I suspect that most Trump voters are motivated by who they hate and fear, more than their love for this country, in all it's diversity. Why else would the KKK and neo-Nazis endorse Trump? Trump doesn't disavow the white racists. Most of the rest of the GOP is getting behind Trump. Perhaps the KKK and neo-Nazis are part of the GOP base. Being smart about macro economics is not the GOP strong suit. The economy always suffers under Republican administrations. Most red states are net welfare recipients from the Federal government. Bill Clinton and Obama have done more for the economy than all the Republican presidents since Ike. Hillary will continue most of Obama's economic policies.
