Even if they're far right wing republicans that agree with him, don't they see that there's not a chance in hell he'll win? even my own far right wing husband says he would never vote for him. What the hell? As a democrat, I think it's kind of humorous and of course sad. Being from the south, I don't see any of my crazy as hell Facebook friends supporting him, they condemn him. So who is actually wiling to vote for Trump? |
I believe there is a silent majority or at least sizable population that privately agrees with him. |
There are a few Trump signs in our very diverse neighborhood. I'm sort of offended by the signs. I was actually pondering going out at 3am and disposing of them. But I don't need to end up in jail over this.... |
He has tapped into a vein of ignorance and racism that has always been there. A bigger problem is that the 75% of Republicans who don't support him and would never vote for him (myself included) are scattered among half a dozen other candidates. If they can get behind one candidate (Christie, Bush....) it will sink Trump. But time is running out..... |
I voted primarily democratic, but I like Trump for his straight talk. Sometimes the politically incorrect solutions are the right ones to solve the problems. I can see him being elected the president. He can't do any worse than the career politicians we have. |
I haven't talked to anyone in real life who supports him. I just don't get it.

I don't like Trump but I agree with what you said and I think that's exactly why people like Trump. He's actually saying things and isn't worried about political correctness. My relatives are very upset that the border laws aren't being enforced and they're still struggling from the recession. They see new refugees as yet another set of people they have to support with their tax dollars, yet they look around and see Americans who have paid taxes still hurting. It's easy in DC to think everyone is doing well, but rural America just isn't. |
Years back, I saw an Obama bumper sticker with his face in the cross hairs at our school. I thought about defacing it but, like you, I'm not going to jail for some idiot. I went to the voting booth instead. There's your power. |
Terrifying. |
I have two sets of friends on facebook who LOVE Trump and are campaigning for him. The super rich (I figure they think he'll lower their taxes) and the very poor and uneducated (I think they're hoping for less taxes and more laws being enforced). |
They don't even understand Trump won't even let them into his overpriced hotels much less they're able to afford it. |
No, you don't vote primarily democratic. And even if you did, that doesn't mean anything. Mocking a disabled man goes beyond un-PC. Openly arguing for discrimination against US citizens goes beyond anti-PC. He's just a terrible human being, and you are too, for agreeing with him. |
This is kind of scary that a rich person would be pro-Trump. |
My in-laws. Who are actually nice people. But who are woefully uninformed, brainwashed, NRA-card-carrying Evangelicals. I love them anyway. |
I'm quite certain you don't know what "majority" means. |
