Trump's Support Deeper Than It Looks

Donald Trump has cooled down since the start of the primaries but thats not to fool anyone on how he is still perceived. Trump is apparently a hate or love guy. It seems like everyone hates him, you hear all the time that latinos hate him, blacks hate him, women hate him and even most whites hate him, so where is all his support coming from them? Most republicans would say they would be satisfied if Trump was the Republican nominee even if he wasn't their first choice. Trump supporters stem from college students who understand that if Trump was president he wouldn't focus on little things such as making a joke and having it be offensive to someone like we see today, nowadays if you make a joke you have to walk on egg shells, its kind of a lead by example moment, when trump says something that may offend people he just doesn't back down.Trump doesn't believe students should get thrown out of school for throwing parties like many school administrators do in this newer culture. The older people of america which a lot of them are liberal but also were born in an era when it wasn't popular to be kind to the other races, may agree with the things trump has to say about illegal immigrants. The New York Post says 70% of americans hate Donald Trump, so explain to me how trump won all the primaries, I understand its a system and not a winner take all ordeal but he must be liked by more than 30% if he's been rolling over everyone thus far. Trump is also getting some support from some of his peers after they drop out expect for the ones he verbally attacked like Jeb Bush and Cruz if he doesn't win the Republican nomination. I understand that getting support from one politician to another is "politics" and it may not be 100% sincere but it still means something right?

This year more people have turned out to vote in Republican primaries than ever before in our history. They have done so for a simple reason, they believe that America will be great again. The media tries to make excuses for his success, prior to the presidential race Trump was a celebrity, an entertainer, he knows how to play the media and gain their attention in favor of him. In Trumps case any publicity is good publicity, he understands the more he's on TV the more people are going to rationalize what he's saying. I personally don't believe someone who's never been in public office should be president, Trump is a real estate mogul, not a politician never has been. I don't think someone who has a lot of money and assets due to his family and his fortunate success in business should be running this country. I do in fact believe it is amazing how Trump can continue to keep and gain supporters when sometimes it really does seem like its him against the world. There's still a lot of time to go in the process but with Trump making it this far makes me doubt that anything can stop him at this point, especially in the primaries. The general election is a entirely different story.
