Exit Polls Show Republicans Feel Betrayed by Party

Exit Polls Show Republicans Feel Betrayed by Party

https://politicalwire.com/2016/03/15/exit-polls-show-republicans-feel-betrayed-by-party/

"SNIP..............



“Voters in Tuesday’s contests expressed worries about the economy and a broad sense among Republicans that their party has betrayed them, according to early exit poll results,” CNN reports.

“As voters continued heading to the polls in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, early polling showed bipartisan concern about both the economy and access to jobs. Republicans continued the trend of saying they felt betrayed by their party, but only about a third or more Republican voters in the five states said they were angry with the federal government.”

To be betrayed means someone had to have shown some sort of loyalty or concern prior to this....

Oh, well, I shed no tears for those racist fuckwits.

that is kind of amazing, considering the anti-government propaganda, and plus of course the fact that Obama is currently president.

Well guess what, Drumphy Boy is lying to you, too, and is also going to screw you.

Get a freaking clue. Vote for America - not for freaking anti-American, Screw-the-dumb-Proles Repubes.
