Granted I am not American and neither is anyone I know, but no one I know personally supports Trump or likes the idea of him being president, and most of the people I know belong to a minority group that he has made denigrating and hateful statements about publicly (whether it be women or gays or latinxs.)

I appreciate that - but it's a stretch to say those demographics don't support him because the people you personally know that fit into those demographics don't.

Going back to the opening post:
I can't wait for this election to be over regardless of who wins.
The answers to my opening post, and the continuing influx of anti and pro Trump threads tells me that whether you love him or hate him it's all about him and you have your media outlets and selves to thank for it. Hillary held real influence back in 2008 and if she had been elected over Obama I'm sure her record would not be as strongly criticised. The problem is she wants more of what Obama did and more of the same. We've had 8 years to discuss most of this and I think is why it's all about Trump.

@GGPViper - thanks for sharing. I didn't doubt anyone had positive things to say, I was just at an end trying to figure out where all the positivity went. You're one of the more balanced people of this subforum. I wasn't attacking Hillary on this occasion, and I respect your views. I sincerely want to see more constructive discussion about all candidates in the race. We had it in the past, and it seems it's non existent now.

@Luke Mike Pence is a traditional Republican and it was a wise pick for Trump. Trump's more liberal leaning towards social issues does conflict with Mr. Pence however and that's something they still have to resolve in some issues. They now share the pro life stance, but Trump can only bend so far on traditional GOP values before he alienates his independent and converted voters.


Is that you in that picture, Mr. The Spectrum? That's a very nice picture. Didn't you have the eye in the keyhole?

Well, it's nice to see the real you. That picture of you is very handsome. I like to be able to put a face with a name.

And yet Trump would play them so much more. Seems a bit self loathing since Trump's Pa is a dyed in the wool bigot, so much so even Woody Guthrie wrote a poem about how loathsome Old Man Trump was. If I was black I would be dead set against a Trump presidency. Same if I were any ethnicity other than WASP.


I know it's not what you meant, but I think this suggests that WASPs are intrinsically OK with seeing racism and bigotry aimed at others. Only racist bigot WASPs would countenance the vile sentiments coming from Trump. There are plenty of WASPs who find Trump's attitudes to be thoroughly deplorable.

Half my ancestors are white anglo protestants, the others are Catholics and I don't support a Trump presidency and my intention was not to imply all whites support Trump .
I can't help but notice, most those attending Trump's rallies look like what everyone says are white Anglo protestants even though religion is difficult to discern over the air waves or through a fibre optic cable, so this leads me to assume blacks and Hispanics are not his most ardent supporters. I don't blame them. They should not be fooled by him.


TRUMP on Track to Win More Black Votes Than Any GOP Candidate Since 1960. http://tiny.iavian.net/d54m

The opposite should be the case. Obama has done more damage to the black community than any president since Lyndon Johnson (whose comments about black people are not fit to print here). Hillary will continue his disastrous policies of generational poverty and dependence.

And why on earth would Hispanic immigrants vote for Hillary, who represents the very kind of government system they fled from: oligarchic-crony-socialist-corruption. I posted this good video on another thread, so I'll just give a link here instead of embedding it: "Immigrants! Don't Vote for What You Fled":
