How are Republicans voting for Donald Trump?
I can’t believe the national Republican Party electorate will vote for Donald Trump to head the Republican presidential ticket. I don’t believe the poll numbers are reflective of the actual Republican voters. How would evangelicals and conservative Republicans vote for someone married three times?
Aside from his ridiculous statements (too many to mention here), he once stated, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, stated the obvious in the Republican response to the State of the Union Address: “(resist the) siren call of the angriest voices.”
She later said she was referring to Trump on the “Today” show.
Jeb! (Jeb Bush), on the debate stage, directed to Trump, “You can’t insult your way to the presidency.”
Indeed.
