Someone I've known for a while. Not openly political in conversations or social gatherings, so culled most of this from Facebook

-------------

Gender: Male.
Age: Mid-30's.
Occupation: Sells insurance or something
Marital Status: Single/engaged
Education: Some college
Ethnic Heritage: White
Political Affiliation: Tea Party type
Religion: Unknown but I suppose vaguely non-sectarian Christian of sorts. Not a regular church goer in any case
Why Trump?: Facebook feed has alot of blah blah about truth and political correctness
Misc: ALSO a lifelong WWE fan. Enjoys hockey fight videos. Has gained at least 100+ lbs in the last 5 years. Spends tons of time bleating about Obama gun-grabbing but it turns out he's now also terrified of going to a movie theater because of events like the Aurora shooting. Also seemed very rustled by Caitlyn Jenner stories throughout the past year.
01-16-2016 , 09:01 AM
Gender: Male
Age: ~2015 years old
Occupation: Unemployed and kind of a bum
Marital Status: Single, but he hangs out with prostitutes a lot
Education: Unknown, but not really a big fan of science
Ethnic Heritage: Middle Eastern white guy
Political Affiliation: Weirdo mish mash of liberal and conservative
Religion: Jewish
Why Trump?: I've asked him, but he won't talk directly to me
Misc: He's my co-pilot when I'm driving
01-16-2016 , 09:46 AM
]Gender: Male
Age: low 30s
Occupation: Assistant Golf Pro
Marital Status: Married, no children
Education: Golf scholarship Mississipi State
Ethnic Heritage: White
Political Affiliation: Republican
Religion: Not a bible thumper
How racist is he: Southern boy who says things as a joke that are pretty darn racist. He has also done a lot to help a the Jamaican family of a seasonal worker who was robbed and killed returning home. Racist by tradition with a good heart, maybe.
Why Trump? Finds him amusing best I can tell. We play poker together frequently. He isn't a great card player but is a winner. He gets the whales to the club and avoids the better players.

I can honestly say I don't know a single Trump supporter IRL.
01-16-2016 , 12:47 PM
someone who i never thought would be a trump supporter, since he has ranted to me many times over several years how much he hates trump for destroying the usfl, atlantic city, and other random stuff.

gender: male
age: 51
prev voting history: clinton, clinton, bush, bush, obama, obama.
occupation: self employed handyman, used to be an IT professional. white guy who got crushed out of the field by an overabundance of h1-b visa workers and outsourcing.
education: bachelors degree in comp sci.
marital status: married, with 2 teenagers
political affiliation: depends on the day. he is a confused soul. with the exception of his views on race/lgbt issues, he probably should live in the bernie wing of the dem party.
religion: probably a stronger atheist than me.
racist: yes, as much as i've tried to change him. "proud to be white". pretty much as racist as they come, although tightly restricted to blacks. voted for obama despite this.
lgbt: lololol. has views on gays straight out the 50's. thinks every gay guy is "checking him out" and spends every night in bathhouses.
environment: big environmentalist. fisherman who can't catch big fish anymore, and has figured out why. concerned about climate change.
other social issues: very liberal. weed/abortion/etc. big on science and education.

why trump: DESPISES hrc, but is way too liberal on many issues to even consider the rest of the gop field. bernie is a "socialist"*. when i asked "why the change on trump, you absolutely hate the guy?", he said that he "understands trump" now, and that he "can get stuff done", which to me translates as "trump is hitting the hot buttons very well". i mean, this guy HATED trump with a passion, i almost fell over when he told me he was supporting trump.

misc: when bowie died the other day, his reaction was "he's one of the weirdos who got us started on the path to caitlyn jenner".

