[quote=Sandi Egan]Trump’s success has nothing to do with his policy proposals, issue stances etc. People are just fed up – pure and simple – with the status quo. Polls consistently show that overwhelming majority of citizens think the country is on the wrong track. Voting for any establishment politician only perpetuates the problem. So a vote for Trump is really a vote against the establishment.
Here’s what some of his supporters have to say. Note the diverse demographic: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/03/secret-donald-trump-voters-speak-out
BTW, I am NOT a Trump supporter. I would seriously consider Bernie, given a chance. I strongly believe that if a system doesn’t work, it’s my duty to vote for a change. And if the system is fundamentally flawed, the change must be equally radical.[/quote]
I also think this is what’s happening. A lot of people simply want politics to change and to change radically.
Part of it is to destroy the republican party since it’s pretty dead already. I don’t see why someone labeled “Republican” HAS to, say be conservative and pro-life, strong military, etc etc etc, anti healthcare (all the candidates pretty much want to remove healthcare for all…)…It’d be nicer if people just had a stance on issues without this party or that.
Maybe this year, destroy the republican party as a party, in 4 years, destroy the democrats also and remove all the establishment candidates.
One reason Clinton has so much black support is because she works to get her black friends elected so they are returning the favor…
Again, that’s all normal in life and how the world works, but most people would agree there is too much money in politics in general and the system is pretty unfair to help the elites win elections (Superdelegates for Clinton)…
I’m hoping some major issue comes up with the email server or something else and Clinton honestly can’t run…
Don’t see how Trump can stop her unless all the Bernie supporters move to support Trump just to vote “anti-establishment”.
