I still find it hard to believe that there is even that many that think this shit show is good. I expect to see a solid 30% something percent that comprises of the constant deplorables - but who on earth are the others?

I'm sure they don't account for all of them, but there are bound to be pockets of them all across the country.

I know many real people that still like him.

signs. One client of mine has tacked it to their henhouse. It's nicely complemented by their Confederate flag and the "Don't Treat On Me" license plates.

No matter what, there is always going to be around 30% that is the constant base the constant deplorable that will never change. I expect that. But 42% is above that base percentage and I'm just wonder who are they? I know my MIL is one. Someone I thought was liberal to moderate for years and years, but has jumped on the Trump train. I thought she might be an exception more than the rule, but apparently, there are people who you thought were more rational but have a vein of prejudice and paranoia deep inside and Trump pulls it to the surface

That the reason Saudi Arabia wasn't on the 'ban' list is because the Saudi's contributed so much to the Clinton's.

They're still running against her.

Can't get over the fact that 35% of NEA voted for Trump. I do know quite a few racist and sexist teachers, though. They tend to hide it well for the most part but the kids suffer under them.
