cut n pasted from USA Today.com:

Trump has drawn supporters from across all ages.
He wants to make this country a better country, said Cade McEwan, 12, of Grand Bay, Ala. In the process he doesnt care about hurting anyones feelings.
Carolyn Brown, 75, of Silver Hill, Ala., said she has always voted Democrat, but Trump has swayed her to vote Republican for the first time in her life.
I believe he is the man that God has chosen to bring America back, she said. He actually seems like he can pull it together. He has the charisma. Everybody wants to pay attention to what he says.

Why does God have to get into everything? And why is not caring about people's feelings a good thing? That isn't the way I was raised. (oh, wait - they mean certain OTHER people's feelings but not theirs) PLUS - they quoted a 12 year old????

Less common for children with closely spaced older siblings.
I doubt there's much correlation to adult behavior.
... or do you mean religion?

(23,156 posts)Although I am of course aware of children having invisible friends when young. I personally never had any, nor did either of my children. I believe all three of my sister's kids had them.

This is, as Matt Taibbi pointed out, getting a little scary.
