Views/responses from dozens of people (men and women) across the United States regarding Trump's rise.

Excerpt: "Last week, I asked Donald Trump supporters why they believe that the billionaire real-estate developer will treat them any better than the career politicians they mistrust."

"I understand the candidate’s rise better than I did before. Broadly speaking, the men and women who wrote fall into two categories: Those who earnestly believe that Trump is the best choice to lead America and those who are motivated by giddyness at the chaotic spectacle of his success."

# 28 ) Trump Has Successful Supporters––“I’m a college graduate, I have a Family, I work in an executive-level management position for a Fortune 500 company 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.”

Trump bashers have told us we are not educated.

Now I just don't know who to beleive. This guy or the Trump bashers who parrot the media.

I think I will just do what I have always done. Decide for myself.

Unlike Obama, Trump actually carries out his threats. Fear will keep the bad guys in line. Russia, Iran, N. Korea, and Fox News will cower before him. If N. Korea ever tested a nuke under Trump's watch, Trump will fly to Pyongyang himself and give that fat kid a paddling and take away his Twinkies. When the good guys make the bad guys **** in their pants, it's a good thing.

Because Trump has mastered politics as some see it:

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies. _____ Grouch Marx

The main reason they support Trump is that they love his rude comments. Remember this is the Kardashian generation where Kanye West sexual preferences became trending topic recently. People are addicted to trashy behavior thanks to reality shows.

They don't really care about policy. Why do you think so many of them don't mind he was a liberal Just a few years ago? Republicans and especially conservatives have never forgiven any candidate who has ever supported liberal views especially things like abortion, state sponsored healthcare, gay marriage etc.

Watch them talk about Trump and they will tell you they love that Trump because he tells "like it is" and he is ending "politically correctness". They love to see Trump call people "bimbos" "criminals" " morons" "stupid" "not a 10 anymore" "ugly" "fat pigs" and when Trump calls entire racial groups "terrorists" or "rapists" or "criminals"

They love him because he is the bully they want to be. The so called "silent majority" is those people who want to insult minorities and women but can't do so yet because they will get fired or lose some of their friends who have been brainwashed by the liberal media who tells they have to be PC.

Could one of these intelligent Trump supporters please explain how he is going to institute the universal health care he has promised by making the wealthy pay for it?

Isn't that socialism? Is he going to change the tax system, simply bill these people or send enforcers around to collect?

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.

Why are they ok with policies that Obama proposed, but were called 'wealth redistribution' and socialism?

This seems to be the norm in politics, as the same can be said of other candidates supporters.
