So now there seems to be pretty solid evidence, at least that the media is showing, that trump jr, had info from Russia about dirt on Hillary and wanted to be involved with it. So if this all turns out to be true, is this enough for people to finally see that trump is bad news or is this just more "you lost get over it" type info?

[quote]The June 3, 2016, email sent to Donald Trump Jr. could hardly have been more explicit: One of his father’s former Russian business partners had been contacted by a senior Russian government official and was offering to provide the Trump campaign with dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The documents “would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father,” read the email, written by a trusted intermediary, who added, “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”

If the future president’s elder son was surprised or disturbed by the provenance of the promised material — or the notion that it was part of an ongoing effort by the Russian government to aid his father’s campaign — he gave no indication.

He replied within minutes: “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”[/quote]

I don't think there's really anything that could change the mindset of his base. They lack the intellectual fortitude to comprehend the gravity of the situation and are incapable of admitting they were wrong.

@Allthingscurious Don't dismiss his base, wholesale, as idiots. They may be misguided by the media, and lies, but they are our fellow Americans, and eventually, it is their votes that will help decide the next elections cycle.

@Northwest I disagree. There were already more of us than them and that was with Hillary. Put a decent democratic nominee forward and it'll be a landslide. Too many independents were chased away that could easily be brought back without even worrying about the trump base.
