Why would anyone vote for Donald Trump to be the President of the United States?

Why did over half of voters in the United States vote for Trump? There are many possible reasons:
  • Bernie Sanders supporters upset that Hillary Clinton stole the Democratic nomination
  • agree with Donald Trump's bigoted opinions
  • believes that the US needs a physical border for safety
  • rich and want to save on taxes
  • lost faith in US career politicians
  • belief that Trump will be the most honest option
  • agreeing with Trumps views like "dishonest biased media" or questioning vaccines
  • dislikes Hillary Clinton's past, viewpoints, or platform
  • fear of a female president
  • always votes Republican
  • (there are countless other reasons too...)

I heard many people say that they didn't know anyone who was voting for Trump. Yet, with the numbers that obviously is not true. Were Trump voters silent? Many were. I know I was. The few times I expressed my love of Bernie and my disdain of Hillary, I was verbally assaulted. Trump wasn't my top choice and I am turned off by his unfiltered bigoted mouth; however, Hillary's aggressive DNC campaign stole the presidency from the man who rightfully should have won. I held on to my thoughts quietly and then voted. Thankfully friends and family rarely read my blog.


And why did I vote for Donald Trump in the Presidential election?
  • My belief that Hillary is extremely corrupt and diabolical
  • I was furious at the DNC for rigging the primary
  • Not trusting "more of the same" 
  • Bernie Sanders was not on the ballot


Are you seriously in shock that Trump was elected president? 
This was predicted BEFORE the primaries!!

Was there an alternative? Absolutely. And, as the pre-primary polls showed, only Bernie Sanders could beat Trump. I would have voted for Bernie Sanders. And I did in the primary. But Hillary supporters were more pro-Hillary than anti-Trump. Had they truly cared about a Democrat winning the 2016 ticket they would have voted Bernie Sanders. In the Bernie Sanders vs Donald Trump scenario, Sanders would have won. Everyone knew in advance. It is amazing how ego gets in the way. Every primary vote for Hillary instead of Bernie was actually a vote for Trump. The Bernie supporters didn't just throw away their desire for change. They wanted change more than a Democrat Head or a woman. Clinton did not symbolize change. Trump became the only alternative for these voters.

The U.S. Government sold out their citizens' rights. Vote them out!!

The U.S. just signed on to fascism. Seriously. It now fits exactly by definition. If you don't know what fascism is and think that I am just throwing around a dirty word, read it. You will be in shock.
"The most ridiculous part of the TPP is that it allows multinational corporations to sue the governments they set up shop in if their profits don't match expectations, as long as they can blame it on something the government did such as a labor or environmental policy. Under such a system a company like Nike could sue the federal government for lost profits if they were to raise the minimum wage, or even if they were to not lower the wage to bring things in line with their sweatshops overseas. " -- comment from this video.

This is the list of senators who voted YES on the Fast Track of TPP/TPA.
They just sold our country. Flushed it down the drain.


Next election, vote these traitorous senators out.

It is truly disgusting what all those YES's voted for: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread1072043/pg1

The “Monsanto provision” included in the bill requires that U.S. negotiators fight for rules in trade agreements that eliminate so-called “barriers” to markets, such as the labeling of GMOs. Biotechnology companies consider that such information is unnecessary for the consumers and would have a deterrent effect on their profits, because of the numerous concerns over health and/or environment risks that people believe genetically engineered crops and foods. Currently 64 countries require genetically engineered food to be labeled, including Japan, China, Brazil, and the countries of the European Union. 
Other consumer groups have echoed DeFazio’s concerns. 
“At a time when Americans overwhelmingly want a right to know what they are buying and feeding their families, it is appalling that Congress would encourage stripping other countries of their right to label genetically engineered foods,” said Colin O’Neil, Director of Government Affairs at Center for Food Safety. “Each country has justifiably required the labeling of GE (genetically engineered) foods; the only thing that cannot be justified is why consumers in the US don’t have the same right to know as consumers in 64 other countries around the world.”

In case you think all the senators were listed, they weren't. Our ethical politicians were in the minority. Want to know who you should be voting for and against? Easy, here is the breakdown by vote:



Only the NAYS are worthy of staying in office. They voted their conscience.

Don't forgive any politician who voted YEA. The YEA votes do not care about America's future. Were they bribed, threatened, or too apathetic to bother reading it?
Our founding fathers would be horrified and ashamed.
Mussolini would be proud.