* ties into how dirty that word is. even though the majority of his views are squarely in line with the bernie wing of the dem party, that word is full-stop for him.
01-16-2016 , 01:03 PM
Gender: Male.
Age: Mid-30's.
Occupation: Electrical Contractor
Marital Status: Married - 3 kids
Education: not sure
Ethnic Heritage: Jewish Israeli-American
Political Affiliation: probably Republican
Religion: Jewish, pretty religious
Why Trump?: Probably the anti-Islam stuff mostly. Also probably enjoys the ranting.
Misc:

---

He's the only one I know for sure. He brought it up. I expect a couple other contractors I know are Trump supporters, but I don't bring up politics with them.
01-16-2016 , 01:11 PM
I just had a 92y.o. uncle, an 84y.o. uncle and an 87y.o. aunt visiting. I know not to bring up politics bec the 92y.o. is normally calm but is a super liberal that can get really worked up. The 84y.o. and his 87y.o. wife left first and the other uncle told me that his brother would vote for TRUMP! if nominated bec he would never vote D. These two share similar life stories and have always been close. The lesson is that you never know except to expect/accept surprises.

The highlighted parts don't add up. He's not your husband, because he's single, he's not your coworker because he's unemployed, but he's your copilot when your driving. This sounds like a homophobic riddle.
01-16-2016 , 02:34 PM
Hint: he's also ~2015 years old.
01-16-2016 , 02:43 PM
Spoilered because not American.

Spoiler:
Gender: Male.
Age: Early 30s
Occupation: SME owner, in carpentry I think
Marital Status: Single.
Education: Unsure, quite possibly high school equivalent only (aka the Leaving Cert)
Ethnic Heritage: White
Political Affiliation: Soft libertarian (ie, not ACist or similar)
Religion: Presumably atheist/agnostic
Why Trump?: "He has a ton of real-world experience and will run the country like a business"
Misc: This is actually a very smart and intellectually curious guy; even aside from not being American, he doesn't fit the assumed profile. I knew he leaned right, but I was genuinely surprised to hear him express support for Trump.

Jesus, dude.
01-16-2016 , 04:12 PM
This person might vote for Cruz, but more likely Trump

Gender: Female.
Age: Around 40
Occupation: Used to work at a high level in the finance sector, now a stay at home mom
Marital Status: Married.
Education: MBA.
Ethnic Heritage: Caucasian
Political Affiliation: Hard core Republican.
Religion: Mainstream protestant
Why Trump?: Very pissed at the Republican establishment, which she believes has abandoned the voters. In other words, she pretty much toes the Rush Limbaugh line. Buys hook, line, and sinker the idea that the Republican lost twice to Obama because they nominated RINOs.
Misc: Intelligent; outdoor oriented vegan; rabid promoter of breast feeding; seems to have a lot of questionable opinions about Muslims as a group.

55ish white dude at work who said to me, "Three day weekend! The one day a year we like Martin Luther King!"
01-16-2016 , 05:44 PM
The Trump supporter I was talked to said of MLK, "he was a nice guy, but no one has to work?" "What's next, Obama holiday?"
01-16-2016 , 06:17 PM
Male

Early 60s

High school education

Blue collar government employee

Typical middle class union democrat

Highly racist/xenophobic, believes democrats left him during the 90s

Believes the government owes him everything society promised him in his 20s while at the same time thinking Mexicans and African Americans are stealing all that sweet government welfare.

Thinks Trump! will kick out all the undesirables and restore amurica to its rightful place in world dominance.

Why Trump?: "I'll tell you, in the past they NEVER would have dared touch our boats. I don't know what's happened to us." Also, racism.
Misc: A non-zero percentage of his Trump support comes from wanting to greatly anger his children and others around him, which this helps him achieve.
01-18-2016 , 01:55 AM
i know a guy who's a big republican supporter and LOVES the apprentice but he never votes and doesn't appear excited about voting for trump even lol
01-18-2016 , 03:54 AM
by the looks of this nonformal poll if trump gets elected we will have a majority of non college educated white males of about 50 years of age that are racists doing the job for him. guess that cant be as bad as the millenials and 95 % of the african-american population that got us BHO can it? just sayin
