The WP has a vendetta against Trump. Bezos is behind it.
And sexist too! I’m in the same camp I guess.
I don’t recall the “racism motivated Black voters to support Obama” articles from 2009
It must be religious or political self hate for me. I am Falwell religious right and Buckley conservative. But I gladly voted for the multiple divorced playboy NYC democrat.
Which side is racist?
All decent Americans (the Trump voters) recognize that there is no more racist position than the soft bigotry of the democrat identity politics platform. Hillary’s position, that blacks are too frail to make it without special protection, is both false and destructive.
The idea that blacks are a monolithic group that got less than they deserve, rather than individuals whose success in life is determined by the thought and sustained effort that they put into that success, is profoundly racist.
The idea that blacks cannot succeed by trying as hard as others who succeed is profoundly racist.
The idea that blacks today are so delicate and disabled by the slavery their great-great-great-great-grandparents experienced, that they do not have the strength of character to overcome experiences they never even had, is profoundly racist.
The idea that blacks cannot have the success that our Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Irish, and Jewish neighbors had is profoundly racist.
By arbitrarily defining the positions resulting from a belief in individual merit, individual achievement, and individual responsibility to be racist, and defining positions that prejudge the potential of blacks based on their skin color to be anti-racist, The researcher has reversed the definitions and arrived at a conclusion that is the exact opposite of the truth.
I can see it - Trump voters are sick and tired of having racists/racial agitators and the sort in places of supreme power.....ergo, racism did motivate a lot of them......
The voters rejected Obama.
Ergo they must be RAAAAACISTS.
Their logic goes something like that.
This is a “widely respected” scientific poll. It is publicly funded. It is also one of the reasons the charge “racist” is losing its bite. You funded it since 1948. How many other useless projects have been funded by the American taxpayer?
I though it was misogyny,The Russians, Comey of the FBI, 0bama, or deplorable ones. It really could not have been because Hillary is a corrupt egotistical evil old crone.

First it was Riots, then Recounts, then Russians, now Racism.
What’s next: Revolution?
I truly despise liberals and the perverted ideology that drives them.

Thank you for writing to me to share your views about Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue.
Last year, President Obama fulfilled his constitutional duty by nominating Judge Merrick Garland to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February 2016. As I have said consistently since then, it is unacceptable that my Senate colleagues refused to do their constitutional duty by providing advice and consent. By confirming Judge Gorsuch, and effectively stealing a Supreme Court seat, the Senate established a dangerous precedent, one that I am deeply concerned about.
Judge Gorsuch has a history of being a far-right conservative activist. His consistent rulings in favor of corporations over their workers are concerning. As many of my colleagues said during the confirmation process, if a judge cannot garner 60 votes, the nominee needs to be changed, not the rules. Opting for the “nuclear option” to change the rules requiring a simple majority to end debate on a Supreme Court nomination underscores how extreme his nomination is.
Furthermore, the Trump Administration is currently under investigation by the FBI for its relationship with Russia. The steady flow of revelations about the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian officials, which have repeatedly contradicted previous denials, only further underscores the need for an independent investigation. We should not confirm someone for a lifetime appointment without first completing this investigation.
It was for these reasons that I took to the Senate floor on April 4, 2017, for over 15 hours to protest this unprecedented theft of a Supreme Court seat. I spoke about the historic injustice of refusing to take any action on Judge Garland, Judge Gorsuch’s record of twisting the law to benefit corporations and harm workers, and the cloud that hangs over this administration due to its relationship with Russia.
As you may know, on April 6, 2017, the Senate invoked the “nuclear option,” changing the rules to approve the nomination of Judge Gorsuch and on April 10, 2017, he was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice.
I have heard from thousands of Oregonians expressing a wide range of views on Judge Gorsuch and the nomination process. I appreciate knowing all of these perspectives, and please know that I will keep fighting to ensure our democracy works for “We the People,” not “We the Powerful.”
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me on this issue. I hope you will continue to write me about issues that are most important to you.
All my best, Jeffrey A. Merkley United States Senator
It is the 1,200 who bothered to answer the phone, probably because they were agoraphobic shut-ins or just didn't have caller ID.
For the life of me I can’t imagine ANYONE willing to spend 80 minutes on a survey as “representative”.
Great example of them being caught up in their own echo-chamber vortex...keep going in a circle saying the same old tired, lame, stupid things...wont’ change anything but they’ll feel better for a short time :) ...it’s like crack, just one more hit should do it...
my .02 on this is that Trumps’ WH is fine with the entire media and communist\terrorist party staying in this vortex while they go about their business of “fundamentally transforming America”...
You may think labeling the dems as terrorists is over the top but they’re quickly approaching a posture\attitude of refusing to be governed by anything that’s not what they deem as acceptable and choose...

I am a Trump voter.
Income inequality highly motivates me. We need more income inequality.
Get an education in a useful area, get a job don’t be a thug. Your income will be high.
Show disdain for education, get a degree in xxxxx studies, act like a thug. Your income will gee severely limited.
This is as it should be.
And who wants to spend eighty minutes filling out forms?
The OP said that the survey took 80 minutes, so apparently 1,200 people.
