“The Daily Show” hosted a group of voters likely to support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday night’s episode with a simple goal: to find out why they support the real estate mogul.
Correspondent Jordan Klepper was “looking for that line” where his supporters would leave him. He couldn’t find that line – even after asking about a potential database for Muslims and Jews.
“I think what everyone is overlooking though is Trump has brought this to the forefront. Maybe it was crude, maybe a lot of us don’t agree with that position, but what he has done is everyone’s talking about it,” one participant said.
Another participant said, “Negative attention sometimes is a good thing. It’s better than no attention at all.”
Watch the clip, from Comedy Central, below:
If negative attention is better than none, why isn’t Jeb ! doing better? I guess he meant negative as in xenophobic. The bigots love that hate. Trump is willing to sell anything even though he really doesn’t care about any of it.
Jesus Christ, these people want a racist, substance-less, egotistical billionaire troll leading the free world, and their response when asked why amounts to “uuuhhhhhh, because, like, uhhhh, he says crazy things and stuff and like reasons.”
If America ever fails, look at these people. They’d be why.
Me (a disabled American) to Those People in that group: Fuck you! Some of the best people I’ve ever met in my 50 years on this planet were Jewish, Muslims, disabled, Chinese, Mexicans, and on and on. Fuck each and every single one of you. You are, by far, what is wrong with this nation. I just hope we can contain you fucks.
One hundred “Likes” for that statement.
One observation of Trump supporters: They are angry white people (mostly men) who couldn’t pass 9th grade US History and like my dog they believe negative attention is better than no attention.
Gee, I wonder which World War came about as a result of a wild talking charismatic leader who fed the people white racist Nationalism? Two guesses and the 2nd one doesn’t count!
People - please start reading books and stop listening to right wing talk radio and Fox news for just 30 days. Then come back and report what you learned.
Ciao.
