Why would anyone vote for Trump?

President Trump’s promise to put conservatives like Neil Gorsuch onto the Supreme Court, is one reason why people voted for him.

When a man recently wondered why people voted for Donald Trump, he received an unsatisfactory answer after asking one person. There were many reasons people voted for Trump. I may not be able to list them all here.

In no particular order:

▪  He promised to undo the Obama big government agenda.

▪  He promised to appoint conservatives to the courts.

▪  He is not politically correct and is plain talking.

▪  Hillary Clinton had problems of morality regarding Benghazi, email servers and her husband’s misuse of women.
