| Nov 10, 2016 at 6:43 | comment | added | Celeritas | @blip I find that hard to believe. It seemed pretty certain from an objective point of view that Trump lost all of the presidential debates. I literally know 0 people who would vote for trump. | |

| Mar 8, 2016 at 12:03 | comment | added | code4life | I think it's less about Donald and more about the huge level of voter anger over politicians preferring to pursue their own agendas rather face the very, very difficult (and real) political sacrifices that need to be accepted in order to resolve the primary challenges facing us today. | |

| Mar 3, 2016 at 20:36 | comment | added | WBT | Do most of the people you know live in states that have actually held their primaries? Most states haven't. Also, are they even Republicans likely to vote in the primary? If they voted for Trump, are you the kind of person they would tell that to and expect the news to be well-received? Is there any candidate who a lot of people you know admit to voting for? | |
| Mar 3, 2016 at 14:18 | comment | added | RemcoGerlich | Possibly also because the non-Trump votes are spread out between several different candidates, and he needs a smaller percentage of the votes than usual to win. But that is just a hunch, I haven't checked. | |
| Mar 2, 2016 at 19:25 | comment | added | Aaron Hall | I've seen reports that liberals are more likely to unfollow/unfriend conservatives that they disagree with. Perhaps this holds true inside the population that votes Republican too? Perhaps you're insulating yourself in a bubble of groupthink? | |
| Mar 2, 2016 at 16:17 | comment | added | T.E.D. | I grew up in the only integrated neighborhood in a segregated city. I can remember wondering how the Republicans ever hoped to win anything, when I couldn't find a single person at my elementary school who supported them. If you can answer my question, you are well on the way to answering yours. | |
