This person (sadly disappointed in him) says he is voting for Trump. He usually votes for a Democrat! He explained that because Trump is a good businessman he will run the country well. I was speechless at first and then asked him what are his policies on education, foreign affairs, the environment and he said he didn't know. This man is fairly intelligent - are the media having an effect?

(1,415 posts)I have been saying this on some other threads.. he is a threat.. he is a liberal on trade, more for womens issues than Jed.. altho he is now anti-abortion.. but says in intervieews that he supports the other stuff PParenthood does.. wants to rebuild the infrastructure.. he reminds me of an old school conservadem from the 40s rather than a GOPer.. he is brash . but i'm telling you people respond to it.. he could easily win... dont underestimate him.. i have Dem friend that was a Hillary supporter now supporting him.. oh well.. we desercve what we get.. unless Hillary can improve her image or Bernie can get widespread support i am beginning to really worry about 16... he is really bad on immigration.. he would lose most of the latino vote,... but could cut into the White Democratic/Indy share of the vote and kill us... just sayin
