I found it interesting in a conversation with my financial advisor* the other day that he specifically mentioned Warren as a threat to market values if she gets elected. I think he transitioned pretty cleanly from Hilary being the market anti-Christ to Warren being it.

The Trump-ites I am still acquainted with (and many of which I basically don’t talk to, just see their Facebook crap) seem to pretty much continue backing Trump verbally for one (or more) of three reasons:
1. The “he owns the libs” crap - which says a lot about them given that most of them are getting directly hurt by Trump’s policies.
2. They’re conservative Catholics for whom abortion is still a big thing and apparently is solely the fault of whoever the leading Democratic candidate is.
3. A few of them are pretty much racist to the core and still carry a lot of butt-hurt from the fact there was an Obama Administration.

* - I don’t discuss politics with him for a few reasons. Mainly because I know he wouldn’t budge from his conservative positions via discussion and wouldn’t be swayed by any evidence I provided. Too solidly based in his GOP-ness due to conservative Catholic upbringing**, market uber alles viewpoint (it’s what he does for a living), and I expect decades of exposure to the GOP talking points.

** - And there is a bit of hypocrisy here that I will not go into.
