I'd Be So Embarrassed To Be Seen At A Trump Rally.....

I'm watching all the hub hub around Trump's rally today and am seeing all the people lining up to attend and listening to the comments that they are making when being interviewed by the MSM. I'm totally blown away at the blinding stupidity of the people that attend these rallies.

First I wouldn't attend such a rally and I can't understand why the people that do attend aren't mortified being seen at such a rally. Truly embarrassing on their part - yet they flaunt their presence.

Don't they realize how the majority of Americans feel about them? Don't they realize that we laugh at them? Don't they realize that they are being characterized as cultists?

In some ways I feel sorry for them. One day they will wake up and realize that they were conned in a big way and they were being taken advantage of. When that realization hits them - they're in for a shock.

They hate Liberals and Democrats. They don't care about how we feel about them. They may never "wake up and realize that they were conned."

In short, Ms. Clinton was correct: They are deplorable.

On MSNBC say she liked Trump because he doesn't lie.

Do you think that dolt will ever admit she was wrong?

Trump's the hero of the stupid.

They see him as the racist fighter they desire to speak on their behalf. They care about nothing else. They will only turn on him if he suddenly stops being the racist asshole he has been his entire life. That will not be happening.

Trump has an extensive record of paying people to go to his little Nurembergs. For some reason, that question never comes up in the stand up interviews with these alleged supporters.

why hasn't MSM commented or reported on this? Talk about 'fake news' and 'fake polls' - now we have 'fake Rally attendees'. All brought to you through the courtesy of Donald J. Trump.

She has totally bought into the myth that the GOP is the party of God & conservatism & that the libs want to take her money & give it to lazy minorities who don't work. She's not into politics & just goes by what she wants to believe. I think there are a ton of voters just like her. The truth about Trump's lack of character & integrity was out there for anyone who wanted to make an informed vote.

We haven't talked since Trump.

can't even look at them on tv. In person, I'd be worried for my safety. I'd probably blow a valve, and go off on someone. Not enough meds in the world to tolerate that sh*t.

I think many will go back into said swamp when he’s out of office and become non-voters again. That’s my hope anyway lol.

Past ego for that to happen. Trumpsters don't have large souls. They're guided by ego, self, materialism. Don't worry about feeling uncomfortable. Worry if you didn't!
