‘The man is a lunatic’: Republican voters explain why they are turning on Trump 

If you think someone is a "lunatic" and a threat to the country, yet will still vote for them, YOU are the problem.

STOP calling Nikki Haley a moderate. She agrees with 99% with Trumps policies.

I’m commenting from Canada, so have no real vested interest in US politics, but I’m following the election cycle closely. What i dont understand is that if you can get past Bidens age and relative frailty, hes clearly doing a really good job. Stock market, economy, unemployment, violent crime.. everything is better than it was under Trump. Inflation is down, interest rates are falling. There are no objective metrics in which Trump was better last time, OR, that he’s talking about improving if he’s re-elected. His whole campaign is about cutting taxes for the rich and causing more division in the country and around the world. In time, history will look back on Bidens administration as being one of the most successful in history; its just facts. It boggles my mind that Trump is viewed as being a serious candidate whatsoever

These people actually believe shamelessness is a superpower..!!

And yet Haley will pardon trump .. zero confidence in either. She's like him

2:31 How can she say she doesn't want Trump as she "doesn't see anything good about him", then that she would vote for him over Biden - how is it that Trump simply wearing the Republican "badge" is enough for these people? They would literally vote for Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot if they were wearing a GOP rosette!

Is HALEY still wanting to pardon t-Rump and the insurrectionists in prison now? If so, I won't listen to her at all!!

I worry about the mentality of any voter that looks at Donald Trump and thinks "now THAT"S the kind of guy I want as my country's leader".

I see absolutely no harm to America or the American people whatsoever in reelecting Joe Biden to the White House as our current president.

When it comes to Trump, women's rights go down the drain. When it comes to Trump, respect for veterans -- he called them "suckers" and "losers" -- goes down the drain. Regarding economics, the U.S. deficit, during his golfing administration, increased by record trillions. Please objectively see this.

Donald Trump and Lara Trump have a message for such voters: "No place for you in the Republican Party! Stay at home or vote for Biden!" I think they should take the hint.

That last voter I smh at. Knowing the man is a lunatic and is horrible but thinks if his VP he picks simply washes away everything else. They deserve what they vote for then. I just don't want to go through another 4 years of relentless Jerry Springer

"Lunatic," actually, he is in fact, missing character required for leading a "super power." Because in TWO words: Malignant Narcissism.

The voice of reason, not the voice of treason. Couldn't say it better

Do these good folks realize that she has said she will pardon him if she's elected? Just a reminder.

Who are the lunitics when some say they'd vote for a lunitic as president rather than Biden, who despite his age is doing an admirable job.

"There is beauty in truth, even if it's painful. Those who lie, twist life so that it looks tasty to the lazy, brilliant to the ignorant, and powerful to the weak. But lies only strengthen our defects. They don't teach anything, help anything, fix anything or cure anything. Nor do they develop one's character, one's mind, one's heart or one's soul." --José N. Harris Trump is a successful liar because he refuses to remember. Not only that: He refuses to anticipate that he will remember the current moment in the future. If you live mainly in the current moment, then the future consequences of your lies will not matter to you. And if you have lived your entire life this way, and to great acclaim and success, why would you ever want to change? Trump was annoyed when Dr. Fauci stole the spotlight by throwing out the first pitch for Major League Baseball’s opening game. In response, he falsely claimed that the Yankees invited him to throw out the first pitch. His lie was roundly refuted a short time later. The incident recalls Trump’s false boast that the crowd attending his 2017 inaugural address was the largest in history. Objective photographic evidence decisively refuted that lie. And yet Trump never pulls back on blatantly false statements - lies that are so obvious that they often defy the laws of physics, chemistry and common sense. The key to Trump’s psychology is that he moves through life as “the episodic man.” For Trump, each day is a temporary moment of time. Psychological research shows that nearly all adults develop stories in their minds about their own lives. These stories - what psychologists call “narrative identities” - reconstruct the past and imagine the future. As you make daily decisions, you implicitly remember how you have come to be who you are, and you anticipate where your life may be going. You live within narrative time. But the episodic man does not live that way. Instead, he immerses himself in the angry, combative moment, striving desperately to win the moment. But the episodes do not add up. They do not form a narrative arc. In Trump’s case, it is as if he wakes up each morning nearly oblivious to what happened the day before. What he said and did yesterday, in order to win yesterday, no longer matters to him. And what he will do today, in order to win today, will not matter for tomorrow. What is truth for the episodic man? Truth is whatever works to win the moment. For most people, and every other president in the history of the US, an episodic life would be unsustainable in the long run. There is a primal authenticity in Trump. He tells you exactly what he feels in the moment. He lies straight to your face, without shame, without any concern for future consequences. It is the stark audacity of untruth.

