I agree with that.  I think Trump chases a lot of people over to the Democrats, and these are people (like me) who would normally be repelled by the policies of the Democrat Party.  

There are other factors involved, but I think Trump is the main one.

I’m curious about this dynamic. You say you are normally repelled by the policies of the Democrats but you chose to vote for them because of one man. Are your values always so flexible and easily abandoned? Would you begin eating food you dislike because a person you detest also eats the foods you like? 

That’s not sarcasm, I’m genuinely curious.
