I was going to vote for her until all of the evidence came to light that she was trying to steal the nomination. She was very likely going to win it anyway, but she had to pay people off to undermine her opponent in every way possible. I always thought that the email controversy was bogus, especially compared to all of Trump's skeletons. The whole Bengazi thing was garbage too. More diplomats had been killed under previous administrations. If you're looking to place blame for HRC loosing the election, blame HRC. She alienated her own party by making sure that her opponent didn't get a fair shake.

I am a Trump supporter. I look forward to having a respectful and mature debate with you regarding Trump's policies and stance. Just a little background information here: I am a college student in New England. I am 21 years old and Asian. I have a girlfriend who also supports Trump. I am an immigrant but I will be a citizen after I marry my love. The Trump supporters in my university(which is more scarce than gold in the Earth's crust) numbers few. And after the victory we were all celebrating. For I believe in traditional values and a free market. I am a conservative, also a classical liberal if you know what I mean. I wonder what your views are, so we could construct a discussion regarding Trump and his policies.

@basil5324

7 жыл бұрын

I see that you have certain concerns regarding an incoming Trump administration and its unpredictabilities. But I assure you that it will last for 4 or 8 years, then you get someone else. So live through and prosper, and better luck next time. But in reality Trump didn't win because of "racism" or "whitewash", Trump won because Hillary lost. What I mean by that is Hillary Clinton failed to perform on her bases(minorities and poor) in key battleground states. Thus the victory of Trump is not solely because of Trump, more because of the democrats failures to address the issues people actually want to hear. Furthermore, the Obama administration did not satisfy some Americans, especially in the rust belt. Their lives were changed radically, for the worse. Thus they invested their faith into someone else. Trump could be good, or bad. But they know four more years of democrats will only make their situation worse. So it was a gamble, almost. I just think calling these working class people, who are mostly white, demeaning names and titles is unbefitting and unbecoming of a political party. So were Trump's remarks of minorities, but at least they did have some factual bases. In short. America doesn't need a female president, nor an African American president. America needs a good president. And let us hope Trump is as good as he could be.

Basil So you are a 21 year old , in college, not a graduate which means....you've never voted before this election and as is true of most Trump supporters, you know nothing about how government works. Trump threatened to do all kind of things that no president can do. Your opinion means zip, zilch, nothing. He will either be impeached or some government agency will willingly and jump in and have him charged with all the crimes currently pending. So, don't hold your breath. He didn't win so quit saying that. The vote simply separated smart ppl from ignorant illiterates.

@basil5324

7 жыл бұрын

Flypurplecat Interesting argument. I have not voted before, nor did I vote this time. I am an immigrant with a student visa, I can't vote. I wonder why you say that most Trump supporters haven't voted before either. Compare the amount of whites that voted for Trump and for Romney in 2016, there is a 1% increase(I quote the NYT). The people that voted for Romney pretty much all voted for Trump, but that didn't win Trump the election. The minorities and women were the key to the race. They did not vote Hillary in a landslide, rather Hillary lost ground in all minority votes to trump. Which could point out that her campaign is mainly based on "I'm a woman" and "I'm protector of minorities", this bullshit doesn't work anymore. More whites with a college degree voted for Trump than Hillary, so I suppose the education system must be failing if all these "ignorant illiterate" people are going to college. Trump will be the president, my president, and your president. While pointing out that my opinions are worth nothing, so are yours. All your arguments are based on opinions and speculations. Trump won fair and square, rather than trying to deny the results, suck it up. I did not like the results of the two previous elections, but my life went on. And so will yours for the next four or eight years.

I would think that it is much more likely that people felt burned over Obama's time in office and, rather than choose a continuation of his policies, opted for the alternative.
