this article is more evidence that Trump supporters don't want things...they just want someone to break things. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 07:09 1

    - Did you see the schedule yet? We play the first six games on the road. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:10 2

        Yes though playing in Baltimore it might still be cold. The best thing is to have the northern teams playing in the south and out west to start things - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:18
    - This is how far we've come. I think I'll face less harassment with a Red Sox hat than a Patriots hat... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:51 8
      - Hard to say which will piss me off most but you'll find out in a little over 24 hrs. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:53 4
        
        I'm pretty sure if I took your Yankmes cap off, half your skull would come with it. I say this with all the friendship in my heart... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 07:11 1
        
        Ha! :-) I think I wear a Yankee hat 360 days a year. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 07:19

        Intelligent too so there's really no good excuse for these poor rooting choices. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:59

        I won't cause a scene because I'm an old married dude but I'm going to seethe if I ever see that. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:56
        
        It's slightly worse than a Red Sox/Pats hat. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 17, 06:55
- I've got some broad stokes of what it might look like, but I have no idea how to get there. -- (edited) - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:40
"Trump supporters support Trump" - what a scoop! -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 06:17 13

  - What have they specifically gotten done? - Reagen Feb 17, 06:34 4
    - Nothing. Not one solitary thing... that will impact his base followers support of him. -- nm - Cucurucu Todini Feb 17, 07:06

    - nmbl: Here's a pretty complete list of everything he said he would do on Day 1 -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 17, 06:37 [Backboard] 1

- And all the hoopla in Washington has done nothing to change that. -- nm - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:23 6
  - What I'm saying is that it's about the 15th such article I've read since the inaugauration - Reagen Feb 17, 06:33 5
    - "Inner-city Obama supporters still with Obama" didn't cause any hand-wringing on either side of politics. - Roger More Feb 17, 07:09

      - agreed. I think it's critical that liberals understand the most up to date state of the opposition. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 07:19
    - The Guardian is specifically looking at a single county in PA that went from Obama twice to Trump, so I think it provides an interesting perspective. - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:44 1
      - (And they're also going to be reporting on this over the long term, so it's not just responses to a single point in time they're writing about) -- nm - znufrii, not a sociologist Feb 17, 06:46
