[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many components to the Trump coalition- most importantly of ALL the non-voters who did not come out for Hillary.
But in the mix of the Trump voters I see two groups that are in direct opposition to each other:

1) The anti-goverment extremists--&gt; these are those who would have voted for Cruz and would never never ever vote Democratic

2) the pro-goverment as long as it benefits ME types. --&gt; these are for example the votes that hate Obamacare because the Medicaid expansion was not big enough and did not cover them. They are there and they are many. These are also those who liked Bernie Sanders.

You can entice 1 and 2 at the same time during the campaign, but I think you can't really please them both while governing.[/quote]

[b]I think you're forgetting a third and overlapping group: those who voted against corruption they thought Hillary would bring.  [/b]

I'm wondering what that crowd thinks right now.  Trump is holding on to Twitter so he can tell them what to think, but it can't last.[/quote]

Yes, true. A lot of those also did not vote at all.

I am starting to see the "benefits" of Trump's election. HRC would have brought scandals and shame onto the policies I love.
It sucks right now, but it's going to be better in the long run.
I also enjoy watching GOP scramble to Replace the ACA with their better cheaper magical plan that does not take away any of the good and gets rid of all of the bad.
I mean, I am sure they will come up with *something*, I am also sure that people will hate it and demand Single Payer/buy-into Medicare for all in short order.
