Black, middle class male here with a college degree and White collar job. I voted for Gary Johnson. I didn't like Clinton or Trump. I wanted Bernie Sanders to win the nomination. Of the Republicans, John Kasich would have made the best candidate. Trump won instead.

I really liked Kasich. It would have been the first time I have ever voted for a republican (president), but he was all but ignored by the GOP voters. I didn't get it at all. I thought he would have been a great president. I guess because he was too middle of the road?

I've voted for both Republicans and Democrats. I liked Kasich too. If he had won the nomination, I would be picking him for President.

He is a Christian social conservative and a globalist career politician for open borders, free trade and panders to non-whites and foreigners, with a bad temper he barely manged to hide. Which part did you like? I was only okay with the Christian social conservative part.

Thats why hispanics are winning in this country. And Asians. And west indians. And west africans. And MEasterners. They outwork you and hard work pays off. Period.
OOps misread your post--

Asians in particular- it would be WAAYYY easier to get into college WITHOUT affirmative action.

Then why do they vote ~65% Democrat that would never roll back affirmative action? Maybe because Asians are very overrepresented in college and at the same grades and standardize test scores have about the same acceptance rate as whites. Maybe affirmative action in reality isn't hurting them and they're not the ones shouldering the burden at all?
