How many people will vote for Trump because "he seems like a guy I'd like to have a beer with"?

[Rocknrule]

Or for a similarly shallow, petty reason?

2000 and 2004 taught me to never underestimate the stupidity of American voters. A lot of people support the guy because "he tells it like it is" or whatever, and don't seem to realize that a presidential candidate needs to be held to a much higher standard than someone running for Howard Stern's job.

1. Wouldn't matter whether they want to or not

Donald Trump doesn't drink alcohol.

But that's not why he's an idiot.

[safeinOhio]

2. Must be a

Secret Muslum.

[unblock]

3. supposedly shrub didn't drink alcohol either.

that didn't stop them talking about his as exactly that, someone you'd like to have a beer with.

my guess was always that was why he liked soup so much -- they spiked his for him so he wouldn't be seen "drinking". there were also several times where he was oddly mia for several days. my guess is, on a bender.

9. Yeah, I'd forgotten that about Shrub (n/t)

[Frank Cannon]

21. I always suspected his frequent long vacations...

were either attempts to sober him up or opportunities to let him get as shitfaced as he wanted for as long as he wanted, safely out of the public eye before he had to return and be all Presidential.

Remember that he took one long vacation just prior to 9-11, and it wasn't long after that we had the infamous pretzel incident.

10. It would be yet another disappointment to his base.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Maybe he should.

It could only be an improvement.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

4. He's a guy I'd like to pour a beer on. Does that count? N.T.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I would hate to have a beer with Trump.

He strikes me as the person who corners you at a dinner party, starts talking to you about himself and doesn't shut up or let you get a word in edgewise.

You can't even claim that he's likeable like that.

[smirkymonkey]

19. I don't think there is such a thing as having one beer with Trump.

You would have to get sloppy drunk to even tolerate the man.

[Different Drummer]

6. The reason I've heard the most from people...

who currently are planning to vote for him is, "He says what I'm thinking."

[world wide wally]

12. That is just another way of saying, "I'm a racist idiot too"

[C_U_L8R]

7. Trump drinks beer through a gold plated straw

So he won't mess up his Cheeto makeup powder

[mountain grammy]

8. No, I disagree. People like Trump

because he makes them feel ok about their irrational fears and hatred.

[Different Drummer]

11. ^^^^This.^^^^

[Uponthegears]

13. With all due respect

Who the f**k in their right mind would want to have a beer with Trump?

[Different Drummer]

14. ...

[LisaL]

15. He supposedly doesn't drink.

So no one is going to have a beer with him.

[ileus]

16. They'll be disappointed since he doesn't drink...jokes on them.

[Skittles]

17. who the fuck would want to have a beer with that entitled, naricissistic asshole?

besides other assholes

[Dorian Gray]

20. He doesn't drink

so that would be very very very stupid.
