1. Are you willing to send your child to fight a Trump war?

3. Are you willing to see cuts to your Medicare?
4. Are you willing to give up your health insurance for vouchers?
5. Are you willing to give up public education?
6. Are you willing to give up all research on climate control?

9. Do you want Russia and Putin to have influence on the U.S. Government
These are just a few of the questions that pollsters should ask those who supported Trump and voted for him.
I don't think many of those that voted for him really understood what exactly they were voting for. It would be interesting to see how they would respond to such a poll.
I'm sure there are other questions that could be asked. Feel free to include them in the thread of this post.

Their answers would put them into an intellectual trap that they cannot talk out of - although they will try.

1. No, but someone else's kid can go fight the war and I would have no problems with that happening.
2. No, because I deserve to get my Social Security because it is there and I worked for and paid into the program. Now, I have no problem with Social Security being taken away from blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants because all of those people are lazy and did not work to support the program.
3. Not to my Medicare, but, once again, I would be just fine with you cutting the Medicare of blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants because they are lazy and did not pay into the program to support the program.
4. If you would just get all the lazy blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants off the program it would not have to be made into a voucher system. Therefore, just kick all blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants off the program.
5. Yes, because public education only spread lies and makes our children stupid.
6. Climate control is a hoax started by the Chinese government and liberals.
7. Yes, because only liberal want alternative energy, which was proven by all those alternative energy companies that failed after President Obama gave them $500 trillion. I want my coal energy job back, which is what I will get from Trump.
8. I would not have to pay more for gas if the stupid hippy liberal would stop doing things that make gas higher. Just let the market do its job.
9. Putin and Russia would not have had influence in the U.S. if President Obama had not been such a sissy.

But of course they would be offended and it wouldn't really accomplish anything.
