[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you said white men, not most white men. Gross generalization to stir the pot. Inject a little nuance into your statement and then have a real discussion.

This is just as bad as saying women will vote for Clinton just because she is a woman. Gender is not part of my calculus so why should I assume it is for white men?[/quote]
OK, so I changed the title -- added "majority".  The polls back up how majority of white men, especially non educated, support Trump.

"Trump led Clinton among men overall (56 percent to 34 percent), white male college graduates (59 to 33) and white men without college degrees (76 to 14)."

""This is the group that economically and socially have lost the most ground in America over the last 30 or 40 years," he told ABC News on Tuesday. [b]"There was a time when, by virtue of being a man, you could feel superior to women in the workforce.[/b] There was a time when you could make a pretty good living in manufacturing, and that’s disappearing. There was a time when you didn’t feel a lot of competition from immigrants ... and that's disappearing.""

I feel  like to this group of men, HRC epitomizes the loss of their "manness", and dark skin immigrants epitomizes the loss of their manufacturing jobs (which really started with Reagan when those jobs started moving down south).

Take [b]''afraid''[/b] out of the subject line and then there is nothing to chat about.

I mean, I could just as easily use any minority and ask why they are afraid of Trump, or any Republican.[/quote]
OP here.  I am a female minority.  I, and many other Republicans, are afraid of Trump because of his policies, his recklessness and willingness to use nuclear arms, to murder the children of terrorists as a means to justify the ends; of his hateful rhetoric, and how it's dividing this country; his economic policies that will make the US into a 3rd world country, and kill the environment.  Isn't that enough reason to be afraid of Trump?[/quote]
