Many Trump supporters are actually fiscally liberal. They're upset with the GOP for outsourcing jobs and for low-income wages. They want to keep jobs in the US, they want to battle income inequality, they want affordable healthcare..

The only problem is that they want those things for white Christians and not for anyone else. That's why Trump is so popular, because he says he'll keep Latinos and Muslims out and he's not so sure about the KKK.
