Voters

In a sequel to the Rosanne Show a person asks how anyone could ever vote for Trump after all his lies and affairs. It was 50 years ago when Ted Kennedy ran for president but was not nominated. If he had been the nominee would democrats have voted for him or would they have voted for the republican Bush? John Edwards was the leading candidate in 2007 when it was revealed that he had fathered a child by his mistress and he was forced out of the race. If he had been the candidate would the democrats have voted for McCain? Bill Clinton was elected to a second term even though his first term was filled with scandals. Even after his affair with Lewinsky was uncovered he still maintained high approval ratings. Would democrats have voted for Dole if they had known about Monica? Many people vote the party candidate because they agree with what the party stands for and if their candidate is less than desirable they can overlook the blemishes. Others vote for the candidate and they can switch parties based on what the candidate stands for. Trump attracted voters who liked his policies and many who liked his flamboyance and of course many who just wanted change. Trump is sometimes liberal and sometimes conservative and this throws regular party people into a tizzy.
