It has something to do with choices in case you haven't been paying attention and where do people get the idea the GOP is the party of family values anymore than we are the party of only old white men? Yes, we are family value driven, but we either don't vote or we vote for the lesser of the evils. He has been married 3 times, not good: he fathered a baby out of wedlock, not good, seems to have a foul mouth and talks about things that belong in the privacy of ones home, but he didn't choose to stay with an adulterer and then blame the women for hubby straying over years. He has not been involved in several scandals over a period of close to 40 years. He did lie to 4 families. I could go on and on. I have always felt it is my obligation to cast my vote: many feel this way, we have to choose, this time, between 2 really sleezey candidates. One has no class, the other is a liar.
They lost the culture war, they know it, but they have other issues that concern them. For the over 50-something whites, quality of life has declined, as evidenced by increased suicides. Most of Trump's base seems to be over 60 and suffering from senility and will rally around the first demagogue that opens their mouth and spouts symbolically racist sentiments because rational thought is dying along with their deteriorating prefrontal cortexes, and all they are operating on is fear, even if Trump has no real sane solutions to anything.
OMG, Trumps base is anything but "over 60" crowd. It is more the younger voters, and the frustrated Democrats. True conservatives, especially the older ones are appalled at the choice we have. Where in the world did you get the idea it is older voters supporting him? As for suicide rate and the over 50, what does one have to do with the other? It isn't "over 50s' that are responsible for he increase in suicide. I am guessing you are younger and have spent very little time around older Americans or done much research as to who is supporting who.
And how many wives did he have as compared to family values man Trump?
1 less divorce; partied while his pregnant wife was having a miscarriage. Trump (who I can't stand either) never was involved in a party that resulted in a death of a young women. In fact he doesn't even drink. come to think about it, maybe that is why I don't like him?
He had his hands in the cookie jar from WAY BACK. My real point is that Americans will elect for reasons unknown, a real slime ball that they know is a real slime ball.
You Americans never learn. You elected Richard Nixon knowing full well he was a crook. Now will you elect Drumpf knowing full well the skuzzy slimball he is? I would not be too surprised. Nothing the US does surprises me anymore.
You guys just elected a guy so liberal, he makes Obama look like a far right conservative. Good luck with that when your country turns into the new Sweden.
