i'm not sure i'm deciphering your comment correctly. you're saying that some people decided they liked him, or at least found him interesting, but are now finding out that he is more conservative than they assumed and are losing interest?
I really like that Pete was the only one with the balls to say, "Yeah, uh, nope" when asked that stupid Boston Bomber voting question.

Yeah, I think many had an initial favorable impression that faded when they learned more about him. There's also people who never liked him that are lashing out because he's doing as well as he is compared to their preferred candidate.

Letting convicts vote while incarcerated is probably one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard. Right up there with letting 16 year olds vote. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
TIL prisoners count in the census for population of census districts in some states (but then aren't allowed to vote). That's pretty crazy!

it's very weird that you perceive that to be a non-answer.

"It's dumb" and "it's ridiculous" aren't very compelling counterarguments
