What Kind of Person is Supporting Trump?

[Davros]

A fool for saying it's fascist to want to deport the half of the nation that votes against your party?

No you're a fool to vote for an incompetent old hag.

Never have I voted for Hillary. Never do I plan to.

Then all your posts are irrelevant. Vote for Pantsuit or Trump, or your vote is wasted.

That's absurd. No vote is a wasted vote.

You apparently missed the 92 election. You are quite naive, my son.

Votes for Perot were not a waste. Votes for Nader in 2000 were not a waste.

What Kind of Person is Supporting Trump?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Non-republicans are nonetheless placing their trust in average, everyday, rank and file republicans to do the right thing and reject Trump as their nominee.

If not, then the American people will reject Trump during the GE, refusing to have a con artist and snake oil salesman as president, and republicans will have lost yet another presidential election.

Let's see:

A successful businessman vs a criminal under FBI investigation.

A successful businessman vs an admitted Socialist.

Yep, those informed Americans will surly vote against Trump.

People who go bankrupt four times are not successful. They are coddled by plutocratic laws.

In business you work the system to your advantage.

Doesn't make those who do any less worthless.

Worthless? You mean worthless as in billionaire?

I think that anybody who can use their resources for success is a good trait to have in a President.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

oh stuff it. you snobs are the worst of all mankind in my book. your noses are so high up in the air you block the sun off your face.

low and slimy and that includes the author of the garbage and the LASlimes for putting it out

Ever noticed wgat direction Trump's nose is pointed when he's not speaking.

Funny how you think you're not voting for an elitist when you're voting for a freakin' New York billionare! You rubes!

What is even more bizarre is the circumstances.

I mean, if you were to have a field of Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, Pierre Dupont, Steve Forbes, John McCain, Al Haig, or even Phil Gramm and toss Donald Trump into the mix, I could understand the appeal. These other guys represent the old GOP in many ways are out of touch.

But in the 2016 election (if you believed the rhetoric from 2008 and 2012) they had a dyed-in-the-wool conservative in Ted Cruz who apparently is to the Constitution what Billy Graham is the Bible insofar as thinking we should be living by centuries old edicts. He is a moron from my standpoint as a liberal but from the Conservative standpoint he is exactly what every moron here said they wanted.

And once they got the chance to vote for one in a national election....they vote for someone else and the most liberal person running for the nomination of the GOP....

I usually dismiss conspiracy theories but this one really sounds as if there may be some traction to it; why else would the party of conservatives reject the man who is not on the most conservative but one who had a real chance at the nomination.

The way I see it it's not a liberal/ conservative thing. It's more about a political correctness thing.

Give the Republicans some credit. They are trying to change the party unlike the Democrats who simply march in lockstep and drifting further and further left.

Tea Party or Establishment, they all have promised us things and not delivered. That's because for the most part, they are professional politicians and their lives depend on staying in politics.

The message here is that we are sick of professional politicians. Say this and do that. Their only concern after getting elected is their reelection, and they are willing to sell their first born to get that reelection.

One of the attractions of Trump is that he doesn't care. If we elect him President, fine, he'll take the job. If we don't elect him President, fine, he's got plenty of other things to do. His life doesn't depend on politics or money. Therefore he means what he says. He doesn't back down from anybody including the politically correct leftist media.

So, we can expect all 24 GOP candidates to lose their Senate re-election campaigns then right? I mean, you said:

"Tea Party or Establishment, they all have promised us things and not delivered. That's because for the most part, they are professional politicians and their lives depend on staying in politics. "

We should be hearing about Senators like Ayotte, Portman and Rubio to get primaried then...right?

If they stand for re-election in the fall, it simply means that the GOP is no more (or less) angry at their members of congress than the Democrats.

Well when it comes to voting, most of us don't vote a candidate in because we love them so much, we are more concerned with keeping the worst candidate out.

Much like past elections, I won't be voting for Trump, Rubio, Cruz or even Kasich if he makes it. I'll be voting to keep Hillary out of the White House.

When this author says that trump isn't afraid to tell it like it is is he implying that their really is a problem with illegal immigration and no one has the balls to say it out loud.

Thank you, I think I will. I want to keep Cradle-to-Gravers out of my life and government. I want to separate my country from Socialism/ Communism as much as I can and I don't care if our candidate is Donald Duck.

