-interest, some multiple times.

Did they report on all three Trump voters who now regret their vote? Good for them. I am waiting on pins and needles for the story about the thousands who regret their hrc vote now that they see all of the lies told during the campaign about President Trump were not true.

- I didn’t vote for Trump in the republican primary.
- I reluctantly voted for him for president.
- If he keeps trying to do what he’s trying to do, I will vote for him again without any hesitation.

We need Trump and more like him in Washington.

There is no proof they really voted for Trump.

But it wouldn’t be news to report that anti-Trumpers still don’t like him.

Ownership of the WaPo will eventually bring Bezos down ... It's an enormous blind spot of preening ego that made him impulse purchase it, and once his employees go public with his suasion upon them, nothing will save it.

Meanwhile, any editorial decision "we need another fake story about disgronified Trump voters" is void on its face; merely cheap titillation for the NoVA suburbs.

LOL, some of these folks are so sick, you may see at least a few instances of that.

Man was I down after Obama was elected. I was consoled by the fact I’d been through Carter and Clinton. I figured we’d survive despite his efforts to the contrary.

When he won the second time, it was actually worse, because we had all seen how bad he was by that point. And yet, folks went right out and put him in again.

Of course we had the wanderlust Romney representing us. What a screw-up that was.

Without McCain, me may never have been elected, even though the economy was taking.

The Left really thought they’d arrived with Obama. They didn’t think they’d live to see a time when Republicans, let alone a Conservative was in the White House again.

What a shocker Trump was.

I am ecstatic. He cut off the money trough to the global warming hoaxing cabal. He is appointing judges who donot fhink the whim of a single bought and paid for judge can undo and/or block anything the executive, legislative, or even the direct will of the people. He is eliminating O'Bungholes entire legacy piece by piece despite massive resistance from all of the monied interests in government and beyond. If he pulls off closing the border, and defunding the UN, and defunding the Palestinians, and getting fat boy assasinated, I will consider him the greatest president of all time.
