  • Sat next to a Trump voter today at work. First time I've actually sat down and spoken to one.

    Her main reason was that Trump wasn't Clinton, and that the Clintons think they're above the law. I think it's fair to say she finds the dynastic nature of the Clintons arrogant and presumptive, which I kind of get.

    She gave the example of how the Clintons bought a house in Westchester County, N.Y. in the run up to the election and didn't get any of the building permits they needed, they just went ahead with the work. She thought that summed them up so no wonder emailgate chimed.

    She said she doesn't necessarily like Trump much as a person but he's a successful businessman and he's beholden to nobody, unlike Hilary who is beholden to many.

    Interesting.

  • I do find this view interesting- Trump is a failure in business, he's lost money rather than made it. He's also owned by the people whom he owes- who would seem to be, ultimately, Russian.

  • Interesting

    Batshit nuts, you mean. Irrespective of the policies of either Trump or Clinton, irrespective of their actions and statements in the run up to the election, those reasons are ridonk. Trump's entire industry and business has been based on overextending credit, defaulting, ignoring codes and licensing, and not least, evading / avoiding taxes at the corporate and personal level.

    As to not being beholden? You don't end up handing over billions in real estate to someone like Carl Icahn through the kindness of your heart.

  • This is very similar to what the Trump voters I met on holiday were saying. They don't really like Trump but Hillary is worse and at least Trump will 'get stuff done'.
    Then they asked me if I was worried that ISIS had infiltrated the U.K. and I laughed in their faces (politely).
