Great link, thanks! I had no idea what motivated the Trump voters, but knew that there were a lot of them.

I thought it was interesting myself Capt Seid Waddell. Everyone has their own reason for picking the candidate that they do, but every reason has its' own back story.

I'm not personally a huge trump fan, but I can definitely see what people who back him think and it's understandable.

It's genius, actually. In my opinion, it seems like heretofore in previous elections, there were a lot of "single-issue voters", and such seriously large pockets of them, that it was easy to pander to them for a candidate to win the majority of the electorate. Now, there are so many smaller factions of single-issue voters, and with so many issues to make singular - that it's almost too easy.
Polls are tough, and as was mentioned in this article, pundits and political scientists are teaching that Trump supporters are "angry," "non-college-educated", and maybe even "xenophobic".
The article also suggests that there are not enough supporters, for the reasons listed, to elect a president. Do they really think that? Donald Trump's campaign is going kinda strong. The worst you could say about him, has already been said. Stuff is popping up left and right about Hillary - she is taking on water.