“I love the poorly educated” -Trump 2/24/2016

i'm old enough to have gone through many presidential elections.. never have i heard the word lunatic and treason to describe an actual viable candidate LOL.. how low we have sunk...

It's absurd that these people see _very clearly_ who & what Trump is... yet in the next breath they say they'd ignore those things & vote for him. It's not just shocking it's mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯

Because of Trump, I changed from Republican to Democrat in 2017. My husband on January 6th also changed.

4 MORE YEARS FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN 2024

The scary thing is that Trump is still leading in the recent polls. I simply don’t understand how anyone can vote for a person with his lack of character (yes, I’m being polite).

"The voice of reason, not the voice of treason" should be a shirt

America has been peaceful. So we want 4 more years of chaos? He won't leave next time so peacefully. That's not America!!

Haley said that she would pardon trump she’s a big no to

Let’s all say it together…COUNTRY OVER PARTY!

the power of cognitive dissonance is strong in a person who calls someone a 'lunatic' and turns around and votes for them.

"The voice of reason, not the voice of treason." 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

People who issue death threats against anyone who disagrees with Trump or tries to hold him accountable, gravitate towards Trump. That tells you all you need to know about his character.

Would've been nice if they'd figured that out EIGHT YEARS AGO.

Voice of reason vs. Voice of treason. That is a good one to remember.

Why would anyone in their right mind vote for Donald Trump. Make it make sense.

This isn't Democrat's versus Republican's. This election is Americans versus the terrible things MAGA has done to this country while claiming to be patriots. I may not fully support Joe, but every policy is worse under Trump and we need someone who isn't a narcissist who wants to actually help Americans and not just the rich ones like Donald proposes. Don't just vote blue also bring 2 with you.💙

“It will be a hard decision.” Wow. Just wow.

It’s SO sad how could ANYONE who realizes how dangerous DT is and they would still vote for him????? It’s unbelievable?!?!?!

Voice of reason, not treason

"It will be a hard decision". No it won't fools. There is nothing difficult about the decision about democracy 🙄.

I could have told them he was a lunatic years ago, and I'm not even American. I'm Canadian. Why did it take them so long?

Its not about lunatic and not; its about Democracy vs Autocracy.

I love "The quieter voice, the voice of reason, Nikki Haley. They can write her in. I will vote for Biden though.

Even Repubs are tired of Trump's lunacy.

The voice of reason. Not the voice of treason.

I voted for Haley today in NC, I know she won't win, but every vote for her is a nail in Drumfs coffin. Come November, all Dems.

Thank heaven, that we still have Republicans who are normal. I wish the Republican party was the same as it used to be. Now it’s unrecognizable.

These people who say trump is a lunatic or dangerous...but will vote for him over President Biden are very confused/unbalanced!

I don't understand the trepidation for voting for democracy! What is wrong with people's thinking? We need to stop voting (D) or (R) and vote for our country and freedom and democracy.

There is no question that America is a strong country with a strong leader such as Biden as our current president right now than it ever was when Trump was president.

The lunacy is voting for someone you consider a lunatic.

Voice of reason not the voice of treason. I love it.

The Biden campaign should steal that lady's "The Voice of Reason, Not the Voice of Treason" tagline.

Mr. Trump is the voice of treason!

What took them so long to realize that fact? Lock him up!

Unfortunately, most of them will probably, ultimately, vote Dump.

"That man is a lunatic" from the lips of someone who would still vote for him is just game recognizing game.

Ah the voice of reason not of Treason . Voice of sanity, not insanity.

Unbelievable that Rep voters who say trump is a lunatic would still vote for him over Biden. How can that be considered ‘patriotic’? Better to sit out the vote or write in someone else.

