In reply to the discussion: I am really stumped why college educated/intelligent persons support Trump. [View all]TruckFump
(5,812 posts)15. Not in the least.
A friend of mine fell on hard times and was losing her home. I said something and he along with other friends each ponied up without being asked $100 to help out. He gets his pets (loves cats) either by finding baby kittens and parenting them or going to shelters and adopting. Loves dogs, too.
In fact, he dislikes charter schools...thinks that the public schools deserve the tax dollars and should be made better. He has bucks and his two sons are public school educated and have Cal State University degrees. He said that they could go to any school they wanted and Cal State Long Beach was the choice.
This man has the personality traits of a liberal...why does he worship Trump????
I am totally stumped.
