It seems to me that conservative white GOPers are by far the angriest voting block. Many of these folks are quite racist to boot. That's why they love them some Donald Trump. They love his rants against Mexicans.

Sometimes I take a gander at websites like Free Republic and I just LOVE how miserable so many of them are.

These guys are positively furious about everything....from gay marriage to Obamacare. The Iran nuclear deal has them positively apoplectic. They're convinced armageddon is here.

Those dumbshits are a good contrary indicator.

If they are angry, then that's a good thing.
