Because they agree with what he says. Do you know how often I have heard that same stuff from supposedly smart people in my line of work? I am not talking about some uneducated clown, but people law and business degrees from top universities. And that doesn't even include the clients.

There are some pretty bad people in this country.

I would love to ask such people *why* they agree with what he says and really dig deep into that sort of thinking.

Me too. And I would be willing to listen without judgment because I know their grappling with an answer might enlighten them somewhat, and I wouldn't have to say anything. However, few would agree to be questioned.

Truly scary. People who study the intracies of law and how to make argumentation are swayed by a 6th grade potty-mouth who uses childish nicknames and stomps his feet. The courtroom appears to be the only place in the US where facts matter. Though if Trump is elected, that institution will also either degrade or become irrelevant.

I would like this 100 times if I could.

Its a certain type of person who buys into this. I call it the Matt Gaetzifcation of America. I work with a lot of Matt Gaetz types; the sort of person who hates on Affirmative Action yet only got into their college because their Dad went there. The sort of person who says openly that they will leave America and move to some foreign country where, and I quote, "Taxes are low and Chicks are easier".

I wish I were making this up.

Love this: "the sort of person who hates on Affirmative Action yet only got into their college because their Dad went there". More narcissistic projection.
