Sometimes it takes awhile for a Trump story/scandal to penetrate the general public. Take this totally anecdotal observation for what it’s worth, but the first two voters I’ve interviewed at polling place in Warren, MI today brought up the transfer of power comments unprompted.
Here's Valerie, a hospital lab tech, on those comments: "I was shocked. I feel as though what -- how could he not? If you're voted out dude, you just gotta walk out. And I mean you can't just fight it. What's the-- that's a child. You know what I mean? He's acting like a child."
And Linda:
GH: Something to get attention or do you think he means it?
LT: Get attention. he's a spoiled child. So uh *laughs* so he does things to get attention and to uh distract you from other things.
I set out just to listen to Michigan voters on the first day of early voting. So many mentioned the president's comments about the transition - several without me even asking - that it became the obvious focus of our @NBCNightlyNews report tonight:

One last thought on this. I had expected to hear much more about the Supreme Court than I ultimately did. But the voters I spoke to had clearly made up their minds a long time ago- at least on that issue. Nobody brought up the court as a primary reason for their vote.
