[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a democrat . Voting for Obama was a huge mistake over Romney.  Trump seem competent and has a the Midas touch. Hillary has the everything turns to crap touch. For the good of the country and my children's future I'm voting for Trump.[/quote]

You need to look a bit closer at Trump's business record.  And you don't need to look all that close to realize how awful it is.  But you do help confirm my suspicion that [b]much of his support comes from confused Democrats.[/b]  Spot on about Obama being a mistake, though. [/quote]

??? Then who is voting for him in Republican primaries? Who are the registered Republicans that support him in the polls? Try again.[/quote]

I said SOME, not ALL.  Also, primary voters are not typical of general election voters.  In the primaries/caucuses (many of which have been open primaries where Dems and Independents were allowed to vote in the GOP race), Trump's voters are a minority (somewhere between ~ 35% to 45% depending on the state) of GOP primary voters.  It's a pretty diverse group, but includes everything from crossover blue collar Democrats to former Tea Partiers who are angry and disgusted over the feckless performance of Congressional Republicans after the 2010 and 2014 wave elections that brought the Senate and House back into GOP hands.  There's also a smattering of White Nationalists and other racist groups (Storm Front has endorsed Trump, for example). But a much simpler breakdown of Trump supporters puts them into two camps: those who are voting for Trump out of pure anger and as a protest and/or in hopes of "burning down" the GOP; and those who actually believe him and are buying his snake oil.  I can definitely understand and share much of the same sentiment as the first camp.  Those in the second group are just too stupid to live.  [/quote]
