Yesterday the Washington Post ran a piece hopefully entitled “Military families could tip North Carolina to Clinton<\/a>” and they quote the president as he repeats the same tired platitudes we’ve heard in the Clinton ads. Then they offer hope to Clintonistas;<\/p>\n

North Carolina has a massive military presence. More than 50,000 active duty personnel are assigned to Fort Bragg. Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville houses several Marine Corps combat units and support commands. The Air Force\u2019s 4th Striker Wing is based in Goldsboro. With every poll showing that this state remains a true toss-up, strategists on both sides see these communities as top targets.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is not recent, reliable polling on this specific demographic. Some earlier surveys showed Trump faring well among members of the Armed Forces but underperforming past Republican presidential candidates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because veterans and active duty soldiers want more of the Obama treatment and that’s what Clinton promises. In fact, what Obama did to the military is what her husband started in the 90s. That’s the only idea they have – take the defense structure down and use the money to buy votes in social constructs and perpetuate their own power by pandering to the lowest information voters.<\/p>\n

To do their part for Clinton, the Post only interviews military voters at the Clinton rally while claiming that there is no reliable polling information for members of the military. Military.com<\/a> could disagree with that point.<\/p>\n

Career-oriented troops favor Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton by a 3:1 margin, a new Military.com reader survey has found.<\/p>\n

Of the more than 1,300 active-duty, National Guard and Reserve members who responded to the questionnaire and plan to vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election, about two-thirds, or 67 percent, said they plan to vote for Trump, while about a fifth, or 21 percent, said they intend to cast a ballot for Clinton.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Across almost every demographic group, from branch of military service to paygrade to gender, Trump was the clear winner in the survey. (The Republican presidential candidate was also heavily favored by thousands more veterans and military spouses who filled out the questionnaire.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So would SOFREP<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Out of 1968 military veterans and those currently serving, 1537 indicated they would be voting for Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
