Why Donald Trump Supporters Are Donald Trump Supporters

Has there been a candidate more polarizing in the 2016 election than Donald Trump?

Superfans think he’s a genius—a plutocrat who will negotiate America into economic success and mediate between a partisan Congress. Detractors think Trump is a racist buffoon who doesn’t have anything good to say, and yet won’t keep his mouth shut. For Republicans, Trump is a refreshing choice for voters who are sick of a GOP that can’t hold together a united front.

Heading into the third Republican presidential debate, Trump—for the first time in months—is not in the top spot in the polls. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson took a national lead in a New York Times/CBS news poll published yesterday. Twenty-six percent of Republican primary voters are backing Carson, versus 22 percent for Trump. It’s a narrow lead, but one that Trump promptly questioned. After all, the billionaire has remarked, “If I fell behind badly [in the polls], I would certainly get out. I’m in this for the long haul.”

As far as I know the only way is to recognize and replace the characters (apostrophe, comma, quotes, dash, and some others) in an article with ASCI characters (those on your keyboard). It also may have something to do with the browser used; IE used to be a huge culprit when using it as the source for pasting text.

It seems many are still in search of the kinder gentler wishy washy candidates that lose elections to the criminal element. What ever you may think or feel about trump he is roasting the do nothing in bed with the rats GOP drek we voted for, the PC crowd, the liberal scum we call the media and the supporters of socialism and thier sucklings. Religious denomination voters almost always look at the small pictures instead of the larger ones, hence the rats win and we lose.....again!

Re-write:
Has there been a candidate more polarizing in the 2016 election than Hillary?

Superfans refuse to accept the fact that she is a kleptocrat who will do anything for a buck including selling out America to its enemies. Detractors think Hillary is a power hungry phony and congenital liar whose positions on issues change daily.

“You sure know how to pick them Commies. Lilledeshan Bose is a Mao Tse-Tung fan. https://twitter.com/lillitot";

That quote from Mao doesnt even make sense.

This is the Trump Train:

He has told us about illegal immigration, and how he would handle it;

He has shown that if we had good immigration laws, we wouldn’t’t have the people that blew up the World Trade Center Buildings, the Pentagon...and has proved what needs to be done to enact the laws;

He has told us about the H1 B bill and how it is taking our jobs away and hiring ‘guest’ people coming here;

He has told us about how to get jobs back into America, and what he would do to do it;

He has a tax plan, and how it works;

He has a gun plan, and how he would work it;

He has told us obumacare is bad for the country, and what he would do about it;

He has told us about the Social Security going broke, and what he is going to do about it;

He has told us about Medicare, and how he would support it;

He has told us that the immigrants are being treated better than our vets, and what he would do to change it;

He has told us why he is financing his own campaign and why he is doing that;

He has told us that he doesn’t want a salary, he would donate it to charity;

He has told us that he wants Education back in the States, not in the federal government; and how bad common core is and why;

He has told us why he wants to shut down the EPA, and the reasons why;

He has told us why P.C. is so bad, and how it is taking away our expression of the freedoms we have;

So this is why my support goes to Trump, he makes deals, he runs multi billion dollar companies, and owns them, with someone as brilliant as this, I want THIS someone to put America on its feet again....

To put it simply, Trump is running as an American not a party member. He has put America first in his campaign. That is scaring a lot of people.

That might be, but the content of the article as regards facts of Trump's support are good.

I support much of what The Donald says, and I support him being in the race. As for being President, that’s another matter. He’s performed a valuable service to his country. More than anything he’s shown that there is another way to run a country.

You’re lying. He was asked about why he supported it years back in August. He didn’t say that in August, he was explaining in August why he said it back in 2002 and 2004. Dishonesty never, ever works.

Honesty is telling the truth to others.

Integrity is telling the truth to yourself.

I always like to research the author: Everyone knows me as Nancy. Also: Publications Editor at UCR, writer for KCET’s Artbound, former OC Weekly music editor, mommy, hardcore daydreamer. Lost Angeles lilledeshan.com

I also like to "research those who post and back these stories - most don't show on the FR donor lists and it can be assumed that if they don't donate to FR, they also don't donate to the candidate "of their choice"....

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR
