Do they love Trump or do they hate Hillary?

After all is said and done, this election is not about love and admiration, it is about anger and hate.

The divisive vulgarity and name-calling, the disrespect for our people and our country, was shocking.

Our nation has been torn apart by this election. The wolves were at the door and the children were crying.

This election was not about issues. It was about the candidates. On one side, the voters were deeply fearful of one candidate. On the other side, the voters were deeply angry and hateful of the other candidate. Both sides were very distrustful of the other. There was no respect on either side.

How did it come to this?

That's why all the stories about him haven't changed many of his supporters minds.

They despise her with every fiber of their being. The loathe her to the point of being willing to believe any lie told about her (even when proven to be a lie) and will forgive every lie out of Trump's mouth.

If Hillary wins, the hate will intensify.

for trump because Hillary is just so bad, so much worse. They're full of shit and we know it. They're for trump. They love every rotten thing he says and does.
When someone says to me, I hate Hillary because, blah, blah, blah but trump is awful so I won't vote, I think they're wrong, but I have more respect for this than the idiots who say they're voting for trump because in some alternate universe, Hillary is worse.

for the last 20 years. They don't even know they have been listening to propaganda. The Hillary hate machine has done its job on Fox.

Especially the fundie nutjobs. They're hoping against hope that the Toxic Tangerine gets impeached and kicked out of office and the Unholy Roller is installed as President.

You can go back to Clinton, Gore, Kerry (what they did to him was tragic), Obama and Hillary.

Hate is their life blood.

Anger and hate were the centerpieces of his campaign.
