This was a really interesting read. I'm not going to copy it in, b/c it's really long. But they have profiles of 6 different people who are voting for Trump, who they are, who they have voted for in the past, and why they are voting for Trump.
Here's one excerpt -
For a certain kind of voter, politics has never really been about policy. Character has always mattered more. Maybe it’s Vance’s steel-town upbringing, or the hardship of job loss after job loss. Either way, he seems to care less about finding a candidate who agrees with him on every issue than he does about finding a candidate who’s “earned it” — who has the “grit” to upend the status quo.
For Vance, Trump is that candidate.
“Boy, does he say some stupid stuff,” Vance admitted. “But Trump’s not as nutty as everybody thinks he is. He’s just playing the game. The guy has good common horse sense. Those buildings didn’t go up in New York City by themselves. I can’t even imagine what Trump had to deal with — how many documents, negotiations, politicians, protesters, contracts.”
Whatever their demographic profile, many Trump fans seem to have this, at least, in common with Vance. They’re people who feel that America isn’t treating them as well as it used to, and they have a hunch that it will take the right person — more, perhaps, than the right blend of policy proposals — to fix it.
“I mean, is Mexico gonna pay for the wall? No. That’s crazy,” Vance told me. “But at least Trump will try. And with a guy like that, who knows? As someone once said, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.’ It’s time for a change.”
There's an Iowa mother, that guy up there, a Latina lawyer, the working man, the grandma, and the apprentice.
The explanations to WHY they are voting for Trump may surprise you.
Straight forward, non PC talk scares people. They aren't use to it.
But it is exactly what we need.

Oh, go dancing in Cuba!

I'm going to try to get to Cuba this summer. A friend of mine has a hook-up for a house there. She takes fishing supplies and hand them out to the fishermen there. He picts and stories are amazing. The ONLY drawback is that I would not be able to talk to G while I was gone. That's all that's keeping me from committing...

Why wouldn't you be able to talk to G?
And why would you go to a country "After Obama's own heart?" , full of human rights abuses?

(your own words in the Cuba thread)
I would be going as a missionary. Taking supplies.
My friend says that even with International service, she still cannot make a phone call out of Cuba, so for me not to count on being able to get in touch with him...

I feel for the average Cuban. It is a beautiful, non commercialized island that I would love to see.
But I wouldn't go.
I have no desire to show any support for the dictatorship.

I'm not following. Most Cubans are Christian.
So Christians aren't supposed to take supplies to other Christians?

44% of Cubans identify as non-religious. That's a lot of souls to save.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
90% of Quebecers don't identify as Christian. (Well, they say they were baptized Catholic, but they don't believe in God and don't go to church.) Maybe your time would be better spent there.
How's your Spanish, by the way? They don't speak English in Cuba.
Sorry, but every group has nuts - that's not Trumps fault. You've got your liberal rioters that get violent if Trump dares to think of coming to their city.
And MAYBE, that woman at the beginning of the ad should not have attacked Trump's wife. Actions have consequences, including drawing out the nuts.

Because Canadians live under such an oppressive regime and need help and supplies?

Who? The rioters in Illinois were NOT his supporters.
And what about Ferguson and the other riots and violence whenever people want to try to make things about race? If Trump scares you, I'm shocked you are an Obama supporter.

Right? The Cubans are welcoming. My friend (my Canadian friend) goes several times a year. Although she is not a Christian, she does take supplies and has asked me to go with her.
I'm pretty fluent in Spanish. I will have no trouble communicating.

She was ONE member of the group that did it.
Read further:
As Trump routinely tweets attacks at his rivals that are then seen by his 6 million Twitter followers, others take it further: Ganging up, harassing and threatening his critics online and in person for weeks and months on end. They adopt Trump-like insults — his critics are often “losers” — and routinely publish and circulate private information, just as Trump did last summer when he read rival candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham’s cell phone number aloud on live television.
There’s a similar pattern at rallies: After Trump blasted protesters at his events and suggested they should be “roughed up,” violence began erupting on site with supporters physically clashing with demonstrators. Trump has blamed the protesters and refused to condemn the violence. He’s also offered a subtle stamp of approval by announcing he was looking into paying the legal fees for a supporter who was shown in a video punching a protester as he was being escorted out of a rally.

His critics are often losers.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.
I would just like to say a super PAC is the one that released the picture of Trumps wife. They admit it and take credit for it.

Just sayin, anytime anyone mentions money, (even if it's about someone else), you get your panties all in a wad. You zoom in on that more than just about anything.

That was known--but Cruz didn't disavow it and it was meant to benefit him at the expense of Trump. Now that Trump has retaliated, that crybaby Cruz is whining that his wife is a target, when he had no problem with trumps wife being a target.

flan your disgust fairly drips off you when ever money is mentioned. You went off on husker about money because he went to Las Vegas. You can't be that poor with all those trips to Hawaii.

The super PAC should leaves wives and children out of things. Period.

I have pointed out those who flaunt their $$$. That's tacky.

What you call "flaunting" is what others call normal conversation. Because someone can afford something and you can't does not constitute "flaunting".
Yeah, i just bought a new car. Is it flaunting to tell someone? Yeah, i bought a Honda. But, if someone buys a Jaguar and says that are they flaunting if that is what they can afford?
Sending out a tweet of Trump's scantily clad wife isn't exactly bad PR, lol. Lots of men look at him with envy for getting a Hot wife.
Well, quite honestly, this is a presidential race. His wife posed nude in a magazine. There is no way in the world he could be stupid enough to think that this wasn't going to come up at some point.

Well, my point is that doesn't hurt Trump at all. It helps him.
