Bloomberg Politics’ John Heilemann met with 12 Trump supporters in New Hampshire to find out why the candidate appeals to him. Here’s what the all-white group said:
“He speaks the truth.”
“He doesn’t care what people think.”
“I like his roughness.”
“He’s like one of us … besides the money issue.”
“He said he’ll put a wall down on the southern border. When you talk about common sense, that’s the commonsense thing to do.”
“He’s successful. I wanna be a billionare.”
[Interviewer: “Tell me what a Trump presidency would look like?”] “Classy.”
“I think we could be a proud America again.”
“To the American people it would be a presidency of hope.”
