Trump is likeable and naturally good at public speaking. Hillary Clinton is angry, bitter, nasty and patronising.
Clinton is a career politician, part of the establishment, who has benefited from being married to a former President. Trump is a businessman who has entered politics late in life; he's therefore seen as one of the people rather than part of the establishment.
As with the UK when polls often underestimate the Conservative vote, many right-wing people keep their voting intentions quiet. Many Trump supporters and voters didn't say they were backing him because many other people would have branded them racist, sexist etc.

Millions of women voted for him, so they clearly prefer him over Hillary Clinton.

He's on trial in december for child rape.. So y'know he's a bit of a cunt. Also, He's anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion (thinks women should be punished for getting one and wants to make it illegal) and also wants to fund gay conversion therapy.
Also, yes females voted for him (only 42% compared to Clintons 54%) so yeah millions may have voted, but MORE women voted clinton.
Also, 53% of people who voted trump were 65+ because they're still stuck in the past and their shitty mindset (they're gonna die out soon and not be affected by this what so ever) But those people's votes who really matter, the younger generation 55% voted for Clinton over trump.
It's public knowledge, he's on trial for fraud and child rape. It's literally everywhere.
It starts on December 16th.
Doesn't change the fact that he was still accused of child rape, and rape as well as proudly admitting 'it's okay to grab a woman by the pussy' He's a piece of shit. Granted, Clinton isn't much better.
Imo people who have criminal cases against them shouldn't be able to run for president
Yes Steve is being a tad annoying but that is a bit too harsh.

Mainly because I want those laws.
Because I am a European citizen, because I believe bringing us closer is what we need not wedging us further apart.
On Trump my objection is more to his person. He's an absolutely vile man with no regard for anyone who isn't a white male. That's why I'm so upset. Because the rights of women, religious minorities and Lgbt+ are in danger.
I don't think that America's new government will introduce laws against things such as abortion or homosexual sex, or bar all Muslims from entering the US. A lot of what Trump said was rhetoric and his personal opinion. He won't be changing America single-handed and he'll want to have good relations with other countries.
Like I said, people who have criminal cases against them, or have criminal convictions should not be allowed to run for president.
Wanting to deport illegal immigrants is common sense, not racism.
He is a narcissist, but so is Hillary Clinton.
He won't do anything to jeopardise America's position as the world's most powerful country. He has a large team of people working for him and he's a very successful businessman. He knows what he's doing.
Steve, Trump may be a successful business man but he has had NO experience in politics. He is one twisted and horrible guy - just watch the news, look at all the people rioting, that shows the real strength of american people. He even wants to get rid of obamacare which makes healthcare more affordable for those who are not fortunate enough to be able to afford it. TRUMP IS SHIT AND SHOULD BE KILLED, END OF CONVERSATION.

Riots aren't strength - they're destructive criminality.
But at the end of the day DONALD TRUMP IS A HORRIBLE PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!

Also, he's not getting rid of obamacare, he's going to go through it and make changes but not completely get rid of it. A lot of the things we here on the news isn't true.
However, he has got rape accusations piling up against him into double figures, which is awful and his general attitude towards women is awful.
I know that both parties are evil, but the media has only shown us the worst of Trump
He's not homophobic. Not wanting SSM doesn't amount to hatred.
Mike Pence's beliefs are more troubling than Trump's, but there's much less coverage of those.
Yeah but he's assuming that ALL mexicans are criminal, which simply isn't true.
What would his reason be for not wanting SSM if it isn't hatred may I ask? Just out of curiosity?
Many people oppose SSM on religious grounds, due to it being pointless, unnecessary and making a mockery of marriage. Personally, I'm puzzled as to why there's a demand for it - marriage has been rapidly declining in popularity for over 40 years. In the UK, the number of marriages is about half what it was at its peak in 1972 - despite a large increase in the population since then. Most people don't marry, so why is it even an issue?
Many people don't think that single people should be allowed to adopt children. That doesn't mean that they hate single people. It's that they simply think that children should be given two parents.
