I must admit - I don't understand Trump's appeal. I'm a liberal, in some sense - and I'd identify socially with classical libertarians. Economically I'm a supporter of demand side economics in the sense that Ayn Rand and Robert Heinlein espouse. So far I haven't been able to find any category or policy on which I align with Trump. Then again, I haven't been able to find any real depth on what Trump's policies are, so maybe I'm just missing something. Does anyone have any good references for his policy details, or could you explain some of the policies that influenced you to vote for him?

I've never seen his appeal. I think he's a vehicle for people who have a lot of anger in them.

Ok, then explain it to me. It's been years since my college economics course, and I'm certainly not infallible. I would honestly like to learn, but your response does not provide anything meaningful.

OK! I'll explain it to you! You should immediately go back to whatever bastion of liberal Bullshit that filled your head with such as that and DEMAND your money back!

Exactlly what we told you Never Trumpers over a year ago and YOU STILL will not listen to.

Trump can win and re-make the US political landscape. He can keep Clinton Crime Inc out of the White House and away from appointment 1-4 new SC Justices.

Then you are not paying attention and merely looking for an excuse to bitch. Considering your year long membership in #Never Trumpland, I am surprised you voted for him. You did everything you could, for about 9 months,  to help elect Hillary.

It is politics. If you think, rather then feel, your politics you realize that no candidate holds 100% the same view as you. Politics in a  Constitutional Republic requires  compromise not petulantly whining in the corner becasue no one running is your political clone.

You have one candidate who is 100% opposed to every moral and poltical value you hold. You have another one who is 25-50% at odds with your views.

Really no choice who you vote for. Arrogant children throwing a temper tantrum because they did not get their dream candidate are the only ones who had a problem figuring this out.

I will try to answer the question as someone who didn't vote for him but can understand why others did.

Feckless GOP, corruption in politics, Black lives matter, violence and riots in the cities, Obamacare, worse recovery in decades, mounting debt, declining middle class, deteriorating race relations, open borders, Hillary Clinton, college snowflakes demanding protection from free speech, Yale and Harvard professors who think they know what's best for everyone else, a media that views Middle America as the enemy, Middle East in a mess.....
