Showing Original Post only (View all)I am really stumped why college educated/intelligent persons support Trump. [View all]
I know someone, he is a very nice man...EXCEPT...he spouts the RWNJ crap all the time.
Yesterday re Trump's head photo-shopped on Rocky's body, his response? "Trump's a fighter."
What he hell gives with someone like this???? He's not religious, never has been, not an anti-abortion nutcase, does not think that women are lesser creatures and I have not seen any bigotry.
Can anyone not only explain this? I am totally puzzled why anyone with an education -- UCLA grad -- and not on drugs or insane would be so clueless!
