Why I'm voting for Trump CNN talks to more than 150 people in 31 cities to explore what's driving t

[Olde Hornet]

Interesting article.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/27/politics/donald-trump-voters-2016-election/index.html

CNN)They are showing up in droves to see Donald Trump: Men and women, overwhelmingly white, frustrated with the country's first black president, fearful that they are being displaced by minorities and immigrants, and nostalgic for the way America used to be.

And Trump is thriving, tapping into the fears and anxieties that have erupted into the open in an extraordinary presidential campaign.

The voters pledging their allegiance to the Republican front-runner hail from all corners of the country. They work on farms, in nursing homes and run small businesses; they've voted for Mitt Romney and Barack Obama and participated in the tea party movement; they are high school students who will vote for the first time this November and retirees and veterans who came of age during World War II.

Ok so Trump rallies are basically toned down Klan rallies with a sprinkle of Uncle Tom's and Aunt Tina's of all races.

Reading through the article this stood out to me;
"A divisive President
There is a very palpable anger at President Obama. Many Trump supporters say he can't be trusted, he cares more about the welfare of black people than whites and he's inflamed racial divisions in the country. Others say they're convinced that he's Muslim."

What has President Obama done directly for Black Communities and how has he inflamed racial divisions? I get tired of these po white folks blaming Obama for their short comings they're the ones who started this racial divide and continue to stir it up.

As for the first video before the article, they are some dumb white boys. None of them gave a valid reason for wanting to vote for Trump other than he energizes them, not comparing Trump, but Hitler energized the German, the wrong Germans. Oh one did say he like his (Trump;s) politics, but again no specifics. (after that one, I chose not to watch the other ones I was already frustrated enough)

Research has shown, Trump supporters are usually poor whites with no College degree.

IMO, Trump running for president is a means of completely dividing the Republican Party. Trump is now fighting with FOX News.

Tiger pride is voting for Trump.

But what does that fight mean and who does it help or hurt?
Fox basically called Trump weak, and Trump is again verbally beating up on a woman, but now this one is a conservative and a pretty decent looking one. So will Trump's women supporters turn against him?

It helps Clinton and Democrats. The Republican Party messed up when they allowed Donald Trump to push hard on his Birthed Movement as a Republican. Now he has the undivided attention of the far right in the Republican Party.

White males are mad. They're really mad at you educated middle and upper middle class blacks. You've taken all their jobs with affirmative action. Now instead of the office being 100 white men, its 90 white men, 4 white women, one Hispanic, 3 black women, 1 Asian, and last but not least 1 brother.

Trump and Clinton are making it easy for Bernie Sanders. Though Sanders is now a democrat he was once an Independent.

I find it funny because President Obama catches it from everybody. You have dumb whites saying he is only concerned with blacks then you have folks like Tavis Smiley saying that he has made the situation of black folks worse.

I don't worry about any of it because when Bush was in office Black folks were saying his was satan. When a democrat is in office he catches hell from republicans and vice versa. In President Obama's case he catches hell from black folks that for choice of better words are stupid.

Watch what happens when we get a woman president and lord knows if she is black....the black feminist are going to go in on her, the white women, the white men, the black men with low self esteem, and if she is a lesbian....lord help us all.
