He's a straight talker, He tells it like it is

Great point made by guest on The Reid Out.

They've overlooked his boorish ways because they love that he's a straight talker.
Trump fans have said they like Trump because he tells it like it is. He sure as hell did not tell it like it is when he had the American people's lives on the line.

They liked that he's blatant about his hate.

They never meant to say he was candid or honest otherwise. It was always only a statement about his blatant hate.

He tells them what they want to hear.

= That their problems are due to minorities, women, and immigrants getting unfair advantages, not because wealthy and powerful people are hoarding the wealth.

Trump's supporters want someone to say the n-word and put gays, women, and POC in "their place". They don't care who.
