Wisconsin swing voters tire of Trump
Axios ^ | March 18, 2019 | Alexi McCammond

APPLETON, Wis. — Voters who supported Barack Obama in 2012 and then Donald Trump in 2016 are sick of Trump, saying in a focus group here that they're getting tired of his "lies" and the way he treats people.

Why it matters: Trump barely won Wisconsin, where he got roughly 22,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton, and these swing voters were decisive. If he's losing them, it will be harder to win the state again with just his base supporters.

Show less This was the biggest takeaway from the focus group of swing voters I watched last week, conducted by the research firms Engagious and Focus Pointe Global. The group included eight Obama/Trump voters and four Mitt Romney/Hillary Clinton voters.

This is the “tell” that the Wisconsin Democrats are preparing a massive Get Out The Fraud “voting” operation.

Then elect a Democrat, you dumb asses.

Here, I suggest KAMEL-uh Harris.

She’s perfect for you cheeseheads.

Fake news. Swing voters vote their pocket books. They have little or no interest in policy or politics.

Self interest is their motivator.

His lies?

??

I guess those are the ‘lies’ that the lying self hating scum at CNN, CBS etc. lie about daily?

I’m so tired of this. I don’t want to have a civil war. But better that than the ‘reality’ of the left.

I have read so many comments on forums from people who didn’t even vote for him, but are diehard Trump supporters now.

These diversions like the above article amuse me.

I have never been asked to be in a focus group. Is unemployment a requirement?

I’ve always believed Wisconsin was a one-off anomaly. The GOP won’t carry that state again for ages. The odds in Michigan are better, but not by much.

A lot of Americans are not ideological. Just get something done.
