anyone even heard of any democrats for trump?

[unblock]

we've all heard stories, maybe even know some people, who are republicans voting for hillary.

there've been a few visible ones, powell, the bushes, e.g.

but i've never even heard of a democrat going for trump.



another reason i have been and remain confident in our chances on tuesday.

1. Wow that even just sounds weird

[DinahMoeHum]

2. Me neither. What's happening for TrumpleThinSkin right now. . .

. . .is little more than a "dead cat bounce".

Stay the course, GOTV, and we'll bring it all home for Hillary and the Democrats this coming Tuesday.

3. Sadly, yes.....

..I know a couple. It's hard to fathom but they are out there. Which is what worries me.

And yes, I know they are Democrats and we've had conversations throughout our lives where they agree with me and support Democratic candidates and the like so I know they are not "not all Democrat" types like Alan Colmes, Pat Cadell and others of that ilk.

They just really want change and feel that the political system needs to be shaken up. They've fallen on hard times themselves and while they don't necessarily blame Democrats or Obama they just don't feel like another 4-8 years of the status quo is going to make anyone's lives better and merely just keep things inching along.

I don't agree with them and I hate this about them and it has changed my entire opinion of them. But my point is....they are out there. More than we may like to think.

7. I can understand feeling helpless about having a bad financial situation

I had a real mess for years during the last recession. But why would these people you mention want to vote for someone who will utterly annihilate the US economy? They'd be a lot worse off under a Trump presidency.

14. They don't actually think they will be better off....

...they just hate the system and what it has done to the country and are voting against the status quo.

They admit that Trump may not help their situations, but they think it will open up the floodgates to outsiders and non-establishment types into the political system. They like the fact that even Republicans like Ryan and Romney and others seem to hate him too so they don't see him as being beholden to anyone not even the Republican establishment.

As Michael Moore has written about this election cycle their vote for Trump is a big "Fuck you" to a system that they feel has said "Fuck you" to them too many times.

4. There may be a very few registered democrats with that mindset, but way over 90%

of the Democrats would not go for trump

[MyNameIsKhan]

5. Yup I have too, and he is great person... not at all deplorable.

9. Sorry if you vote for Trump

You are giving approval to racism,sexism,sexual assault/rape,and being a-ok with having a leader being a loyal puppet to Russia.

[marybourg]

10. I think the poster you responded to

was making a joke, Notice that he referred to democrats for trump in the singular; that is there's one of them.

[MyNameIsKhan]

11. My friend is going to vote for trump, I tried to talk him out of this and atleast moved him

to Johnson, but who knows what people do at polls.

[maryellen99]

12. Sorry that stinks nt

[PeteSelman]

6. Yeah, some of the guys I work with love Trump.

But they're the same guys who voted against Obama in 08 and 12. I'll never understand union guys who vote for right to work candidates. It's mostly because of guns and The rest is racism, sexism and homophobia.

[Charlotte Little]

8. Yes, two

They are family members - white, women and very educated. They are older, so maybe that's it. I don't know.

I can't understand it and I try to just block it out of my mind because I love them both. I certainly won't disown them for it.

But the democrat crossovers are out there. Just as there are Republicans crossing over for HRC.

This is why it's just so imperative that everyone votes and that we pray sanity prevails.

13. I've talked to a few. Their #1 reason for supporting the CON is he's not a politicaian.

They really believe he's the candidate who could make some BIG CHANGES. I tell them change for the sake of change is not a valid reason to choose a candidate, and are they SURE what changes he would make are for the good of the Country? I always get the response "No I'm not sure, but I'm willing to take a chance on him. If he doesn't do good things, it's only 4 years and we'll get rid of him."

They don't realize just how LONG 4 years can be and the amount of damage that can be done!

15. Oh yes many of them. They are people that work or used to work in the coal,

steel or other manufacturing industries.
