What's so surprising?
Reader comment on item: MEF's Surprising Straw Poll on Trump
Submitted by Leon Kushner (Canada), Apr 10, 2016 at 16:01
Most Trump supporters have very legitimate concerns about the world today and see his policies as intelligent answers to them despite many loud mouth PC types in both democratic and republican camps shouting him down. Unlike myself, most Trump supporters are working class folk who have no time or inclination to be polled, surveyed or respond on their most unspoken issues which only Trump seems to address, to internet blogs or email. So don't be so surprised if Trump is our next president. I do hope he will be!
