Trump Has Successful Supporters

You'll be surprised and maybe alarmed to know there is a huge segment of the base of both parties that Trump is tapping into. I want you to know that Trump supporters are not just the lunatic fringe or angry people looking to join a movement or blow off steam. I continue to read these kind of articles and I come away thinking you don't realize the scope of the growing support out there for Trump

I'm a conservative Republican who has been actively involved in Politics for 25 years. I truly love America. In my view, this country is going in the wrong direction and is in real trouble. Here are my concerns: the debt; the economy; radical Islamic terrorism; illegal immigration; creating a simpler, fairer tax code that includes all Americans paying taxes, not just 50% of us; preserving social security; reducing entitlement and welfare programs; protecting religious freedoms; and supporting and keeping strong our military. Neither side will seriously address these issues and get done the positive things that we need to get done.

I'm a college graduate, I have a Family, I work in an executive-level management position for a Fortune 500 company and I'm a homeowner. What I think you may find interesting is that I have a circle of friends, both men and women, who have similar concerns and backgrounds. We are all employed with excellent careers and we all are supporting Trump for President. We love how Trump unabashedly trumpets how he loves America and wants to make America great again. Second, he's not politically correct.

Political correctness is a main reason why America is in trouble because it is a grind and so draining to be so politically correct everyday in our personal and professional lives.

The sensitivity is over the top and counter productive.

Third, Trump does have the experience, the intellect and the leadership credentials. I realize the points you were trying to make in your article, however, you are totally discounting any positive attributes that Trump has. Fourth, none of us are perfect, I have changed my mind on positions, I have had failed relationships, I have not always been so successful in my career. We are all human and flawed, and it just seems that it's easier for the haters to focus on the negative and not the totality of the Man, who like it or not has built an amazingly successful company and a beautiful Family. And I'm ready to give Trump a chance.
