I think in this election some Americans are just mad. So they are supporting Trump. It can be something simple as technology leaving them behind.

For example, people struggling in the current economy where you need to have a college degree OR find service-oriented jobs where you have to suck it up and just do the work. These people are from families in towns that were mostly manufacturing-based, so the steel mill or the car plant or whatever. It was their birth right to just graduate high school (or not) and go work at the factory on the edge of town. But that job is gone. They sit at home and listen to Republican talk radio hammer the point home that the Democrats are the devil, your job was given away.

Then they get grouped as 'the uneducated' and we mock them. it's not really their fault they're uneducated, that's how the small town is. So as I mentioned before, I get very wary when the Liberal media goes on the 'Trump people are uneducated' rampage. I can see where these people are coming from.
