Do most people vote on the issues or on their emotions? [View all]

Naturally, if they lose their healthcare or food stamps, it is important to them.

But, in my opinion, they are more likely to vote for something that pisses them off or gets an emotional reaction than the so-called issues.

For example, I think more people would vote against tearing up the Rose Garden and tearing down the White House and partying with their billionaire friends than they would if their food stamps and healthcare were taken away.

Just my opinion.
