of the populous. We are not evenly divided when it comes to Trump vs the rest of America. More like 40% to 60%

(54,770 posts)who are mad trump hasnt deported 10 million immigrants, bombed Iran and N Korea, locked up liberals including Clinton, just dont want to admit supporting trump, etc. That 7 - 10% will still vote for trump. So, its really more than 40%, unfortunately.

(4,125 posts)There are probably 7-10% who say they approve of him because theyll get a beating if they say otherwise, but when theyre in the voting booth its fuck-off, Republican bastards.
Most of the polls DO NOT call cell phones, and virtually everyone I know who still has a landline is also having prostate problems, so the 40% figure is probably much closer to less than 30.

(54,770 posts)for Democrats. Of course, in my red state, I encourage white wingers to vote for the Libertarian. We've got a wonderful, super qualified Democratic candidate for governor against a man who spent millions to attract the ignorant white wing vote and is proud of being a racist rube.
