But they're not willing to admit it publicly in North Korea because they would probably be killed in the United States.

It's not that you'll be killed if you turn on Trump, although he might send you into a war where you will be killed.

But you would be ostracized by the movement, by family members who still support him, whatever.

And so the point I'm trying to make is when we start hearing from people and this is a mess, a lot of us can't stand the guy anymore.

We're going to get crushed.

That realization happened a long time prior, and it takes a while for them to start being willing to say it publicly.

Just one other example of this.

Again, this is a CPAC attendee from a few weeks ago.

This is a CPAC attendee just laying into Trump over the war in Iran, which has been a very, very controversial issue for Trump.

He didn't run on.

I will start new wars.

He ran on ending wars and keeping us out of stupid wars.

He told us hundreds of times.

Is it thousands?

It was certainly hundreds during his various campaigns.

He ran as the guy who was going to stop sending Americans into foreign conflicts that would get people killed for no real reason.

Endless entanglements in the Middle East were part of the central pitch of what he wouldn't do.

Hillary would get us into four wars.