The current President of yours was supported by the US Communist Party both elections. HIs potential successors are one of two people: an admitted Socialist that spent his honeymoon in the USSR and never had a steady paycheck until the age of 40, and the other under FBI investigation for her dealings with a family charity and e-mails that were supposed to be on a secure government server instead of the one in her basement.

No you're a fool to vote for an incompetent old hag.

Never have I voted for Hillary. Never do I plan to.

Then all your posts are irrelevant. Vote for Pantsuit or Trump, or your vote is wasted.

That's absurd. No vote is a wasted vote.

You apparently missed the 92 election. You are quite naive, my son.

Votes for Perot were not a waste. Votes for Nader in 2000 were not a waste.

They didn't win, ergo they were a waste. If you voted for Ross Perot or Ralph Nader, basically you were used as a tool. Essentially, all third party runs are good for is use as a weapon by a third party candidate to sabotage one or the other two party candidate's chances of winning the Presidency (or whatever office it may be). It's not motivated out of concern for the values they espouse to, or the people who vote for them, but to help or hurt a candidate they agree or disagree with.

In an extremely well written letter to the editor in this morning's Los Angeles Times, a reader writes:

"The GOP has done this to itself. By encouraging the hateful rhetoric and anti-government vitriol of Fox News and others, the party has set the stage for Trump ..... Less educated working class whites are afraid of the demographic and cultural changes coming because it means the loss of their status as members of the preferred class. The GOP has taken advantage of this by whipping up fear and anger among them. Along comes their savior, Trump, who tells them what they want to hear.

"The monster is loose, Dr. Frankenstein. Your creature is going to kill you."

I couldn't agree more. Trump is easily on of the most annoying people I have ever seen. His arrogance and lack of humility are exceeded only by his rudeness and obvious lack of class. Can you imagine any presidential candidate in the last 60 years conducting himself the way Trump does on a daily basis? I was listening to the most recent Republican "debate" the other night. Can you imagine Dwight David Eisenhower, Jack Kennedy or, for that matter, Ronald Reagan, saying anything even close to the things that Trump is saying? Of course not.

Times have changed, you say? It's a new dawn for the conducting of presidential campaigns, you say? Hogwash. Have the standards for President of the United States changed? I don't think so. This man is so obviously the wrong person for the job it is not even funny - it's tragic.

"I'm for Trump because he's not afraid to tell it like it is!" Translation? "Trump is a bigoted asshole and so am I!" I feel sadness for all of those who purport to support this arrogant jerk. How they are unable to see beyond his obvious facade is beyond me.

I have mixed emotions about who will ultimately get the Republican nomination. My sincere hope is that it will be Trump, for obvious reasons. It will insure a Democratic victory in November.

What kind of people are for Cruz rubio or kasich?

I am for Kasich. I am a Moderate Democrat. My stare has open primary and no party registration so I'm voting in the Republican primary for Kasich.

You had better hope Trump (or whoever wins) picks Kasich to be his VP, or once again, your vote will be wasted.

Oops...

So very true.

The right wing of the Republican Party is attached at the HIP to right wing radio talk shows and FOX News. A Trump supporter is engulfed in 3 or more daily hours of right wing talk radio that is filled with right wing hyperbole designed to inflame them. Then later it's all FOX News who also inflames their audiences, with 1/2 truths which are always designed to be on the "right wing side" of the equation.

They know nothing more than what they've been told by right wing talk show hosts. They refuse to turn the channel to other news stations. They refuse to read any sites, other than right wing sites, that are of course written by the right wing. They are ignorant of anything else, and frankly won't believe anything else other than what they're been told by right wing talk show hosts. A typical Trump supporter believes Trump to be a John Wayne figure, but because of their ignorance of the national electorate, they don't realize that Trump is Colonel Custer and they're part of the 7th Calvary. It's because no right wing talk show hosts will ever disclose to them, which candidate can win the White House, and which one won't and the reasons for that.

So FOX News, Mr. talent on loan from Gawwwdd (Rush Limbaugh) Shawn Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Marc Levine and all the rest have made their beds, now they don't want to sleep in them. They have shattered the Republican party into pieces. This is what happens when political news, goes into entertainment, designed for ratings and profits.

Because of them Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS.
