Kentucky still has a Democratic legislature and Trump is performing pretty awfully in conservative states. He also has zero ground game which would account for the disparity in stickers and signs.

Have you seen the lines of people for blocks and block outside his rallies, many in freezing or treacherous heat? These are the people that will stand in line on voting day.

Enough with the identity politics, we are all Americans. We need to do what's best for our country. Do you like how the past 8 years have been? Vote Hill. If you think everything has been jacked up and needs a different direction, vote Trump. The last thing we need is a identity politics fight (like we've had the past few years). We are all in this together people.

Saw them in 2008 when Sarah Palin was holding rallies. Didn't really mean much though. Rallies =/= election day turnout.

How do you react to white men voting like a minority bloc?
Trump wins, God bless us and then some.

White folks dragged through the mud the last few years. As some wit mentioned DT represents the last stand of white people.

Well, lucky you. We MUST show a photo ID and I fully support that. We have a LOT of illegal aliens here and the line would be too long if they were voting, and we darn well know who they would be voting for.

There are loads of different backgrounds and experiences. In essence, there really aren't enough white men to carry him.
I think there will be plenty of other votes to cover for yours. And, we all know he carries voters across the demographics. We got it covered!

Yeah, that's not it. You'll see people early in the day who are out of work or only working part-time. Later in the day, the people who have a job but are worried about losing it when it is either shipped overseas or taken by an illegal alien. One in every 8 white collar jobs are now held by an illegal alien.

Not sure why anyone would think that a woman wouldn't have enough integrity to, at least, vote again Hillary, probably our WORST example of an American woman.

Trans white men will neither,just ask Chaz Bono.

You forgot some wealthy white men like George Soros,Warren Buffet,and Bill Gates.

Muslim white men will not vote for Trump either.

Maybe 70% of white men might be plausible.

I think many people like Trump's message but they just do not like the person delivering it.
Well, I don't think anyone really expect 100%. There will be people in every demographic voting for him though.

It has already been established again and again and again that Trump is drawing from all demographics.

I agree. It sounds like prejudice to me when one group after another is lumped together as one solid voting block. This is what the Democrats use to try to divide and conquer. We are all Americans and that is what voters need to take to the polls.

Angry white folk does not automatically mean they all vote for Trump. You are assuming angry white men don't think for themselves.
I know some white guys who are not angry and they are voting for Trump. Misguided yes, angry no.
Even the lowest of the low can think for themselves in the privacy of the voting booth.

In America we can vote for who we want.

Time to wake up now, Trump might not even take Arizona and GA.

Yeah, that's not it. You'll see people early in the day who are out of work or only working part-time.

Source ? Are you calling McDonalds Cashier and Landscaper white collar ? I have never worked with an illegal alien as a peer in my white collar job.

Yes, women only count as real if they are in the Miss America Pageant or work for Fox News (or are blonde).


Well, I don't think anyone really expect 100%. There will be people in every demographic voting for him though.

He is going to get almost no black votes, almost no latino votes, fewer females voters than Romney. My father, a lifelong Republican is not voting for him. Who are all these mysterious Trump Voters ?


It has already been established again and again and again that Trump is drawing from all demographics.

Please cite the sources for your factoids (fox?)


I agree. It sounds like prejudice to me when one group after another is lumped together as one solid voting block. This is what the Democrats use to try to divide and conquer. We are all Americans and that is what voters need to take to the polls.
cWhen I watched the Democratic convention, I saw a greater cross-section of America represented than any picture of the audience at the Republican convention - that is not dividing and conquering.

God will have blessed us and Satan can come and reap the soul that was promised him as Hillary sinks into history!
NICE ! - What was it you were saying about bringing us all together ?

If you go out to the mostly white working class small towns, you'll generally find universal condemnation of Hillary Clinton as a criminal who should be in jail, particularly amongst men. That being said, from my observations, this doesn't always lead to support for Donald Trump. Many of them see him as bigoted, divisive, mean, and unstable. That's why you have two candidates with horrible approval ratings - many of the Clinton haters are not necessarily on board with Trump.

Where is Sarah Palin these days?

Haven't heard a peep out of her in months.

I missed her at the RNC.
