Quote:This is not meant as a dig or to ridicule. I am simply trying to get an idea of the logic behind Trump supporters. I know many are voting for "Not Hillary" and don't want this to be about her. I have some questions about Trump which I am curious about. For those who will indulge me, I tried to make these simple yes or no questions, but welcome any additional commentary.

 

I'm voting for Hillary but here are my responses


1. Do you think Trump is a RINO (Republican in name only)?  I like the fact that Trump is somewhat in the middle.



2. Do you think Trump is a conservative?see above response



3. Do you trust / believe Trump? No, but I don't trust Hillary either



4. Do you think Trump has defined his policies well? Policies are for election only --- presidents change once they get elected.



5. Do you think Trump is rude / abrasive? Very --- he's only calm now to gain support --- if elected, he'll be back in rare form.


6. Do you think Trump cares about the average American? the white male american -- yes.


7. Do you consider Russia to be an enemy of the U.S.? not really -- they are trying but they are so far from being a superpower once again.



8. Do you think there is any truth to the accusations Paul Manafort and Carter Page have intimate ties to Russia?  i don't really care about that.  Hillary has probably taken more $$ in exchange for favors that anyone in the history of the US



9. Do you think there are things in the tax returns Trump once promised to release which prove he has lied about his net worth, where he gets his income or where his personal borrowing comes from? Trump and Hillary both take advantage of favorable tax laws for the super wealthy


10. Do you think he has the temperament to be president? he's kind of crazy but I would like to see him intervene in our inner cities to restore discipline -- I'm very disappointed in Obama as it relates to the subject matter.



11. Are you concerned a Trump presidency would alienate us from our closest allies?  Trade Partners -- yes.    Get ready to pay $$$  for american manufactured items.  We're currently paying $2/hour for Chinese & Indian products and about $4/hour for Mexican made items,   If we bring that back here, shopping at Walmart is going to feel more like shopping at Sax 5th Avenue in your wallet.  Still not certain how India gets a free pass when all of our IT services (that Americans actually prefer to do) is getting outsourced at $2/hour.
