Trump supporters in S. Carolina: ‘We’re voting with our middle finger’

Robert Bowers, a 50-year-old debt collector, conceded that Donald Trump may have gone "overboard just a little bit" when he attacked President George W. Bush, saying he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and failed to stop the Sept. 11 attacks.

But that did not stop Bowers, of Fountain Inn, S.C., from putting on a cap with Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan and walking through an icy cold parking lot so he could crowd into a raucous Trump rally Monday night.

"He's not a polished politician," Bowers said, neatly summing up both Trump's appeal and liability.

There is a real anger and a real sense out there that the system has failed America; unfortunately after years of conditioning by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and their ilk, a substantial number of people aren't able to see who the real culprits are. Some of that is racism of course, but it is depressing.

Maybe the two-party system is getting set to evolve again.
