Blind poll re: Trump yes or no?

a friend and I were just talking about this last night. I can't imagine anyone truly supporting him, and if a friend did I'd seriously rethink that friendship. Her theory, and she's conservative, is that it's a ploy by the democrats to make the republicans look like buffoons.

Don't mind at all. I'd really love to see if we get anyone voting yes who isn't afraid to vote in a poll because its anonymous unlike posting a thread. I'm simply baffled that Trump is leading the polls still at this point. But some people, somewhere must be posting those numbers.

Debbie in MD.

So there are some people here that do support him. I'm wondering why?

So, I'm wondering if any of the 14 (so far) peas here who support Trump would tell us why?  

I'm really not being sarcastic but I can't see one reason to vote Trump in as POTUS.   Am I missing something?  The thought of this truly terrifies me.

(Edited to fix horrible sentence structure!   )

Not just a no, but a hell no.

Just what exactly are Trumps policies and plans beyond calling people names and patting himself on the back for "so much winning?"

I don't know that I really believe that would be a widespread effort, but I have seen a couple of posts on FB encouraging Dems and Ind to change their registration to be able to vote for him in the primary.  That really irritates me, as does the whole notion of open primaries. If we are going to do that, then we just need to do away with parties and take the top vote getters. Why should I, as a Republican, be able to have any input as to who the Dems want to represent them?

I try to stay out of political threads, but I'm curious about those who support Trump. Is it because he's a straight talker, non-politician, or because of his policies. I ask because today my DH gave his college students the assignment to go to Clinton and Trump's websites and write about their stances on the issues. He found out that on Trump's site, he only lists ONE issue. Immigration. That's it. No other issues are even listed.

I am really trying to understand what about him attracts supporters. It doesn't seem like he has any constructive solutions to any problems. He just likes to call people names. What is it about him that people like?

I think it is the exact opposite. It's a ploy by the republicans. The outlandish candidate is making headlines now. When the primaries roll around, everyone will look at the boring candidates who manage to survive that long and see them as a breath of fresh air.

Obama had been elected to public office before. The comparison is laughable.

As a registered Independent, who doesn't vote a particular party line, I'm not a Trump supporter. Not only has he taken a stance on just one issue, immigration, but I do not find him likable, trustworthy, sincere, or...presidential. Unless he creates/reveals his platform, gets the Republican nomination, & faces a Democrat opponent with similar flaws, I will not consider him for my vote.  

A diverse group casually meets once a month to catch up; sometimes we volunteer together & other times we just chat about our lives or random topics. The most recent meeting was devoted to the election cycle. While many were outraged about Trump's comments, specifically regarding women, one acquaintance gives him the benefit of the doubt & believes his media strategy is to consistently use inflammatory language & drop celebrity names to dominate the 24/7 news cycle (i.e. all publicity is good publicity). Another person speculated that, as a non-career-politician, he & Ben Carson represent the type of leaders the founding fathers intended to run our government. I found not only the differences in people's interpretation & assessment of candidates interesting, but also that no one was an avid supporter of any candidate somewhat discouraging. As I've previously stated, I'm hoping this election will not be another exercise in deciding between the lesser of two evils...UGH! 

The comparison is laughable to you, because you missed what her comparison actually is.

And I have no doubt there's a good number of people who did NOT vote for him just because he is black. The only difference is that they won't admit to it publicly.
