Pop artist Hector Prado, an immigrant from Columbia, said he hoped to give Clinton this painting
tonight at her party in Miami. If she did not accept, he hoped to sell it, though he wouldn’t name a price.
His goal, he said, was to “soften” her appearance and capture her as a woman and mother rather than a politician.

Still at the Parkway Place Baptist Church, still desperately seeking conservatives and, instead, finding wave after wave of Clintonistas. If these people are any indication, the Clinton campaign needed only to exist as a concept in order to get out the vote.

There’s Jeanne Cole, a 72-year-old part-time worker and Clinton voter, who supported Bill during both presidential contests and more gubernatorial contests than she can remember. She got a letter from the Clinton campaign, but doesn’t recall ever being left literature or getting a door knock. She did not hear from the Sanders campaign.

There’s a 56-year-old African-American assistant principal in the Little Rock school district, who does not wish us to use his name. He’s a lifelong Arkansas resident and has supported the Clintons every year but 2008, where he broke for Obama.

“There’s a lot of stuff going on in our community that needs to be dealt with, and the Republican party is very divisive,” he says. “I think Bernie has some real good, strong ideas that need to be looked at, but when you look at the condition of Congress, his ideas are so far left that I don’t think he can get a lot of it done. I don’t think his ideas are possible. Clinton’s more moderate, and I think she can get more things done.”

Then there’s Lynn Boatner, 48, another African-American Clinton supporter, lifelong Arkansan and a “serial entrepreneur”, whose campaign exposure was also minimal.

Boatner was not persuaded by the Sanders campaign’s argument about the Clintons’ 1990s record with minorities.

There are no perfect candidates, and everybody has something to work on, but Hillary’s a fighter,” she says. “Sanders talks a good game, but there’s a whole lot of work to do, and I’m not sure about his agenda.”

A few scattered conservatives emerge from the voting place — there are hats, stickers, shirts, or conversation to identify them by — but they duck and focus on their phones, don’t respond to questions or seem outright hostile.

“Pffffft,” says one one man whose hat is determined to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

His comment seems dismissive.

I agree with Trump's, "“We have expanded the Republican party... extra people coming in... We’ve actually expanded the party..."

which, since the Tea Party had narrowed the Republican party so much by moving it so far to the right expanding the party by grabbing support from the most rabid
Tea Party people, was really the only way the party could go other than, even more unacceptably to the broader electorate, moving even further to the right ..

See also:

so for mine the support for Trump (while, yes, your reasons are part of it) is not so much for the reasons you give, but
rather more simply because he is seen as the most "different", "interesting" and "exciting" as Stephanie's suggested...

conix, Trump is the most liberal and non-Tea Party type of all the GOP candidates...
