    Like Carson campaign, the Trump campaign is turning into a scam that exists to build lists to sell after loss.

    I mean, he's been built up by an array of media outlet as a successful business man and dealmaker for decades.

    16. I doubt he's voting for Trump. It's a family of Democrats. (I'm the black sheep.) But he's smack in the Trump demographic.

    15. He also was a drug addict in his 20s. Likewise his siblings. One went to jail briefly. They've struggled in all kinds of ways.

    9. They should be less bigoted. They should have had more kids and sent them to church and turned off the TV and moved etc.

    8. They can also be bigoted, as liberals say. They can also be partially responsible for state of their communities, per , others.
