11% to 14% of Trump voters were Obama supporters

[_DoubtingThomas]

"Estimates of the number of such voters range from 6.7 to 9.2 million, far more than enough to provide Trump his Electoral College victory"

The good news is that Ossoff (D) is winning Georgia. The election in Georgia is on Jun 20, please share.

I have no reason to doubt that. A good question would be why? Trump has always been a sexist, racist, perverted, demagogic, cad. I don't understand his appeal to people who ostensibly are not.

My favorite breakdown of the Trump voters who were Obama supporters is that a very large percentage of them thought Clinton was the candidate of wealthy interests whose policies would primarily benefit the wealthy while Trump was the candidate most likely to promote middle class / working class economic interests through policy.

Imagine the information diet and reasoning powers you must have to think that.

Why should we share?

I think we're suppose to share that someone is winning an election that hasn't happened yet.

Trump spent a a great deal of time as a Democrat, which explains the sexism, racism, perversion, etc

becoming a Republican is perhaps his shot at redemption for all the self-involved years as a dem

It's nice to share?

No wonder he switched parties. He went where he'd be accepted for who he is.

It's only nice if the human is developmentally ready to share. Otherwise you thwart their ability to develop empathy and that, my friend, is how we get sociopaths and only children.

It is an outright lie that his once being a Democrat had anything to do with Trump's sexism, racism and perversion, but I'm glad that you acknowledge that he indeed has those undesirable traits. You do at least acknowledge that they are undesirable, don't you?

No wonder he switched parties. He went where he'd be accepted for who he is.

I couldn't agree more with Schmo on that point. The sad thing is that the Republican party was not always that way, and, I'm sure, most rank and file Republicans still aren't that way. It saddens me greatly that the Republican friends and relatives who I know and love have let themselves be duped into voting for Trump and the current coterie of Republican leaders who support and enable him.
