Why so many voters are drawn to Donald Trump
Los Angeles Times ^ | March 26, 2016 | Steve Lopez

The way the presidential campaign is shaping up, Ventura musician Jon Gindick may do something he's never done before.

"I've never voted for a Republican," the registered Democrat told me.

"I like Trump."

A waiter told me he thought Trump's trade restrictions would create more jobs at higher wages. A couple wearing matching red, white and blue shirts told me their healthcare costs had tripled under Obamacare — a program Trump says he'll shred.

To Gindick, Trump's remarks about criminals coming across the border were refreshingly honest, and not at all a condemnation of all immigrants or Latinos in general.

He thinks Trump's critics misrepresent him, that they're unfair in calling him a racist.

"I saw it as a huge lie being repeated by the GOP establishment and Democrats," he said.

I do think that Trump can beat Hillary, be president and accomplish what he is promising.

As long as liberals keep acting like the disgusting fascists of false truth that they are, Trump will win.

It’s real simple.

The citizens are sick of the invasion of their nation.

Trump stepped up and said he would stop it.

We really do want to keep the rule of law and our country.

It appears as though both political parties and the Ministry of Propaganda are trying to make sure we can’t.

Why voters are drawn to D. Trump: He hit back on political correctness that was robbing of us of freedom of speech, notably on college campuses and the media.
He showed he was not afraid and refused to back down when ESPN, Macy's, Amazon and others were putting pressure on him.
He was first to bring up the immigration/illegal alien problem. Without him, there would not be a discussion of this topic. He also pointed out the danger of admitting Syrians, something other politicians were afraid to mention until he did.
He has created jobs.
He speaks like a normal person, not stilted and fake like Hillary.

There are many other reasons.

It’s simple. Government is bullying Americans at all levels. Trump is like the big kid on the playground who is kicking the bullies asses.

He is the unconventional candidate, he speaks the truth, he speaks in our language, he is angry like we are, our leaders have failed us miserably, they are corrupt as the party we fight against, we are being sold, hyjacked, and literally murdered by invaders who are being welcomed and supported by our tax dollars our enemies within give out like candy, we are tired sick and tired is this a good reason?

reason for most here is that we are s fed up of sleazy elected officials, who say one thing and then do another. We are fed up of lies.
We arte fed up of them not doing what is good fore the country.
We are fed up of them looking down at us and thinking we are too dumb to know anything.
We are fed up of elitist people who go to ivy league schools thinking they are better than us and talking down to us.
We are fed up of them full stop.

alright, so let’s say polls are slanted to the left. but all of them? and by so many points?

I know, I know, ignore the polls.

but none of us did when it showed trump or cruz up or down.

i’d like to see one or two within a few points.

but I think he’ll slam her during the debates.

My father in law is 89. He has voted D all of his life. He is a Trump fanatic. The Dems have no idea what they are in for in November.
