Reporters, I beg you: When voters claim they have doubts about Trump’s personality but support “his policies,” ask one simple question:
Which policies?
The stammering will be more interesting than anything they have to say.

They support his stance on immigration, abortion, the war on Christmas/Christians, wokeness, communism, trans people, antifa, and whatever other bogeymen they've heard about on Fox or OANN. They don't care about actual policy, they just care that he's "their guy."
To be fair, he has a tough stance on immigration, and he's a good bet to beat the liberals if you feel strongly against the open border policy the left is espousing. There's plenty of other woke nonsense that could inspire someone to oppose the libs at all costs.
I'm not a Trumper; I'm a moderate liberal that's tired of losing because of idiotic identity politics and the righteous brigading that alienates anyone who doesn't fall in lockstep.
Re-evaluate your news sources, 'Open border policy' is a scary phrase right biased publications created themselves and are calling any border policy that doesn't involve the wall being completed. The left isn't calling for that, It's a strawman for people that don't know the actual border policies.
Could you explain to me what woke even means?
I'm actually generally in favor of open borders, and the Democrat Party position is way far from that. And even though I'm in favor, I don't think we should jump to it right away, just increase immigration quotas and simplify the work visa system. Basically, if you can prove you can earn your own way, you can come and work.
Democrats want a path toward a visa for people who are already here. Many of those people didn't come by choice, they were brought by their parents, and they have more connections here than where they have citizenship.
Republicans want to be tough on immigration because there's this idea that it's somehow related to drug crime. That's stupid, but there it is.
I think immigrants add a ton of value to our economy and generally make our country great, and I want more of it. Democrats and Republicans want to maintain what we have, they just have different methods of going about it.
Obama and Biden have both deported more illegal immigrants in a single term than Trump did in his one term. Biden has shattered the record for most deportations ever.
Sorry, what was that about border security again? Trump has a "tough stance"? Seems like he can't back it up with anything other than fake promises for a wall that won't do shit anyway.
obvious troll is obvious, get a better hobby.
