My dad is always just like "I don't understand how anyone buys Trump's complete bullshit" and I don't have an answer for him.

Well besides the racism. His promise to renegotiate trade so we will have all the nice factory jobs like 50 years ago can definitely get blue color types to vote.

I work with mostly Trump supporters in my office here in FL (they are primarily older white women) and I wish I understood how they can ignore his misogynistic comments and the fact that he's literally a con-man.

Trump voters are simply uninformed. They are "voting from the gut". You know why the Trump bus video wasn't a big deal to them? They didn't watch it.
Republican voters are "gut voters" they vote based on feelings and narrative. They're TOLD something and they believe it because they feel like that's true. They're TOLD the media is in Hillary's pocket and it has to be true, otherwise they wouldn't have heard it right?

Read that and you'll see the common thread: I FEEL like this is true, therefore it is.
From the article:

quote:

I heard that he said something about groping women, and I’m thinking, Okay, No. 1, I think that’d be great. I like getting groped! I’m heterosexual. I’m a woman, and when a guy gropes me, I get groping on them! I grope them back. Groping is a healthy thing to do. When you’re heterosexual, you grope, okay? It’s a good thing.

More than likely Trump is going to lose. Trump could get Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Florida and still come up short. He has to flip a blue state.

Donald Trump is going to lose, but if you think he might win, and you don't want him to, then you should go to your closest Clinton campaign office and do something instead of fretting on the internet.

Michigan is 100% going blue good god you are nuts.

I don't think I'm nuts. I think it's a mistake of hubris to assume just because something's gone your way consistently in the past, it'll definitely continue to go your way in the future.

I'm old enough to remember between '04 and '08 when Republicans said, "New Mexico is in the South, it's 100% going red, are you nuts?" And look at it now. Things change.

And besides -- Ohio, Michigan... Let's be frank. These states aren't going to stay blue forever. Ohio's all but gone for Democrats this cycle, and perhaps every future cycle if it continues to trend redder. And who knows how much longer Michigan will stay in the Democratic column? Unions are all but dead. Democrats lost the blue collar white vote in the 1990s, and Trump's ringing all their bells. Michigan has a Republican governor, and a Republican house and senate. You may disagree, and you're entitled to, but I don't think it's so totally unthinkable that it flips. It probably won't, but there's a real possibility it will.

The dread :abuela: will be our next God-Queen.

If you want to be nervous and bite your nails about something, be worried about the Senate. The next 2-4 years will be a shitshow because of a GOP House, but things would be MUCH better if the Dems control the Senate so that we can get nominees confirmed and avoid the spectacle of Hillary veto'ing dozens of poo poo bills.

Trump wins, Russia convinces him to have the US launch simultaneous with them attack on Canada, US annexes it, Putin backstabs Trump dramatically, reigns over most of the northern hemisphere from a castle over the Bering Strait.

This is what Putin is currently masturbating about.
