NYT: ‘Trump Faces ... Defections From ... Older White Voters’ (only quotes seniors who opposed Trump before - couldn’t find ‘defectors’?)

Clifford Wagner, an 80-year-old Republican in Tucson, Ariz., never cared for President Trump.

He supported Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential primary race and cast a protest vote in the general election for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian nominee. An Air Force veteran, Mr. Wagner described the Trump presidency as a mortifying experience: His friends in Europe and Japan tell him the United States has become “the laughingstock of the world.”

This year, Mr. Wagner said he would register his opposition to Mr. Trump more emphatically than he did in 2016. He plans to vote for Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic nominee, and hopes the election is a ruinous one for the Republican Party.

They are FAKE NEWS

[hsmomx3]

When it comes up and my father brings it up, I back up what I have to say with what I have read/researched online. He gets his info from local and national news along with CNN.

He tells me not to believe what I read or hear if it comes from a source different from his.

I can’t win.

The MSM seems too concerned about Trump’s “deplorable”, “horrendous” and “sinking” support. Aka..we are winning

NYT Faces.... Dwindling customers.... From all age groups and races....

I was born in and mostly raised in Tucson.

Full of old farts. Mr Wager is what we called a chump back in the day.

Pima county is now as far left as Califlower - another reason I would never move back. That and the hordes of illegals that have overrun the place.

Used to be a very conservative place. Between the Snowbirds and the loony left that have moved there....I can barely stand to visit for a few days.

I usually start a Conversation about Politics with this.

First, tell me what you think you know.

Stuttering usually ensues...

LOL!! The liberals are panicking. I’m an older white female voter, and I’m not going anywhere. I think they may have mistakenly put Trump’s name in that headline instead of Andrew Cuomo’s.

"What kind of “journalism” opens a story on “defections” from Trump with a profile of a senior who never supported Trump in the first place?"

Bingo. It's laughable, and this is supposed to be America's "flagship" newspaper.

This answers you question. Just click it.

My mom says there are only a few Trump supporters left at her senior building. He has lost support.

Hey, clifford...you elderly nitwit. Think about it. biden winning would allow you to contribute to the fall of our Republic before you die. Isn’t that dumb? Do you despise the United states that much? Did you recently have a stroke or fall down and suffer severe brain damage. You are an embarrassment to humanity.

Yes, older white voters are flocking to Biden because they want more rioting, more kneeling, more white flag-waving, and no more police.

Actually many believe the Democrats will "call off the dogs" if Biden wins.

[RJS1950]

They’ll be shoveling this crap up to and probably following Trump’s reelection. Same thing they did in 2016.

[Halgr]

Im 73 years old....I’m voting for TRUMP no matter what!!!

[Republican Wildcat]

Yep. Every single one.

[Varsity Flight]

“Only quotes those who oppose..”

That’s their whole campaign, no matter the subject. Including the Covid attempt, never highlighting falling mortality rates.

[Varsity Flight]

Amen.

We’re are UNMOVABLE.
