Blue collar, not educated, rural voters for the most part.

HOWEVER, in all honestly, he is getting more than that but his voters tend to be blue collar AND WHITE by the way...a fact not lost on the left in preparing for the general election

Actually, I think Trump will get 10-15% and maybe as much at 20% of the black vote. All he has to do is talk honestly to them about how the Democratic party plays them for suckers each year while keeping them down on the plantation.

Actually, you don't get votes that way.

You need to offer solutions

The facts don't back up your "hypothesis". According to a recent paper from Zoltan L. Hajnal and Jeremy D. Horowitz—both political scientists at the University of California–San Diego—there’s clear evidence that when the nation is governed by Democrats, black well-being “improves dramatically” across multiple dimensions.

Specifically, looking at data from 1948 to 2010, Hajnal and Horowitz found that “African Americans tend to experience substantial gains under Democratic presidents whereas they tend to incur significant losses or remain stagnant under Republicans.” That is the reason blacks tend to vote Democratic, because they are voting in their own self interest.

I'm not convinced he is attracting Democrats as voters. According to the latest polls, in a hypothetical general election matchup, Michigan voters prefer both Clinton and Sanders over either Trump or Cruz. Clinton polled better than Trump, 53 percent to 36 percent, in a general election matchup, Sanders topped Trump by a 56-34 margin. Trump may appeal to Independents, but at this point anyways, it doesn't appear to be enough for Trump to win.

Republicans deserve what they got. Had seven years to find a candidate and failed to do so because of lack of consensus building among their constituency.

You may have hit the nail on the head!
"...offer soultions..."
That is exactly what Obama did...he offered in return for electing him.

However they soon found out and demonstrated over his 7 year reign they found out all he did/does is offer.....very little delivery of anything that does not fit his agenda.

So anybody "offering" to do better than Obama will get the vote of the blacks and other dems who have come up empty handed or worse off.

Until proven otherwise Trump is offering to do more than BS his way into office......which is the crony, business as usual politician operating mode....Obama as golden example.

What do you mean? You forgot to include all the sentences that preceded that last thought.

Sad for our country
 

I am sad for our country when I see so many Americans supporting Donald Trump. This is a demagogue who reminds many of Adolf Hitler, commanding his jackbooted troops to beat up innocent protestors.

You Republicans might want to look at the national polls that show either Hillary or Bernie could (and will) easily beat any Republican, including Trump. All you Republicans who are allied with the party of big business might want to come to your senses.

Sounds kind of elitist when you seem to demean honest working class people to being ignorant. Liberals are always looking down upon the working class people, thinking they are too ignorant to make their own way without the help of the gov handout. I've known many so-called "blue collar" workers that had the income equivalent to those with PHD's. As a matter of fact, I know one person that made exactly the same income as a PHD in the same organization. Don't equivalate a person's job status to their intelligence.

If you look at Trump's turnout for his rallies, you will also notice that he gets a lot of minority attendance. It is very easy to suggest that Trumps main source of supporters are ignorant white people, but the truth doesn't support that statement in it's entirety.

I have no problem with big business. Apparently, Hillary doesn't either. That's where she has made her millions. Where do you suppose all the jobs come from? Never been hired by a poor person.

If you think that Hillary is a shoo in for the general election, you may be surprised. Why is she campaigning against Trump NOW, if she is not worried about him? I did not vote for Trump, but I have no doubt whatsoever that he will beat her in the general. That is, IF she is not arrested by then.

You show your ignorance when you make statements that suggest that Trump "commanded" his supporters to hurt someone. To compare him with Hitler is ludicrous and just showing of your ignorance. I didn't vote for him, but I would support him in a heartbeat over Hillary the criminal or Bernie the anti-American socialist.

Do you mean to infer the same polls that had Clinton ahead in Michigan by double digits?

The same Michigan polls that predicted her a sure winner; but somehow Bernie won!

Do you mean those kind of polls?

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

:thumbup:

I can't believe that people take polls seriously. A "poll" is a license to say anything you want. "We polled some people and this is what they said"...yeah right...I believe you!

:agree:

Well, a thing like Obumbler just got elected twice, so....anything is possible.

And some consider a thing like Hillary...

The reason Trump has so many supporters is very simple. He is not a Life long political crook. People are tired of SOS . Too bad there was no one better to step in. Sadly in our country only the wealthy set in the top political positions. Americans complain about the wealthy controlling the country but look who the vote for.

His political career began last June 16th.

You could say Trump is wealthy.

Dear Guests:

With the exception of a few the news media today doesn't report news it creates it and sensationalizes it for ratings and profits. And because news is a 24/7 effort a lot of it is just noise

So I really don't care what a poll says about a candidate or CNN or FOX news
because all the noise and hype they kick up only confuses people.

The topic here is why people like Trump and any of the aforementioned opinion will not sway my thinking. I have watch what Trump has said what he does and what he said and did in the past. That is what forms my opinion and an opinion I privately hold open until a decision must be made this coming November .

Personal Best Regards:

Well, the writing on the wall suggests that the GOP candidate WILL be Trump. Therefore, he will get my vote regardless of whether the opposition is Hillary or Bernie. On a scale of pros and cons, Trump will win against Hillary and Bernie.

There is a theory that may explain why people like Trump. Trump supporters tend to answer these four questions the same way. It doesn't matter their education, race or income. Just keep the answers in your head.

Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: independence or respect for elders?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: obedience or self-reliance?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: to be considerate or to be well-behaved?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: curiosity or good manners?

I wonder if they make those Hillary " Chairman Mao " costumes she wears in a " prison stripe " edition ?

The current trend in prison garb is orange, not stripe. And Hillary already has the prerequisite orange attire.

Orange is the New Black

It just shows the mentality of the repubs, get behind a crazy that has no answers but to sprew hate. He has alienated the Afro-Americans, Latinos, Muslims, woman and on and on. Thank you for handing the Democrats a victory.

You are a trump supporter, I hope you don't consider yourself a Christian, you know where bad Christians go , don't you? Hate is against your religion.

I know where ALL Christians go. I also know where good atheists go. I am sure that he/she appreciates your concern, but it's probably a good idea for you to consider your final destination.

And you believe Bernie and Hillary's lies? God bless you......:1rotfl:

All have been proven to not make the best decisions...just saying.
