My guess is the people who voted for Trump are the people who had zero faith in a corrupt liar like Hillary and were tired of the lame choices offered by the GOP.

Obvious. Those working folks are sick and tired of supporting the welfare non-workers.


And those who work during the week use weekends to spend with family and home.


The fact that you don't know that speaks volumes.

I live in Georgia(metro Atlanta). Pretty much the majority of Hispanic persons I know don't like Trump. Only one Hispanic person I know avidly supported Trump. The other Hispanic person I know basically held her nose while voting for Trump. To her, it was "I'd pick Gary Johnson, but he won't win".

I'm Black and I picked Gary Johnson. President Trump'saw comments about Blacks, well, I take it personal. His "I blame a Black president for Black rioters in Baltimore " rant on Twitter pretty much tells me he'said a bigot. His comments on Judge Curiel and singling him out for being Mexican tells me he won't just stop at insulting John McCain or Blacks. He'll go at Hispanics too.

Anyone who can go racially motivated like that, I don't trust to run this country. President Trump has said that he favors a national stop and frisk policy. I understand from looking at NYC, that it was quite racially motivated and violated the 4th Amendment. I once said I would not move to NYC because of S&F. If this policy is carried out nationally, there won't be anywhere to go to escape from it.

Are the majority of Hispanics you know possibly illegal aliens or sympathizers?

John McCain? Suggest you read extensively on him before making a judgement. I lived in AZ and researched him, I do not consider him a hero either. We have a lot of heroes, but he isn't one. Learn how he stood in the way of families trying to find out about the MIAs in their lives and put yourself in their shoes.

We all know that Obama was heavily supported by black voters and it was in those areas that supported him that the violence against Trumps supporters was happening. Drawing a conclusion about that does not make someone a racist!

Stop and frisk? Within certain guidelines? I agree and so would some in dangerous neighborhoods where people/children/teens are being murdered and illegal drugs flow like a waterfall.

I voted for Trump and am so relieved that he won. I was so sure Hillary would cheat her way to the win and so was she! Trump trumped!

How should I know. I don't ask such questions. I do know that if you single someone out based on their ethnicity, you will likely alienate alot of people.

So what if President Obama was heavily supported by Blacks? What does that have to do with rioting? That is bigotedition because Trump singled out the former President based on race and blamed the President for Blacks in Baltimore rioting.

John McCain is more a war hero than Trump. Yes, McCain disobeyed orders and it got him deep water. However, saying "I like soldiers who weren't captured" is an affront to those who were captured. If he had an issue with McCain,he should have kept it there and not taken a jab at POW's.

S&F is essentially "I can randomly stop you and pat you down if I even think you might be a criminal". No actual proof, just a hunch. That is what that really is. Police state. I don't want that going national. It could be used in not so bad areas.

I am quite scared of President Trump. Why? Some of the racial stuff he has said. He favors things similar to a pice state. And I believe that if he is this reckless now, he might take this to office. I am more concorned for domestichange policies. I have more to lose in that category than anywhere else.

Now, why should I have voted for Trump? What's in it for me?

Really? How boastful. What makes you think he will be so great? And if you learn some things about me, what does this administration have in it for me?
