Help me understand your support of Trump

Wish I could post this in the Conservative forum, but can't. If you are able to cross post it there that would be great.

As we get closer to election day, and the madness that will ensue regardless of the results, I figured I'd take a moment to better understand what is it that drives your support for Trump?

On the recent issue of jokes, people seem to forget that Trump has been calling everyone names from the moment he started his first political campaign and his opponents have continued to do the same. Both parties react the same childish way when the other ones does it.

If you feel that Trump represents you as a person, and you seriously want to stop the apparent hate of all Americans, you wouldn't stand for it if it was for your party or the opposition. But he is held to such a glorified pedestal for some reason, that I can't understand. He can do no wrong in the eyes of Republicans, the same way Dems react to their candidates and it's sickening.

We can't deny that there's a lot of hatred for some reason surrounding his rhetoric for immigrants, and that it has driven plenty of people to make comments that are racist in nature.

These politicians don't really care about YOU in the way that you somehow rep their colors and images and appear to almost be willing to do whatever is necessary for them. Trump has shown insane character flaws, a lot which we wouldn't want in the person running for PRESIDENT of the US. Yet, it's as if the majority of the party does not care for it, and overlook them simply because he holds the attention of the masses and that will get them all to power.

Ex-cabinet members, some highly ranked military members that have had prestigious careers and are applauded for joining his team because of what they represent. Yet somehow, all of that goes out the window the moment they decide to say something about him. Somehow at that time, they lose all of the credibility and prestige they had previously, why? Because they shared a negative opinion of Trump. Instead of somehow trusting the opinion of those that have a lot more to show in terms of character than him, the masses go back to believe that Trump is right.

This forum makes an attempt to present itself as somehow more willing to hold discussions different than those "libs", but there's a lot of the same type of reaction that goes in the 'other' forums.

If you all wish we could back to more conservative views and policies, you can't tell me that Trump, a billionaire that probably has never faced the same challenges that YOU have in your life, a person that is very hard to believe is a genuine christian and not really using that in order to garner more votes, is THAT person that is going to take you there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your response.
