The Trump fans on my Facebook feed are oddly quiet this morning.

There's absolutely nothing from any of them either bashing Hillary or pimping Trump.

Usually I'll see a couple of posts by morning's end to that effect.

Have they come to the sober realization that Hillary is a competent, serious candidate, and that the Madman is a joke?

They are as vile as ann coulter in what they say about Hillary. They even accuse her of wearing pantsuits because she really wants to be a man. But this leads me to believe they are worried and desperate.

Some repubs want to be able to support him but the more it goes on the less comfortable they feel

Jeffrey Lord was dumbstruck last night on CNN. All he could think of was Juanita Broderick and the debt. Widely scorned by the other panelists.

They are busy posting all the negative stuff they can find on HRC. I asked one, where's the positive stuff on your candidate? No response.

14 months ago it was exposed, most of his FB friends paid malaysians and fillipinos he pays $400 a month. Only in the last few months have real American people joined in. Batshit crazy Americans. Earlier in the year I would write something on there daily and crickets. Now, there are real people on there and they come after you bigtime with insults, just like their leader.

About how not too long ago they "hated each other" and "why would anyone vote for Hillary Clinton"?

Not a word in support of Trump. I'm sure he intends to vote for him but is too ashamed to come clean.

I assume they are not total dicks or you would have unliked them, or whatever it is called. Unfriend I guess. I do not do any of that stuff so I do not know.

But perhaps they are capable of feeling shame. Trump's Russia stuff is the real deal. Serious stuff. Unless they are total tea party types, those statements are devastating.

We are so used to always taking 'our side' no matter what we go there by instinct. But what if Bernie, or Hillary came out and said something like 'Mao and Stalin were on the right track'. We would look for excuses, but pretty quickly STFU. Of course, Bernie, Hillary and I support capitalism(heavily regulated) so please no alerts or anything. Just making a point.

I really think he jumped the shark. People are now paying attention and just realized they bought a pig in a poke. I thank God(not an atheist, just a liberal Christian) that this did not happen before their convention. They now own him.

This has been one of the best weeks I have had in a long time.

I hope you have a very nice weekend.
