No, just former Democrats who work for a living tired of getting sh** on.

Dana, Dana, Dana

Get psychiatric help ASAP for your hate-filled mind

You are one sick SOB. Stemming from your gender-confused self, parents giving you a girl’s name?

Just keep telling yourself that lie, as you close your eyes and knock your sparkly red shoes together.

I agree. No self-respecting Democrat would vote for Trump - merely former Democrats who valued sanity over party.

I live in VA, and have for nearly 40 years, and we don’t register a party. I first registered as a voter in NJ and did so as a democrat in 1976. I never changed that party affiliation so technically speaking, I’m a democrat who voted for President Trump.

This argument is so stupid it’s funny. It’s false on it’s face. How in the world could a Republican or Independent possibly win in MI, WI and PA without democrat supporters?

I figured out a few years back how that can happen, and why campaigns sometimes work the way they do.

There are basically three types of voters:
1. Those who always vote for the democrat.
2. Those that always vote for the republican.
3. Those who have no clue what they are doing and could end up voting for either.

The goal of campaigns is to get number three to vote for your guy and those in number’s one or two that vote for your oppoinent to not bother to vote at all.

i.e. I think a lot of voters that normally always vote democrat simply didn’t vote at all - or voted for Bernie - because Hillary was such an incredibly, ridiculously, insanely bad choice.

The election was a little like the 1992 election. When the 1992 election process was getting started, Bush Sr. was so popular it looked like he’d win easily, so not many serious candidates threw their hat in the ring, opting to run in the next cycle where they would be much more likely to win the election. Enter an unknown governor from Arkansas. They were happy to throw him to the lions.

But He was the choice, and events caused Bush Sr’s numbers to tank - and Ross Perot entered. So Clinton got in from a trick of fate.

I think in a very real way, this is the type of thing that gave us Trump. Well, that and the D’s right now have no real viable candidate. Not one. And the hatred of politics in general is, I think, how Trump got his party’s nomination. He’s not a politician.

Well fine, Democrats should keep on being Democrats, that assures them of a certain degree of intellectual purity.

It also insures that the “Obama-Trump” voters do NOT come back to the Democrats, and in fact, many of them were never Democrats to begin with, but more of an independent nature, not affiliated with any party. Support of Obama during the years 2008 through probably 2013 or so was NOT translated into support of the Democrat party as a whole, and after 2013, even the support of Obama began to fail precipitously. The era of Bush-43 was fast fading in the consciousness of the voters, and Obama was seen to be the farce and charlatan he always was, a clown put up to entertain and assuage the guilt feelings many non-blacks had about earlier stereotypes of the Americans of African descent. He had become a caricature and a stereotype of himself, rife with all forms of corruption and practiced deceit.

"There's no such thing as a Trump Democrat"

Noting that “Democrat” and “Republican” are obsolete terms, the last Democrats and Republicans becoming extinct several generations ago, there is also no such thing as a Trump uniparty RINO.
