Ex-Trump campaign spox Caroline Sunshine says she tried to sound the alarm for President Donald Trump over her sense that he’s losing the base — but the White House isn’t taking her calls.

On Friday, news broke that two U.S. warplanes — an F-15 and an F-35 — were shot down by Iranian missiles and two other aircraft were hit by Iranian fire during rescue operations. One member of the F-15 crew is still missing.

On Friday night’s edition of CNN’s The Story Is, host Elex Michaelson asked Sunshine what she’s hearing from her old pals who are in he White House now:

MICHAELSON: What are you hearing from your friends in the White House for speaking out like this publicly?

SUNSHINE: It’s a good question. I don’t hear a lot. I wish they would maybe pick up the phone more. I think that there’s an information ecosystem around the President right now that is designed to keep opinions like mine out or demonize supporters like me as disloyal and not relevant to hear from, and that needs to change. The President is not getting an information ecosystem around him right now that is giving him the full picture of where his base is at. I am the President’s base, and the base is leaving. There was a poll on your network, showing a 100 percent of MAGA supports this war. But who’s MAGA? Who’s MAGA? Because what I’m hearing from everyone is I’m a three time Trump voter, and I’m not MAGA anymore. I’m not — I’m now non-MAGA. MAGA, the base is leaving because they don’t agree with this conflict, and they don’t believe that this is what they voted for, and they’re correct.

1. with all due respect Ms. Sunshine (NONE), GO FUCK YOURSELF

SOOOOOO many of us tried to warn your sorry fucking asses - ALL THIS SHYTE IS ON YOU

[Aristus]

9. That's my Skittles...

[calimary]

10. Hey, it sure works for me, too.

[lonely bird]

17. Count me in as well

Buncha whiny snowflakes. Fuck their fee-fees.

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. No shit!!!

They want us to forget that they were warned.

Fuck them all.

[turbinetree]

15. I could not have said it better..................beautiful.............

[Tetrachloride]

2. F 35,,,, this is of concern in general in my area

because of a local squadron

[Raven123]

3. Trump has insulated himself from outside views his entire life

He stumbled into the presidency. His brand appealed to just enough people, at just the right time to get him elected and stoke his ego. His moment is passing. He knows it. The BS about Heaven and God is an admission that he knows it. His obsession with putting his name on everything is an admission that he knows it. The whole East Wing project is an admission that he knows it. His campaign for the Nobel is an admission that he knows it. He is trying not to be relegated to the trash heap of history. It’s gonna happen. I do wonder if they will ever actually build the “library” or take the money and run. I think it is an even bet right now.

[bobalew]

14. When we get finished with him that "Library" will end up looking

Like the Dumpster of history it deserved to be...

[mercuryblues]

20. He'll fuck up his library on his own.

Remember this is a guy that bankrupted casinos.

[OC375]

4. Even sycophancy has limits

Death cults are generally short lived, LOL.

[JHB]

5. The Party of Ahab finally figures out they're not getting their white whale steak dinners for life...

...and the hagfish aren't paying for it. They're not paying for a damned thing, the Ahabs themselves are footing the bill.

6. Nothing turns a Cult_of_Trump member off more than the effect

Dear Leader's nonsensical decisions have on their daily lives.

Could be anything -
Price of gas up.
Eggs ain't cheaper.
Your domestic servants or crop pickers not appearing for work.
The lack of 'keep the faith' messages from Dear Leader.
And, for the more intelligent MAGAts - Dear Leader picking people for government roles based on criteria that have nothing to do with past experience or demonstrable competency in any government role.

The stench of the rising swamp water loaded with Trump BS must be getting stronger.
Other countries certainly are noticing.

[Bluestocking]

7. That is BS

His base will never leave him. They are unable to. That is why they call it a cult. His base did not get him elected. There are not enough of them. His base can fuck off. We don’t need them to win back the house and senate. They are irrelevant and need to crawl back under their rocks or go back to their trailer parks. They are white trash and.need to be ignored.

[Aussie105]

8. Feel free to ignore his rusted on supporters and dismiss them

and those who don't believe but still support him.

See where that gets you.

Current mess is due to just that.

The media should be shouting the same message every day - IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO DO THINGS?
And try to wake up some dormant brain cells in the cult members and followers.

[orangecrush]

22. Calling people "white trash"

Because they are poor is wrong.

The real "white trash" live in mansions

I welcome anyone with enough sense to turn on Trump.

[Nasruddin]

11. Yeah sure, Sunshine

base is leaving

Uh huh. Look around. Who's with you?

This is the 1st stage of a Never-Trump Republican. The next is the realization that they are now alone - orphaned.
Isn't that the critical stage? They either go forward to the real world ... or back.

[AleksS]

13. Bah. I'll spot any amount you want

that they’ll still all vote Republican whenever they get a chance. All this “I’m not MAGA!” is just a smokescreen to cover their butts. They’ve learned nothing, and their behavior will not change. They’ll still vote for whoever spouts the most hate-filled rhetoric next election, and it’ll bite them in the butt again, and they’ll cry “Oh no! We don’t like HIM anymore” and then they’ll vote for the next fascist after that, and on and on forever.


If they could learn a lesson and weren’t just searching for the next racist that’ll pander to their hatred, we wouldn’t have been in this spot in the first place.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. Caroline, he wanted to hang his own VP on J6. He doesn't care about you.
