Good article. I hear libs spewing the hate spoken about regarding us being racists, uneducated, etc. but I also know minorities that are secretly voting for Trump. Not many, but they are there. I also know highly educated people that are voting for Trump. My belief is that the talk about all of us being uneducated is a ploy to embarrass people into not voting for Trump. They are trying to mess with our heads. Liberals also have a huge superiority complex.

IMO, all this is doing is creating a lot of closet Trump supporters, at least I hope that is what is going on.

Good post, but contains liberal b.s. Bush did not cause economic collapse, merely did not mitigate it well; democrats supported foreign wars.

Excuse me but it was bill clinton who set the country up for the huge fallout that happened with the housing crisis.

Dumb democrats who do not know the end results of their dumb decisions.

Hillary is not going to build the wall. She is going to bury any opposition of the Rat Progressive dream once and for all in a human wave of immigration and legalization of the illegals already here.

Yes, arrogance and ignorance are a toxic mix.

We’re not rube hayseeds out here voting For Trump. The author is right when he says this is an FU vote to the status quo a la the establishment of both parties. He also says it is a major gamble on our part voting for Trump. Really? Hillary with promised IOUs of national security and trade secrets to some bad people if she’s able to cheat her way to the White House is rolling snake eyes and sure doom for the nation.

... why she’s been swept up in Donald Trump’s particular brand of right-wing populism ...

.. as opposed to left-wing populism, like 'free' Obamaphones.

This is what jumped out the most -

She told me, “It doesn’t matter what she says. It matters what she’s done.”

I think this is key and Trump did hammer on that in the first debate. What has she done for the last 30 years? And she is still spouting the same old Marxist rhetoric.

Should have been titled “I listened to a former Obama supporter”

“This is not a person who is stupid or racist. She knows Bush caused the economy collapse with his irresponsible tax policies and wars.”

A Dem talking point which is ipso facto incorrect.

Congress sets tax and spending policy not the president. The Dems took Congress in Jan 2007. It was their mortgage lending policies which caused the housing crisis. It was their 2007 budget and polices that brought the economy down.

Bush did not cause economic collapse

I never really supported either Bush but felt there was no choice but the lesser of two evils. Nonetheless, after the shock of 9/11 the economy rebounded and was actually humming along quite nicely until Pelosi took over congress.

Never understood why W never pointed that out and left the field wide open for the Dems and MSM to perpetuate the fiction.

Lots of liberal BS, the writer may as well have said something like, the lady has gone off the deep end but I understand what drove her crazy, now she is going to vote for that crazy Donald Trump but I can’t find any way to prove to her that she is making a big mistake.

"It isn’t xenophobia or racism, it’s a vote against the status quo and the way they’ve strip mined and destroyed this country. It’s a FU vote and a major gamble, but it’s not as irrational or hateful as you might think."

1st of all, one correction, it wasn't the Bush/Bank collapse. Notice, no mention of Fanny & Freddie, The CRDA, Raines, Gorelick, and the whole fakata carnival that was Fannie and Freddie and Barney Frank covering for them amongst others like Maxine Waters, but let that go....

It hit me working on a campaign in 2010, and my question was why isn't the Tea Party focusing it's ire at K-Street, the source of all this madness IMHO. Now the FU noted is pointed at K-Street and all of DC.

I wasn't crazy after all, or this writer found my old post...

The libtards don’t know about CRAP. To them everything was Bush’s fault. Of course Bush didn’t invent CRAP but he did endorse it.

On my drive in, I listened to NPR. They were doing an “interview a voter before and after the debate” schtick. The guy they interviewed (Ohio voter) was union blue collar. He’s always voted democrat, his parents and grandparents voted democrat. The union always told them to vote democrat. He voted for Obama twice.

He’s voting for Trump this time.

This is something I noticed in 2015, when I was a nevertrumper: That Trumps message will ring true with a LOT of democrats, and especially Bernie supporters. It’s why I took issue with Michael Medved at the time. His take was we didn’t want trump because he could not win. My take was that he would get a LOT more democrat and independent votes because he was hitting people at an emotional level and he was sort of an enemy to the R party. That actually gives the disgruntled democrats “permission” to vote for him.
