What Kind of Person is Supporting Trump?

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.



I can't stand Trump, but LOL, you call that "extremely well written,"a guy who sounds more like Trump than anyone else.

As for Trump assuring Democrats in November, I wouldn't count your chickens when you're running a hippie socialist against a felon

"The ultimate goal is white genocide. Plus any white "woman" that would lower themselves to the level of beastiality is better off ending the blood line they are ending...because something OBVIOUSLY got messed up in their genetics. My ex sister is a disgusting race mixing whore with 2 UGLY nigglets with their shit colored skin and kinky hair it must be depressing waking up every day to 2 kids that look NOTHING like you.I wouldn't know I married within my own race and have 4 awesome white children that have features of me and their mother."

Odium is a socialist, a liberal, in other words. He supports Obama as well.
You Republicans have become irrelevant thanks to trump.
 
My dad was a cook at Ford 1975-1995 and was able to raise two kids.

Do Republicans want to return to those days?
The way you turned out? Fuck no.
Ten months my home paid off I'm 45. Live on a lake, living the dream. I just understand Ford paid well because a union made them. And non union companies paid better for fear of unionization and competition with union wages.

As unions have disappeared wages have declined. No coincidence
Wages have declined because the economy has declined. No coincidence. Businesses are flocking out of the US, explain how increasing their costs will motivate them to stay or come back.
Why did the economy decline? Too many jobs went overseas. No coincidence. Apparently American workers want too much.
You didn't explain how increasing costs brings them back. Give it another go.
 
I stopped reading this shit here.

Working Class Whites are not now, nor have been for quite a long time, been a member of any "preferred class".

Of course they are. If you and Jamal send in a resume, you are twice as likely to get an interview as Jamal is.
If Jamal's mother had named him Hedrick and he spoke proper English instead of ghetto Ebonics, he could easily get a job. See, employers aren't prejudiced against names like "Jamal" because they associate it with skin color, the are prejudiced because they associate such names with illegitimate welfare babies who were selling drugs in school instead of studying for their classes.

What does that have to do with the idiocy paperview posted?

Uh... sounds like a winner... the Intelligentsia at work. Despising the working class as untermenschen...
He should have said preferred race.

It would have been just as untrue.
White is the preferred race in this nation.

More liberal obsession with race first
 
You left out kicking their puppies when no one is looking.
People want a moderate. I talk to so many rational successful whites who believe in capitalism but understand the value of a government that defends us from enemies at home and abroad.

American corporations don't pay better than Mexican employers because they are nice, want to or because they are patriotic.

Republicans reveal their ignorance win they suggest liberals think corporations and rich people are the enemies. They are not enemies but make no mistake they are not our friends either they don't care about us they only care about making money and themselves

Correct, just as employees could care less about the lives of their employers.

My employer is my boss. He's not my social worker. He's there to make money, and so am I.
What if your employer is making all the profits and stops giving you raises every year for 30 years?

In a good economy you could go somewhere else but the competition arguments don't cut it when we have the market flooded with workers.

I went to lunch with my pharmaceutical rep buddy yesterday. He is just happy he survived all the cuts after the bush recession. This isn't the kind of economy where you can just go to another pharma company. Then you'll have to move. Long story short is in this post 90s economy, people are stuck where they are and just glad to be working. No one has leverage to ask for a raise.

This is why trumps popular. He admits you sent too many jobs overseas
Employers make all the profits because that's why they have the business. Your pay comes from the profits. How does that confuse you? Off shore work is done because of the high costs here. What I don't get is why someone with little to no knowledge shares the misinformation so freely, it's like a self flagulation or something.

How do we get an economy where the worker can leave to go get a better wage elsewhere?

Stop importing low wage labor from third world countries.
 
Do you take a breath in between your sleazy talking points?
Not my talking points, everything is from trumps own mouth.

Spare us. Do you actually expect people to believe the swill you're dispensing?
Huh? Have you actually listened to any of Trumps speeches or whatever he calls them. Just listen to the man himself. Oh because I use his own words about him, he might try to sue me. You must not like the constitution because every speech he has goes against the founding documents of this country. This is the ultimate popularity contest for him. Lol. And you are buying him hook line and sinker. And the sheep follow.
The religious right are supporting trump now because he stands a chance of winning. They don't seem to care if he's a racist. They only care about electability. No sense in endorsing huckabee if he can't win.

And Christie backs trump. Does this confirm the GOP is the racist party?

There isn't a shred of evidence that Trump is a racist. That's a meme that Democrats have pulled out in every election.
No but republican policies are racist.

Too bad trumps not running as a democrat but he knew which party has the weaker candidates. He sounds like a liberal conservative to me.

I like trump compared to rubio or kasich but we need that supreme Court nominee and I don't want trump giving McConnell and Ryan what I know they will ask him for.

If trump wins I won't be negative about it. I'll be cusiously optimistic.

If they don't come back they can't do business here, or they pay tariffs. I'm sure they have American competitors that would love to have their business.

China doesn't let corporations just come sell to their citizens without having plants in China and I'm sure those corporations pay their fair share. No?
 
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.

Maybe at a later date, you can let us know how it feels to have no spine or conviction. Not today. I'm proudly voting for HRC because she is the best qualified person to seek the office since Bush 41. That is a fact. It's great to not have to "settle" for one of her larger supporters.

She's also a criminal that hasn't been caught yet, and you're criticizing my voting criteria?

You may not admit it, but the only reason you'll vote for Hillary is to keep whoever the Republican nominee is out of office. She's under FBI investigation, she's loaded with baggage, she has conversations with dead people, she's up in the years and even has some medical problems to be concerned with, she thinks people are shooting at her when she gets off of planes, and this is somebody you really want to have access to the red button?

Of course not, nobody would. You (and all the other liberals) will vote for her to keep the Republican out.

Mr Trump is older than she is and has serious legal trouble of his own.

He has no serious legal troubles. Businesses are all subjected to lawsuits by the dozens. Trump is going to win this one. Otherwise he would have settled out of court.

Which Republican policies are racist?
 
And they have to share the profits with workers in America. Something companies don't have to do in mexico. If they did they'd be able to sell their products in mexico.

Which Republican policies are racist?
Any of them that keep wages down or defunds safety nets that help cities with high crime and poverty

So the Democrat policy of flooding this country with cheap foreign labor is racist?

BTW, welfare creates crime. It doesn't reduce crime.

If the companies don't come back they can't do business here? That's going to increase job opportunities? Milwaukee sold to a Chinese company, so the brand would be banned here? Do you think this stuff through?
 
There was nothing good about the Nazi rule of Germany. Nothing.

There were a lot of good things about Germany in the late 1930's. The compatidon is even more appropriate as the problems Germany needed to fix in the 1930s were caused by interaction with foreigners, especially militarily, and allowing foreign and international forces to dictate German policies. Their mistake was focusing on expanding beyond their borders rather than becoming Isolationist.
