I was quite surprised to see that the Trumpf Wing of the Republican Party hates Fox News and loves single payer, universal healthcare.
But then I was told by a Trumpf supporter that the only reason he supported UHC was that Trumpf's version would be whites only.

Trump Has Successful Supporters––“I’m a college graduate, I have a Family,... and I’m a homeowner. What I think you may find interesting is that I have a circle of friends, both men and women, who have similar concerns and backgrounds. We are all employed with excellent careers and we all are supporting Trump for President.”

----------------
The condensed version that I posted above, just about tells it all.

Trump is shining a light in dark corners and he isn't afraid to address the elephant sitting in the room.

We've had years of politicians on both sides of the aisle who have steadfastly refused to secure our borders and take illegal immigration and all the problems it causes (ID theft, crime, destruction of neighborhoods and schools, to name a few) seriously. Rather, we have come to a point where illegals are treated better than American citizens. They've allowed hyper immigration to continue unabated with no thought as to what the economy is like and if American citizens and legal immigrants are finding work. They've allowed the H1-B visa program to become riddled with corruption to the point where it's now being used to deliberately displace Americans in the workforce. PC BS has run amok.

One thing our country does not need is more of the same old, same old. We don't need politicians who talk out of both sides of their mouths, make promises that they have no intention of keeping and are beholden to their mega-rich donors, when they should be beholden to the voters who put them in office.

I thought everyone knew that the President has a "Cabinet". We learned about this in high school in American Government as it was required for graduation, Cassopolis High School, Class of 1972! I would have sworn that everyone knew and if I am an uneducated Trump supporters............ https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/cabinet

Trump's success has more to do with him not having any political record.

Unlike the other candidates,Donald Trump hasn't made any political decisions that can be scrutinized. Had Trump been the mayor of NYC for example I predict that things would be different for him because then he'd have a record of decisions made as a politician that others can scrutinize. This lack of a political track record is one reason I view it as a gamble electing him president. You don't know what you're getting with him.

Well, within the last ten posts, we've met two people whose thinking is so original that they couldn't resist falling back upon that cute little smear-term "Trumpf".

That sort of behavior says a lot about just who is attempting to lead whom around with a ring in their high-placed noses.

LOL At least he was honest. I have also seen other posters here who have written how "whites" built this country and the great values they brought. That's exactly what I meant with my previous post.

Even though most Trump supporters are not old enough to have built this nation themselves, They love to talk about how this nation was built by white people(sometimes they will say Western values). They will tell us that only white people did so. They won't tell us of course, the other part of the story, that slavery and slave wages that came after slavery was abolished allowed white people to prosper. Nope only white people built America according to them.

What we are seeing is a form of white nationalism. They ignore what other races have contributed and they feel entitled because of the color of their skin, not because of their personal accomplishments. They never mention the people in their own race who abuse benefits, commit crime. No, whites are better because according to them only whites built this country. The minorities have only contributed crime and abuse of entitlements. So in their views a black doctor or lawyer didn't accomplish much becausue he probably got accepted to school because of affirmative action. He must have stolen that opportunity from a good old white man that unfortunately had to become a meth addict. No way the black was qualified to be a doctor, they will say because according to them black people's average IQ is 85.

White nationalism is an ideology that advocates a racial definition of national identity.[1] These individuals identify and are attached to the perceived white nation.[2] It ranges from a preference for one's ethnic group, to feelings of superiority and forms of white supremacism, including calls for national citizenship to be reserved for white people, as in Rhodesia

How is Trump going to accomplish any of the vague promises he has made?

My question is not why people support him. It is why they believe him.
He has smart people working on it. Pay attention next time!

Because they are two face hypocrites. Our party can do it but yours can't. I wonder how they stand up without a backbone.

I don't think that little RC plane flying over USS Harry Truman would have returned to base so they can brag about the video. It was a disgrace. I wouldn't be surprised if they chase out our entire strike group out of the Gulf by those rubber dinghies.

Thanks, I think it is cute also, but I use it hoping someone might draw the connection and similarity of their rallies.


I noticed you use cute little smear-terms such as "Hanoi Jane" and "the Democratic party is a cancer on society" quite often. You might trying updating to something more current?
