Who is actually voting for Hillary?

[Sword of the Lord]

Not literally looking for people to say "me" or "I am."

Here's the thing. We see all these polls where she is destroying him. But everywhere I go, I mostly only hear people supporting Trump. On Facebook it's all Trump. Any town I'm in I only see Trump signs, Trump bumper stickers, etc. I mostly only hear people calling Clinton a crooked witch. You would have no idea that Clinton is leading the polls. Where the bleep is all this supposed support?

Maybe you only see Trump support because the people you tend to hang out with are Trump supporters? Make a few non Trump supporting FB friends and I'm sure you'll see plenty of support for Hillary.

Well, we do kind of self select our FB friends and real life friends too. I only know one person who might vote for Trump, he is very conservative but also is very helped by medical marijuana and Clinton is seen as the candidate most friendly to medical marijuana users.

Did you miss the rest of the post? FB was one example.

That doesn't explain really only seeing Trump signs and stickers and hearing Trump support and Clinton bashing everywhere I go.

Did you miss the rest of mine? It's called "selection bias". If you spend your time hanging around Trump supporters, don't be surprised to see Trump support. Go for a drive to your nearest majority democrat electorate and see if it's any different.

I've only seen one Trump sticker and never seen a Trump sign. I do think some parts of the country are more diverse politically than others. When I lived in West Texas, we had a George Bush childhood museum nearby, and I would expect that if I was there now if see more Trump signs.
Here, unions are important, and seen as a positive thing in the lives of the miners that make up a big part of the workforce, both currently and historically. So despite being a very Catholic area, and an area with a high concentration of gun owners, we tend liberal. Lots of Sanders stickers and signs still around, slowly being replaced by Clinton signs...maybe not as enthusically but the local Sanders supporters, including myself, are mostly in the Clinton camp. Little to no visible Trump support.

The media trying to steer the "sheep". They want to influence what they lost

Most of the people in my state are supporting Trump, too, but there are lots of little oases of progressivism where I can go to renew my faith in the human race and refresh my soul.

Sometimes when you are surrounded by people who don't share your values you just need to take comfort where you can find it.

I live in central Illinois and mostly go from Bloomington to Kankakee to Joliet to Peoria. Also go to Indy to see my dad.

Who will vote for her?

People who are Pro-Abortion will vote for her because she's Pro-Abortion.

And low information voters will vote for her because the MSM told them to.

the gay community and their supporters will also vote for her.
and people who have a need to themselves be popular, or be "on the winning side" will vote for her.
Those are the same people who will be swayed by the polls because they appear to predict a win for Hillary.
and having been swayed, they will in turn help to bring about that win that is not even yet a done deal.
The 'what's-in-it-for-me' generation will vote for her because she epitomizes the wealth and success that they want to have.

and so long as she keeps her mouth shut and let's the press do the PR work for her, no one will be any the wiser.

Having done my share of campaign work, it's a long established truism that assuming the talk on the street is representative of what is going on is likely to fool you. Polls can also fool you. But when the all of the polls say one thing and your interaction with people around you says something different, be careful about assuming the polls are all wrong.
I know nobody was talking about polls here, I'm just suggesting they give a broader, more scientific sample than people you happen to run into.

Interesting. I live in VA and my buddy lives in MD and we were commenting the other day how we see no signs or bumper stickers at all this cycle. Some local candidate signs but not many of them. I don't hear any political talk and I'm on public transit for 5 hours a day.

That's exactly right. In the meantime, she brings nothing new to the table.

She did say she supports raising the minimum wage, but that's not something done on a federal level -its a state by state issue. So she's just full of baloney is all.

Did you notice that wherever liberals have been in power the cost of living is sky-high?

Not quite. The Fair Labor Standards Act sets the minimum wage. States and cities can go higher but not lower.

Also true, even though there's nothing left to accomplish for the gay community, and the 'what's in it for me' generation can only recieve their handouts on a State level, not from Hillary as a president.

...So her whole campaign is based on ideals, which she cannot accomplish. Her followers are being lied to.

I'm curious now at what her "plan" is. If she has one.
