I know four people who are going to vote for Trump, and I don't know that many people. They all have different reasons. Here are the reasons I have heard: I don't like anyone who is a Washington insider, so I'll vote for Sanders if he wins the nomination.Otherwise I will vote for Trump. I am going to vote for Trump, because he has the ideal life and I want to be like him. I am Asian but no one has ever discriminated against me, so I think white people (and Asian people like me) are the best people, and I hate and fear black people, unless they are not "too" black, like Obama, so I will vote for Trump because he is such a good role model and will keep us safe. (This blindness to anti-Asian racism is a Hawaiian specialty.) I am an old white man in poor health who needs a lot of help from the government, but I have earned it, and Trump will not take my entitlements away. He will get after the lazy layabouts, the "takers," and punish them, so that's why I'm voting for Trump. I'm trying to figure out a consistent pattern here, but the sample is too small.
