YES...they would have voted for him anyway...

Think about it in these terms...the single LEAST qualified candidate in the history of the republic - INDEPENDENT of any collusion or treason with the Russians - won a bare majority in the convoluted Electoral College while LOSING the popular vote by more than 3 million votes.

Clinton was imminently qualified in temperament AND government experience AND international diplomacy to handle the current world stage and she was beaten by a lying, ill-tempered, short-fused, faux-colored asshat.

The people that voted for him wanted to put their thumb in the eyes of urban centers, liberals, people who believe in equality and basically anyone not lying through their teeth to them on their TVs and radios (ie. - they MAINLINED the Kool-Aid, 24/7 and they huffed cans of hate for good measure.)

They are not just deplorables, they are antisocial assholes.

They would have voted for him like he said, even he shot someone on 5th avenue....ironically one of the few times that truth passed his lips.
