Did you approve of a man who mocks disabled? Or did you get behind his racism? Did you like the derogatory names he used for people from Mexico? Did you like his xenophobia? Or was it the fact that he cheated and lied for thirty years and filed bankruptcy six times? Did you applaud his defrauding of college students? Or did you just think a reality TV Star was the perfect choice to lead the country? Tell us. The glaring conscious abandonment of the ingenuousness of your inquiry is profoundly comedic. Someone give me some shades!! Mission accomplished? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder, how did you not see it? I will tell you why the people I know that voted for Trump did. 1) They despised Hillary and viewed her as every bit a crook as Trump. 2) They wanted to go with someone that was not a traditional politician to make a statement about what they thought of politicians. 3) This one is area specific, but the area my mother lives in Chicago many voted for Trump because they are tired of the Democratic Alderman's. The reason they are tired is because they continue to fight laws, and stricter penalties for offenders that have made even the Mag Mile of Chicago an unsafe place to visit. I know people that didn't even vote for Trump but will tell certain individuals they did for the fun of triggering them now. They are like me and think its funny all the things that will be blamed on Trump and similar incidents by others won't be treated on the same level. For example I have no trouble believing that Trump would do something to financially benefit himself. But, I have to laugh at anyone who feels the Russians influenced their personal vote via Facebook. That is on the voter. It is like the rhetoric stuff. Trump is responsible for so much stuff due to what he says, but if you blame rap music (despite being able to pull actual scientific articles and testimonies from ex Chicago gang remembers) you are told it has no impact. Sorry but the only time a POTUS has been more important than rappers in those neighborhoods is when Obama was in office. Or that silly article that discussed basically health concerns that aging males investigate (the article even stated the subjects were not representative of American males) and those indicated some uber insecure beta male voter for Trump. Maybe he will make it 2 more, maybe he wont. I am more concerned with the plans both parties have to replace him. I know that Kasich doesn't believe that he can do it in the Republican Party and might go Independent. Beto states that he won't be in the 2020 run due to family, we will see about that. I know for me personally that would be great if Kasich and Beto were both candidates in 2020. Personally I'm going to laugh and continue to laugh at the attempts to place every action by every citizin on Trump. Wonder if I could get out of a DUI from 6th... Sorry officer, Trump made me drive. And remember my last two major votes went Clinton and Beto, so I'm not in the cult as you guys like to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember my last two major votes went Clinton and Beto, so I'm not in the cult as you guys like to call it. I just fail to see how those reasons were more important than electing someone intelligent and capable of thoughtful decisions, someone who would read and study before making decisions. I’m amazed that people would want an outsider so bad that they failed to consider the magnitude of what this job required. It’s akin to having your yard boy do your open heart surgery. I’m not sure why you drew the parallel to rap music. That one didn’t make sense to me at all. Nor have I heard anything on people blaming Trump for citizens actions. Maybe you watch Fox?

DKW 86 7,359 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 If you voted for HRC, Johnson, or Stein in Alabama, you were essentially registering a protest vote. We all know it was going to Trump in the Electoral College in Alabama. Not voting for Trump REALLY didnt mean anything here in Alabama with 65% or so of the state blindly voting for Trump or "not Hillary" the outcome here was a foregone conclusion.

I have a very, very close friend who is a professional Republican. He even served in the Trump administration for about 19 months until he bailed. He admitted to me - in a very sober moment - that Hillary would have made a good president, at least compared to Trump. Anyway, if Hillary had been elected, there would undoubtedly been new investigations into her affairs, but nothing like what is going on - and will continue - with Trump. It's not even close.
