How many real trump supporters on DCUM

[Anonymous]

Not me. Not ever. And I'm a Republican. I honestly do not get it - Trump is a film flam man - whose understanding of anything is a millimeter deep.

I don't get this -- Obama as a Greek column? I don't even understand the insult.

There are real Trump supporters here, no doubt. I believe most or all of them are resentful white people. Most of them are men.

I am not a Trump supporter. I hate what he's done to the party. I voted for Kasich in the primary, only because he was the best of what's left.

That said, I will vote for Trump over Clinton -- no questions asked.

Live stream of the Costa Mesa rally as people are lined up waiting to get in. Looks like a drone camera.

I find this view baffling. If you hate him so much, why not write in Kasich or Romney or whoever? Why vote for someone you hate and whom you feel is destroying the party?

I think there are Trump supporters for sure who don't declare it.

I say this because I have friends and acquaintances who do tell me they will support Trump even though they are not willing to publicize it. There is still a bit of a stigma associated with supporting Trump.

BTW, they are not racists or bigots or uneducated. Just very normal people who have lost faith in the system and conventional politicians. None of them think that Trump is ideal but they believe that going with one of the establishment politicians will merely mean more of the same - whether it is Hillary or anyone else in the Republican party.

Some like Bernie but think he is too far out there in terms of his socialistic views.

From listening to this, I suspect some Republicans will vote for Clinton instead:

So they'll vote for a racist, xenophobic, misogynist but you think they're entirely unprejudiced?

It's really not that baffling. It's an anti-Clinton vote more than a pro-Trump vote. A vote for Romney or Kasich in the general election is truly a vote for Hillary. I would vote for Obama before I vote for Hillary Clinton (most of his problems have been those of naive idealism - she's just a lying liar). However, if the only two candidates possible were Clinton or Sanders, I'd vote Clinton. However, I think that most Sanders enthusiasts and Trump enthusiasts are closer than the rest of us. There could be a much bigger crossover of Bernie fans heading out to vote Trump for the same reason I will do so, even though we couldn't be farther apart politically.

Whoops - the glass of wine spoke. Too many howevers there.

So you won't vote for Hillary because you believe she's a liar. But you're willing to believe Donald Trump is not a liar, despite a great deal of evidence that he is.

Trump is an "every man's liar." He lies in the same way your neighbor does about his retirement fund or your husband does about what he can bench. The lies are so earnest and transparent that you can't help but know he truly couldn't be that crazy. Honestly, like I said, I'm not a true supporter though so I do understand what you're saying. My problem is that Hillary has been part of the layered web of lies for so long that she doesn't even realize she's the source of the problem, not the answer. Throughout most of her tenure as Sec of State, I tried to change my mind about her. Then Benghazi happened. It wasn't even a joke. Her lies were base and real and horrid.

Wow. That's quite a rationalization.

Versus the rationalization you've apparently made? That Clinton's lies don't affect our Nation at it's core?
