Then you shouldn't have attempted to paint Clinton as a Jew hater, which by your link you based on her working toward a mutually workable solution between Israel and Palestine. So what you're left with is that you're defending a guy who wants to create a religious test for entry into the country, "shut down" the internet, deport eleven million people, kill the families of terrorists, is a birther and vehemently racist and openly fantasizes sexually about his daughter. And of course he's the biggest liar of all the candidates running.
 
He pronounces people's racist xenophobic views that they have been keeping to themselves and making them think it's okay to start pronouncing those views aloud themselves. All while thinking they're just tired of being "politically correct". Nah, they just are tired of hiding their bigoted views.

Yes, Republicans have won a majority of this group. Have for decades. Definitely will in 2016 The Demos win by capturing a lot of white working class vote ( but not most),nearly all of th Black vote and most Hispanics. Thus the Demos win California, NewYork, Illinois, etc.

59% of white voters voted for Rombey...39% for Obama.

Most white voters will be voting Republican in 2016 regardless of the candidate. 95 % of Blacks will vote Democrat and Probably 80% Hispanic

The Donald Trump phenomenon is a by-product of the right-wing media. For going on 8 years they've been essentially propagandizing a segment of the electorate and a great deal of passion among the so-called "Angry White Male" demographic. That's not to suggest angry white males are his supporters exclusive any more than just "Soccer Moms" care about education and public safety, just that this is the core group. A lot of fear-based tribalism, resistance to cultural change, xenophobia and probably most notably, criticism of nearly everything and everybody with an angry undertone.

It's really quite simple.

1. He's a man.
2. He's not bought and paid for
3. He doesn't want to destroy the country with huge amounts of immigration.

You know, it's increasingly difficult to resist painting the rest of the nation's conservatives with your particular brand of conservatism...but if that's what it will take to elect Hillary (or Sanders), I'm a-gonna break out my industrial-grade paint sprayer....

Whomever the Republican nominee is, they will have one primary feature,
They are not Hillary!
I would not be happy if Trump were the nominee, but again,
He is not Hillary!

The possibility of Trump being the republican candidate is the only reason I'm even considering voting for Clinton.
