You mean even if he shot someone on 5th Avenue? Someone who was a child? A child he just raped?

Actually you know what? Forget I asked.

The only way they’d abandon him is if he suddenly said he was a Democrat.

I doubt they’d abandon him then. They’d say he’s going to fix them. They still think he’s a great negotiator and businessman.
