Why people who voted for Obama twice are suddenly in love with Donald Trump

He voted twice for President Barack Obama. He watches as Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, berates the president on a near-daily basis.

And yet, he's considering voting for Donald Trump.

"He has a history of getting the job done. We need someone as president who can get the job done, and I feel that he’s not afraid to take on the challenges," he said.

Another panelist who said she had voted for Obama twice said she was impressed with Trump's bravado from the start. She made note of him fighting back when numerous businesses and corporations cut ties with him amid backlash over controversial remarks on immigration.

"He’s not afraid. He doesn’t show fear. He doesn’t show that it’s going to look bad. I mean, even when Macy’s and … NBC fired him, it didn’t tarnish his strength. It didn’t make him feel like, ’Oh, I got canned or I got fired,’ or whatever," the panelist said.

Do you honestly think Obama supporters have turned against him?

IMO, they never will. They can’t. They can’t come to terms with what they voted in. They’re stuck supporting him because they’d go nutz if they saw him for who he really is.

His university and diversity based support is rock solid IMO.

Look at his actions to back the rioters and run interference for Trayvon. These people adore him.

The narrative that Obama voters are natural Trump supporters is so ridiculous.

So is the one that true conservatives like him... if you like Trump, you're part of the problem, not the solution. That goes for Cruz supporters as well...

The meme is evolving. Now they are trying to divide and conquer by lumping Trump supporters in with the glassy-eyed free stuff crowd that largely put barry in.

Some of the ones who voted for him just because they felt only racists didn’t know that they screw up.

I do not think Malibu is fertile ground for finding Reagan Democrats.

Missouri to Massachusetts? There are millions of them.

Strange pictures. The first makes his face and hair look like they are covered in glitter, the second makes his face look orange.

I’d hire Trump to do any job before I hired Obama. But this shows, as many interviews have, that people are supporting Trump based on emotion and his personality, not based on a concrete idea of what policies they want him to pass.

A lot of the people who voted for Obama the first time were highly educated, intelligent people who bought into change and hope and rainbows and unicorns.

I know, I worked with them. Unfortunately no street smarts or BS detector.

LOL. I appreciate your thoughts. I know you mean well, and I can understand your position.

You are NEVER going to get Ted Cruz nominated. It’s that simple.

If you wish to pull for Bush or some other GOPe equivelant, then push Ted Cruz all you like.

WE HAVE NOT NOMINATED A CONSERVATIVE SINCE 1984.

None the less you folks think this year will be different.

If we couldn’t shut down McCain, what makes you think we can get Cruz nominated against people not nearly as bad as McCain?

I appreciate your point of view, because in past years I’ve argued it.

We either go for Trump and hope he does most of what he says, or we simply surrender.

I’m not surrendering.

Gulp ... The RATs have got to be going crazy now ...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Even more so the RINOs. They are all going nuts and both parties will gang up on Trump. I have s feeling Trump will need the publics' support before this is over. It may come to a peoples’ uprising to make them stand down and allow a fair election.

Because people who voted for Obama twice are Democrats.

I agree. Some of the White trying to be a part of history could fit in that group.

I remain unconvinced they’ll turn out for Trump or Cruz though.

Those folks standing outside the mansion on the first election night, those folks faces are frozen in time. So are their addled minds IMO.

Maybe that is a GOOD thing! If he gets elected, the Pubes and Demons will be arguing with each other to avoid anything he proposes and then try to create their own agendas (which he isn't going to allow) - and NOTHING WILL GET DONE!

For the last 22 years, just about EVERYTHING that has passed out of Congress and signed into law has been ANTI-AMERICAN! Maybe a few years of NOTHING will show Americans that they don't need D.C. to create anymore damn "solutions!" I mean, my butt could afford a break from the constant screwing we been getting from D.C. - by BOTH parties!!

Mankind yearns for leaders who exuded power. Trump does unlike any recent politician. Humans follow alpha males.

You are basically saying “We can’t nominate a Conservative so we’ll have to settle for something less, a gamble on a RINO named Trump, the worst RINO running.”

I’m not surrendering, either, and I support the best Conservative running this time around, Cruz.

Your hatred of Bush clouds your thinking. He won’t even make it past the Southern primary.
