I think everyone sees that Trump appeals to a certain type of voter. However, there are not enough of these middle aged children to get him into office. I contend that a better candidate in 2016 would have beaten Trump. I'm embarrassed for the dems that they cant find a better candidate than the anonymous VP with a dodgy record as a prosecutor who's only policy when running for office herself was that she was a black woman and thus black people should vote for her. I remember the first debate where Tulsi Gabbard took her head off. VP Harris surrounded herself with black women in every press shot. It so obvious that I was a little embarrassed for her.

As you might have gathered, I'm no fan of VP Harris and I dont give her much chance come november
