money

Who's money and how ?

The fact that I absolutely despised Obama policies and all groups he helped to create and purpetuate...blm for example. There was no way I was going to vote for anyone that didn't absolutely disagree with the democratic socialist agenda. Trump was my only choice from day 1. Bush, Cruz, Rubio, , everyone but Ben Carson I could not fathom and even carson was too soft for the fight that needed to be brought.

The media should do a survey of the trump voters. They would see that no meme or article mattered to us, it was the constant destruction of the constitution, family, race relations, ethics and morals that did them in.

The spoon fed propaganda from the left and the right.

8) What Clinton did in the past

Nuff said .

meme magic

I think the Dem's underestimated the mood of the working person. Not putting energy into states like Ohio and taking them for granted hurt.

7 & 8.
Just a glimps a Killery's past should have sent people running.
I truly thought Trump was a shill put in place to give Killery the election.
I really wanted Paul to be the nominee.
Looks like I may have been wrong. After so many years I can finally say I was wrong about something.
Well, once in 44 years ain't so bad I guess.

I'll go real fast here, outa time so I apologise for being brief.

The single biggest from your list was, in a sense, what Clinton said about herself..........in a way, that is. What I'm saying is that to be fair, I watched some Hilary speeches and visited her web site and that truly caused me to doubt her mental integrity. Not to say I came away with the impression she was insane, but rather that she had either somewhat lost it or was losing it. To me at least she came across as being mentally unstable and unpredictable.

As a result of watching, her own line came back to haunt my impression of her, i.e., who do you want in the WH when the emergency call comes in at 3:00 in the morning. No way did I want her in that situation.

Media hatred of Trump.

Clinton using violent agitators at opponents rallies and events.

Lying.

What Clinton has done in the past and is capable of in the future, guided my vote. I am not a Trump lover, but I have agreed with most of his actions. I just wish he would stay off of twitter. Perhaps he will earn my vote next time too.

It was Russia. Made me love Trump. Still do.

It is like a reality show, its all about he said she said bs...

Not 1 of those reasons on youre list are about politics, so have to go along with media - they made it a reality show, and we all know that reality shows have nothing to do with actual reality...

It amazes me how people just swallow all that bs! Last election in my country, it dawned on me that it doesnt matter who wins, when the media after a debate, treated the whole think like it was a boxing match. NOT ONCE, did any politic get mention, it was all about who looked strongest, who did best (they asked like 10 different people, who they thought won the "match") it is not about politics anymore, it is only about the person and how many bad sides that person has (no good sides are shown in this circus)

Media is to blame, now who owns the media?? must be russia




ETA: Just realized you did have a small part in the 2 last questions, which could be about politics

9) What Trump *might* do in the future if elected
10) What Clinton *might* do in the future if elected

But the point is still true, the politics doesnt matter anymore - freedom is dying!

I would add as most important:

The "anybody but Hillary" vote.

It's a shame that we didn't have a better alternative, but the anti Hillary feeling would have elected Mickey Mouse if necessary.
