I live in a middle class suburb, so it's not bad in my neighborhood, but 10 minute drive into the countryside is Trump country, and filled with the type of people I described. I've lived here since I was a teenager, and before that I grew up in the sticks in PA. Been around these kind of people all my life, but I'm not in a hurry to leave just yet. |

Newsflash - Trump country is everywhere ... from the lower class slums to the upper class elite neighborhoods. Trump will win PA with Kasich 2nd and Mr. Haney a distant 3rd.

Man I am so way past mad at them!

Yes, it tells us a lot about the "establishment" politicians that instead of taking a good look at themselves and how they failed us, they are more concerned about preserving their positions of power than they are concerned about the country.

McLaughlin Group was just unanimous that Trump locks it up before the convention.

But it also makes those that tout being non-judgmental look a bit hypocritical

"I'd date my daughter if I could." Which, let's face it, is not the usual sexual preference of a candidate for President if the United States.

Perhaps that's simply a compliment to his daughter. I think most men do in some way attempt to raise daughters that are dateable in their own eyes...not for themselves, but rather women they could recommend to themselves (hopefully pretty high standards as mature adults) if not related. It's like men that want to marry women similar to their mothers - that doesn't mean that they'd put a ring on mom if given the chance. |

So, I have to laugh when you say Trump supporters are hardworking, LOL! Hate to break it to you, but your average Trump supporter's highest educational attainment is high school, poor, white, and racist and misogynistic.

I personally know many very educated professionals who voted for Trump and are supporters. So trying to paint Trump supports as you have is just another anti-Trump tactic in trying to make Trump or his supporters look bad. Guess if you tell this lie often enough you then begin to buy into it even when its not 100% factual |

If trying to be devicive and insulting - might as well say Hillary supporters are the least educated with the highest crime rates (blacks). |
