That is really the only thing that may discourage his followers from voting for him. They think he is a champion of people like them. If they see proof that he cheats people like them then they may turn on him.
Trump followers don't care about the foul language or him being politically incorrect. They care about their finances. They want to know how Hillary will fix Obamacare and her plan about jobs.

Best thing is to get Clinton elected, give her the best Congress possible, and get some shit done.

(13 posts)If he really wanted to Make America Great Again, he could have started with treating the people right that work for him and paying them appropriately. I really don't understand how these Trump supporters think that he will help them, when he has not done much for his employees.

(2,056 posts)And don't even know about how many contractors or people from Trump University that he's cheated. The only reason Trump is doing OK in the Rust Belt is because they think he will be good for jobs and the economy. Now that everyone is paying attention it's important to bring this up. It's been overshadowed by the sexual assault stuff and his male supporters don't care as much about that but they are more likely to care about the cheating people out of hard earned money.

(2,056 posts)I'm in a battleground state and I have not seen it. All ads are geared towards women and him attacking other groups. None of the ads running now really speak to men or conservatives that aren't solidly behind Trump. Many people don't start paying attention until the debates. His ripping people off has NOT been highlighted enough. This topic is one that matters to white guys.

(14,565 posts)Tonight I watched the CNN 2-hour specials on Hillary and Trump for the first time. When the segment aired regarding how many people and small companies Trump screwed when the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City went out of business in the '90s, I wondered why Hillary hadn't used that theme in an ad campaign. The show said they received pennies on the dollar. I'm sure some of them would be more than willing to come forward and detail.
