Hate Didn’t Elect Donald Trump; People Did

SGT Ben Keen - You are correct that is the key statement. Having watched this Election cycle and the rancor from the left and yes the right, America picked the person they think will actually DO something. 17 REP Candidates, most Establishment or tied to the establishment people. 2 Dem Candidates both heavily establishment people. Only Trump took the time to talk to Middle America, The only guy not of the Establishment, the establishment that has failed America.

I wouldn't call 'em "Tories": More like Bolsheviks, maybe. For all their faults and error in the 1770s, this side of the pond anyway, the Tories as such were always the conservative side of Crown politics.

MAJ (Join to see) - Tories were the loyalists to the King, they wanted to keep the corruption, taxation, and power of oppression. They feared the change and feared building something new. They liked being told what to do how to be and all around not have to make decisions for them selves. This is the essence of the current "liberal / progressive" group. Though not all / are millennial view upon them as a group in whole. What is it they truly want? They want a Women as President not because of her qualifications but because she is a Women. They want all the fruits of life with out the work. They want high pay for little work. Millennial are the SGT Bilko of the world. "All I ask is an Honest weeks pay for half a days work" 15 an hour to flip burgers, free internet, free school, free phones, free healthcare and they are willing to give up EVERY freedom they have to attain it... None of them understand that these items do not come out of thin air. Someone must go to school to be a Dr. Someone must create a Hospital, Someone must build and maintain the Phone and internet networks, they have been taught by the socialist teachers that socialism really does work... but it doesn't. On paper it is perfect socialism and communism but reality is 100% different. The Tories of this generation have failed to learn History, Economics and cause and effect.

TSgt Frank Shirley - Still typing in all caps I see and still pushing the racism mantra... I caught a commentary by CNN on the drive in to work today during the monologue of the speaker they referred to the entire Midwest as the "Rust Belt" and then went on to disparage them for having voted for Trump. Just as you blaming racism... The reality is in the "Rust Belt" they voted for Trump because he spoke to them of JOBS... Yes I know that is a terrifying word to the Tories. What have the Policies of the REP and the DEM's done to keep manufacturing plants in America? Trump may have run on a REP Ticket but be honest the hard Liners on the Right wing hate him as much as the Left. Trump was NOT elected because of Racism, the Man has Jewish grandkids, he has Hired every ethnic group, sexual orientation, nationality there is. He has pioneered women in construction, He has done more to Support and help Minority's than anyone gives him credit for. All those Hotels equal JOBS, jobs building them maintaining them staffing them. For 30 years he was in the limelight hanging out with Sharpton, Tyson, Don King, M. Jackson, he has Married 2 foreigners in his life. This continued Racism charge is Torie Propaganda. You need to let it go. I think at this point you are the racist one.

CPO (Join to see) - A fair rebuttal--- though I wouldn't fully agree with your conclusions about the full set of them. It actually echoes many of my primary-season sentiments about the early Trump support base. I wouldn't ad hominize them by comparing the Dems as their equivalents, though--- I think that's more what I was getting at, whatever their recorded failings.
