The funny thing is that these sponsors actions are idiotic from a business point of view. Leaving race out of it altogether, there can be many potential reasons why a sponsor might want to split with a spokesperson - kiddie porn? Check. Murder? Check. - but kneeling is sure as hell isn’t one of them. From a business…

People try to make up reasons that they voted for a candidate, but a lot of them (particularly the low information voter) vote based upon gut feelings and nothing else.
I don’t understand how you can vote for Obama and then the man that tried to oust him by starting that birtherism nonsense, and who is basically a white supremacist bred by white supremacists.
People like Rose strike me as idiots. Meaning that they will vote for whoever has the most publicity during the campaign. That was Bush, Obama, and Trump during their relevant campaigns. So, she voted for them since they were thrown in her face every god damn day. And I think there are a lot of people like that.…
I think there are so many layers to this psychology. On the one hand, they will complain that the government doesn’t work. They will complain about being taxed. They will complain about “Washington” not “fixing” things - but when there’s a suggestion of government involvement in major changes (see: health care), then…
She’s a fucking idiot, but she is also probably as we speak being rushed to some sort of lab for study by political consultants, as she has voted for three winning presidents in a row who seem to have nothing in common with each other.* I’m sure they want to know what it is that Rose sees in a candidate that can give…
Trump voters who voted for Obama ONLY voted for him because Bush was such a disaster. They weren’t voting for the black man. They were voting for the “Not Bush”.
Honestly, that’s what constant badmouthing of The Government gets; people who just decide that any rando who isn’t part of “the system” is some kind of populist hero who has magical abilities to open the eyes of corrupt nations, etc. Basically if Mr. Smith Goes To Washington and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty got…
Especially after 8 years of hearing “Not My President!”
I don’t think head trauma is the culprit, I think it’s just the case that there were a lot of Obama voters were racist and therefore were not upset by Trump’s birtherism or his racist rhetoric. There were a lot of Obama admirers who saw him as someone who rose above his race to be “one of the good ones” so support…
Unfortunately, a lot of people are simply dumbfucks.
I actually hear this a lot from Trump supporters. “People aren’t giving him a chance.!” “The Democrats are obstructing him!” “they criticize everything he does!” and other garbage. They’ll still be screaming this even a year from now. Even though the GOP controls the Senate and the House it’s all the fault of…
His current words and actions are all his presidency can be judged by. His stint as a real estate magnate gave people a clue. I wonder if he was as manipulated by his inner circle then as he is now.
I think the Bush-Obama-Trump progression is telling. I think this is someone who will persistently vote for “change,” because, in their mind, “change” for the country inevitably means “good change” - like suddenly they’ll get rich and stop being temporarily embarrassed millionaires. (Not to say they’d vote for any…
“The Nazis weren’t fighting Nazis in the 1940s, guys. There were two groups.”
“hasn’t given Trump a chance”
“... what the President is doing to this country” not “... what the President is doing for this country”.
“The KKK wasn’t fighting with the KKK. There were two groups.”
Two honest questions:
1) Do you look at OWN (Her tv channel)?
