About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Shifts in Trump's Base

Many of the Republicans who were initially repulsed by Trump have done a complete 180 on their views and will now be proudly voting for him in 2020. Apparently, impeachment proceedings led by the democrats were a large factor as to what caused them to change their minds. Anyhow, I just thought this article was interesting, as we talk a lot about impeachment proceedings in class but haven't really covered how they may affect Trump's base especially among different subsets of the Republican party.
