It is a 'white-lash', essentially older white men who feel threatened by minorities, women and people who are moving in on their historical dominance of society. It's an intrinsically and subconsciously racist vote: support the man who looks and thinks most like them, because they aren't allowed to talk like him or simply that they get scared of groups of people who's skin is a different colour to their's. It's why more rich voters voted for him, because they have the most to lose in a multi-cultural society. Same as the f*cking Brexit crowd, essentially - we need to keep everyone else out so we can maintain our dominance.

After the recession they found that their dominance was already waning because everyone hated them for screwing up our economy, so this is their only way of fighting back - essentially voting in a modern day Hitler.

There isn't a single shred of evidence for anything you've just said here. Keep guessing.

There are 100's of reasons why people would or wouldn't vote for either candidate

They are both incredibly disliked and terrible candidates.

You're incredibly disliked and a terrible candidate.

I think that's a fair comment, it's a theory, not presenting it as anything else. I don't have data to back it up, but would be interesting to see if anything comes out that could suggest whether I'm right or wrong. Struggling to see any logical reason for voting for somebody so anti-American.

Reads like you're presenting it as fact when it isn't, you're entitled to your own theories of course.

As for a logical reason to vote Trump, I'd say wanting friendlier relations with Russia is a good one. Who needs a thermonuclear war? Clinton is absolutely hostile towards Putin and Russia, just take a look at the rhetoric concerning Syria.

There are plenty of reasons why I wouldn't have voted for him.
