A lot of Trump supporters are very successful business people who have hit the glass ceiling because they cannot get past the gubberment bureaucracy and idiocy that has infected this country. Numerous folks have wanted to expand their small business, but then Obamacare came along. Some have wanted to expand but cannot compete against foreign companies without borrowing huge amounts of money from Wall Street and giving up control of their companies. The folks that like it that way are the one's who are spending money against Trump.

I just have my doubts.

This whole thought that Trump supporters are low hanging fruit is laughable and one of the reason a lot of Cruz supporters do their candidate more harm than good. Just as an example the only person I talked anything political with today has a college degree and has risen extremely fast in his chosen career field and is actually over the whole southeastern division of the corporation he works for and he is 100% for Trump. I really think some of y'all should focus on emphasizing your candidates positives as you see it instead of insulting people because they are voting for someone other than your chosen one......... I don't think it has a thing to do with education. Low information doesn't mean that at all. I think maybe they are just looking at other information than you that they think is equally important as you. From my conversation he thinks this country needs someone with a business background that knows how to get things done unlike politicians that have never created one job and have basically screwed up this country's manufacturing base.........democrats and republicans.

I would agree with that. Except I can't ignore his history.
People are trusting that he's changed. I don't believe it for a second and I don't do business with people I don't trust.
I refused to shake Larry Lankfords hand way back in the day when everyone thought he was great. He would say all the right things, but I knew the real LL. I knew how dirty he was, how greedy he was and how you couldn't trust a thing he said.
NOBODY would believe a word of it. I refused to shake his hand when cameras were rolling and nearly lost my job over it. But my grandfather taught me a man that didn't honor his word wasn't worth shaking hands with. So I didn't.
I feel much the same way about Trump. He's shown me his past and done nothing but talk about being different now.

I get what you're saying and would normally agree. I will submit my last response to this thread by saying that I have often contracted with what most folks call "hired guns". A specialist to do a specific task. If I can't do anything else with my vote in the next election, I would like send the GOP a "hired gun" message. And I would rather it be Trump than Hillary.
