Mitt Romney made a ton of money and yet still managed to pay very low taxes. He's a clever guy.

Trump's just an asshole. He lost a ton of money by sucking at business.

Maybe, in other years, he made some of it back. Who knows?

But the guy is no great shakes when it comes to business. Or anything, really.

No one with any sense at all would walk around in public with that thing on his head. (And I'm not talking about the red idiot cap.)

I just thought it would be bad. More giveaways to the rich and such. But at least he was a competent person.

They want to "punish" the Establishment. (Ever notice how Conservatives pick up on Liberal ideas fifty years down the line?).

Trump supporters seem to want the Government to fix their lives for them, just like they accuse welfare recipients etc.

Most Trump supporters don't care about his failed businesses. It could be revealed that Trump is worth less than a million dollars and his base will still support him. The only thing the vast majority of Trump supporters care about is that he will build a wall and deport Mexicans and Muslims.
