You know the type. The person you know who screws up everything they touch: they fail and fail and fail and fail and usually have a bucket-full of excuses as to why. They fail at marriages, relationships, parenthood, school, sports and jobs. It just seems like Trump is an outlet for these folks.
Yes, I know, there are a few celebrities and a handful of successful people for Trump.
But anyway, it seems like his rank and file supporters fit the loser category.

(4,797 posts)But he certainly has a way of tapping into a lot of people's unfocused anger. Anyone who is unhappy with their own life is going to want to find someone or something to blame. Trump gives them that and that's a big part of why he is popular. Look at his message: it's all about how Mexicans, Muslims and liberals are ruining things for "real Americans".

(2,003 posts)Who are life's winners voting for? Those people for whom life is just peachy, not a worry in the world. Who is their candidate of choice?
Because as far as I can tell, there's no one running on the "Everything is Awesome!" ticket (although there's more than a few 1%'ers who'd like to stay there).