They will be partisans right to the bitter end of American democracy. Then what will they do? Never, ever vote for the party alone, it's stupid and not in one's best interest.

Well at least some of them are waking up to the fact that the tangelo traitor is not the one to be voting for in November.

😂😂😂😂 "voice of reason, not treason"

I am not at all sure that Trump ever actually learned, as every toddler must, that merely wishing or imagining or saying something doesn't make it true.

So the first one says he’s a lunatic but she will vote for him if he picks a vice president. Are they nuts!!!

I have never understood this staunch party line voting. I had always voted my conscience, whether it had been Republican or Democrat as to who would be the best choice to move this country forward. I say 'had' in the sense that in 2016 I realized that the republican party was no longer advocating for our chinstrap or

If you hesitate to vote for Biden rather than Trump, the question also becomes unfitness as a voter.

How can one live with themselves when that person labels Trump a lunatic but would most likely vote for him if it is a Biden vs. Trump?

With all the complaints of attitude , behavior and lies of trump , these people can't make up their minds about whether Biden or trump would be the better president ? REALLY ? Too many of our countrys citizens have literally lost THEIR MINDS !

Ugh. Don’t vote a lunatic in control of the nuclear codes. If you can’t bring yourself to vote the opposition, then write in whom you think is ideal.

That “voice of reason vs voice of treason” line was mint 👌🏻

"The voice of reason not treason" Wow what a great campaign slogan! 🤣🤣

I left the republican party when I saw how he responded to covid 19. He made people feel a sense of security when they shouldn't have and cost lives and loved ones.

For Republicans, you vote who is good for your country. America over Trump or party.

😂😂 so its a bad idea to have a madman in charge of nuclear weapons?! Noooo wayyyyy😂

What is in the water?? How would you not know what to do? Duh

"The man is a Lunatic....." The mic got dropped and I loved it! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Absolutely no way a vote for Me-Me is better in November. This country usually voted along party lines but sometimes you have to cross those lines.

HOW IS THIS A DIFFICULT DECISION????????????????????? Are you kidding?

The Voice of Reason Not Treason! That speaks volume.

He hasn't changed... at least some people's self awareness is developing! SHE admitted she would pardon him! ****************** < insert inappropriate phrases! If you are looking for perfection, it doesn't exist!

Lunatic vs Zombie. Which is closer to reality?

McCaskill was excellent and Nicolle too, as usual. Vote 🟦

Absolutely, the penny drops! "The man is a lunatic"!!

Be smart and wise people we don't want a lunatic!!

Vote Blue!!! Save democracy!!!!!

these people say 'I think' I am certain none of them do. I mean, glad they hate Trump now but Jesus

Their ignorance is their master.

She said, "I think Trump is a lunatic but I'm still voting for him". What the?😮😮

Whether or not Trump wants to pick a "normal" person as VP, his whole being will scream "pick the biggest bootlicker". Maybe not, stranger things have happened.

Nikki is not a good choice. Either she is flip floppy, she'll say whatever not qualities of a leader but maybe a helper that you keep your eyes on you don't get doubled crossed.

Thank God for these people. It gives me hope.

Too Crazy, For A Lot Of, People!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's time to leave the two party system?

Is Donald Trump a role model for your children? Would you leave your children or pets alone with Donald Trump? all i've got to say about that guy........vote for your children and pets.😉

Thank God some understand a “party” isn’t important.

What's wrong with the American People?

"the voice of reason versus the voice of treason". Brilliant. that woman needs to trademark that and start selling t-shirts.

Educators: please get together to develop school curricula that teaches basic, sequential logic and reasoning skills. Eventually, this could help us to avoid electing any more destructively moronic, Trump-like candidates.

Well, at least they are seeing tRump from our point of view. But still voting for any "R" is a threat to our country!

They're so close, yet so far.SMH

I appreciate that Shaq dug deep with his questioning, doing so respectfully to these voters. I really got an understanding of where their headspace is at and how they'd likely vote with certain scenarios. I was particularly curious about Ms Monica, considering what she said about Trump, and I got my answer thanks to his probing. Nice job!
