They believe he's got enough money himself so doesn't need to make deals with wall street etc.
More fool them.

The women want a real man to grab their pussy.
Would be nice to have twitter only thread to read the responses of the masses on this.
I guess party loyalty would definitely be part of it. Not sure on the last part of your post, some might want that but don't know about 'plenty'.
His first speech this morning was praising Hilary. I know it's what should be done, but how can someone that has been so venomous and personal so recently try and give her so much credit for service to the country? A bit of continuity at least, please.
There's surely no way Sanders would have won an election in America being that far left leaning.
There are plenty of women who would sell their souls to be married to a rich man, let alone the president of the USA
I am pretty sure about 'plenty'. The idea of conquering a billionaire husband and becoming first lady is tempting to say the least.
Personally, I believe that it's about empathy, for most women Clinton isn't the archetype of a good wife, good mother and they can't get behind her.
Well we'll agree to disagree on that. But even so, is that still really a justification for voting for Trump? 'I wish I could be his wife, here's a vote'
Its not, but we don't live in a world where all people do justifiable things
EDIT: In fact we live in a world where many do the opposite.
They haven't put greed in the equation then. No one wants to put his own money in, doubt Trump is different. He'll service wall street interest as much as any other candidate would, given how well connected he's there.
Well no but that was before it was down to just her and Trump.
Watching some of the debate highlights, it seemed to me like Hilary let him get off lightly. Particularly following the sexist remarks that came out.
How embarrassing being the candidate that lost to Donald Trump.

So many questions.
Will woman be able to have an abortion a year from now?
What'll happen to the Paris agreement?
And minimum wage, will that go up, or will it stay low to "make sure business owners can afford to create new jobs"?
How will he help the national debt by lowering the taxes as much as he plans?
Will the relationship with Russia improve?
Will healthcare for all be binned at first chance?
I just cross my fingers that half of what he was saying was figure of speech to create some heat and debate. And that he becomes as moderate as most other NY republicans.

It quite clearly isn't that. Are you saying this because you're hurting that Hillary lost ?
DNC would have walked this election if they had selected almost anyone else but Hillary.
Evidently so.
Which, in my opinion, is stupid. She may not be as warm & loving as some expect women to be, but that's more of a societal issue. There isn't (or there shouldnt be) an "archetype" of a good wife or mother.
Her husband cheated on her, their whole private life was out in the open for the world to see and ridicule, and yet they've managed to make their marriage work. Raised a successful daughter, and have managed to juggle jobs that most men wouldn't be able to handle.
She's devoted her life to her family & politics, how that paints her in a negative light is beyond me. Yes she's stiff, yes she shouldn't dab, but she's a politician, none of them should. Obama was about as cool as we're going to get, and honestly even as a black guy his rhythm is suspect.
Welcome to democracy. Every vote is equal and you have to win the masses, which inevitable decide who should reign. If you leave the decision to the well informed, educated and so forth - well that's no democracy
Well, if a real estate guy becomes president, why not a fashion businesswoman? I think he indicated that she might be part of government in an earlier interview.
I'm happy I don't have a Twitter account. Place must be on RAWK-levels of meltdown right now.I would imagine it is because he talks to the traditional American psyche on a number of levels i.e. repealing most of what Obama tried to achieve.
I think a lot of voters simply don't believe the sexual assault allegations full stop and brush off the casual misogyny he openly displays.
At the end of the day the election was a binary choice. For most voters it seemed to be a choice of the lesser of two evils.
As a kid I remember plenty of women saying, I'll vote for Chirac because he is handsome.
May & Trump!

For the love of Mr.Trump, you know what I meant.
And I'm too lazy to work out how to find tweets and whom to follow and all that stuff. Never had an account.
Of course, and I can buy that some may vote for frivolous reasons. But I am skeptical that the majority of the white female voters did so. Or maybe I am overestimating the intellectual levels/care that they had.Welcome to democracy. Every vote is equal and you have to win the masses, which inevitable decide who should reign.

That is very much how it feels, right now.
I'm saying that because America has elected an openly misogynist candidate over a much more qualified female candidate.
Democracy
I think this is the saddest thing for me...(from the beeb)
I mean what an arsehole. What a complete arsehole. In a nutshell that tells you everything about him and the people that voted for him. Selfish.
I know you're joking but I think that a lot of that sort of silliness at US Universities and on social media contributed in no small part to Trump winning.
I agree but voters aren't exactly pragmatic, they have bastions and stand by them at all costs.
You make some fair points but there is a massive school of thought that she capitalised on her husband's infidelities to garner sympathy and to use them as collateral for her own ends. But all that pales into comparison wth her involvement in Libya and the ruminations about the Clinton Foundation, especially using her charity's money to pay for her daughter's wedding.
Sometimes there's no grand reason behind it really. As others mentioned there could be thousands of reasons why one should vote for the other. Then there's voting for the party regardless of who the candidate is - which IMO is the most probable reason.
The misogynist line was a blank bullet when Bill Clinton stuck a cigar up a womans pussy and then lied on national tv about it.
Why are they still talking about the white, black, latino etc. vote?? Should it really matter at the end of the day? I must say that Ann Coulter was vile today. I stayed up all night to watch the proceedings and am just as dumb-founded as with the Brexit outcome here in the UK. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face!
After the dust and euphoria has settled, Trump will soon get found out and there will be lot of unhappy yanks. I don't think he spouted any promises that he can actually follow through.
Still no sign of Hillary yet??

Yeah I accept the loyalty line of thinking, I think that is a fair assessment.
Quite possibly but can you blame us for fearing white men in America are as horrendous as we have just found out they are?
I vividly remember myself playing in the living room with my construction trucks while my parents were watching the news, when I heard it I freezed and looked at the screen with disbelief. Even for a kid it makes no sense.Democracy
I feel a bit more calm. I don't think he himself will end up being that bad.
Where it'll really hurt? The fact that Republicans hold Congress, the Presidency, and a lot of Local government. With that, and the Supreme Court justices who will be appointed, it will not be good.
