Deplorables Are Leaving Trump's Basket in Droves Over False Sex Tape Promise

The moral of this story?  Never piss off your base.

Pundits have been predicting the demise of Donald Trump's candidacy for over a year now. Most expected he would eventually say or do something so outrageous that he would lose any chance of securing undecided voters. Few, however, thought that Trump could ever lose his diehard supporters, especially Donald himself, who once stated that he could shoot someone in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue and not lose any of his core support.

And then Donald did the inexcusable -- he promised that a certain non-existent sex tape actually existed.  Last Friday, Trump continued his attack on Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado by tweeting:  "Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?"

Unfortunately for Donald, most if not all of his supporters did attempt to check out the Alicia Machado sex tape, but it was nowhere to be found. "I spent most of Friday morning scouring the internets for the sex tape Donald promised was out there," said an exasperated William "Shanker" McClusky, a former college placekicker currently awaiting trial for Sewage Fraud.  "When my thorough search yielded nothing, I repeatedly visited the Trump website to see if the campaign had posted a link, and even called Trump Campaign headquarters on Friday afternoon. They promised to get back to me -- they never did." 

That was it for McClusky, who said he will now vote for Jill Stein, assuming he is not convicted before Election Day.  "Look, I was fine with everything Trump said or did these last 14 months," he insisted. "After all, I was a Trump supporter not because of his great ideas or good temperament, but because he had neither. I wanted him to destroy America -- a country I no longer recognize or love -- and his election would've certainly done that.  But his sex tape lie was the first -- and last -- straw for me."

McClusky is not alone in feeling that way. An on-line poll from Pornhub.com -- taken between 2 am and 4:30 am this morning -- tells the story. Of those Trump supporters who responded to the poll, 68% say that they will no longer vote for Donald over his false sex tape promise.

Trump's campaign has taken this on-line non-scientific poll very seriously, and has responded by putting up porn links on the campaign website. But only time will tell if this gesture will bring back Donald's core supporters.
