If a new poll is to be believed, Donald Trump has earned the support of one of the most coveted voting demographics.
After surveying 931 members of the armed forces, researchers found that out of all the candidates running for president in both parties, Trump was the preferred choice for the majority of them. A solid 27% of the survey’s respondents said he was their favorite candidate, with his closest rival being socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders who came in at 22%.
More specifically, Trump enjoyed high levels of support from the Army and Marines, both of which saw 30% of respondents listing him as their choice. Although he wasn’t the preferred choice of respondents in the Air Force or Navy, he still had significant levels of support, with the branches having 23.58% and 22.35% of their members favoring him respectively.
The numbers are a major boon to Trump, who has been hounded by critics for his relative lack of foreign experience. Earning such impressive levels of support from servicemen will undoubtedly help him mute such attacks.

Although Trump may lack traditional foreign policy credentials, the men and women of the military seem to think that he has a strong grasp on the subject and can be counted on to look out for the country’s best interests. Gaining the support of such an esteemed group alone is a worthy accomplishment for anyone seeking the presidency:
“The data seems to indicate that the GOP national security establishment’s attempt to discredit Trump’s foreign policy credibility has failed — at least as far as servicemembers are concerned.
Trump’s hardline stances on national security issues appear to have attracted dedicated support from members of the military, though several military officials have complained about his aggressive statements on torture and the killing of terrorists’ families, which Trump had to walk back.
Officers surveyed still favor Trump, albeit by a smaller margin than regular enlisted troops. Officers ranked Trump first with 21 percent support and Cruz second with 18 percent.
And even though Sanders has also been perceived as weak on foreign policy, that fact hasn’t hurt his polling numbers among servicemembers.
Despite Sen. Marco Rubio’s attempts to prioritize foreign policy in his platform and despite the Republican national security establishment essentially throwing all of its might behind his campaign, he ranks second to last in the survey.”

Josh, the main problem facing this country actually isn’t terrorism, or even political correctness, but the level of immorality and depravity. The killing of Christians condoned by our current administration and the distancing of ourselves from our greatest aly in the Middle East, Israel. Lastly, forgetting God, our creator. This is by far the greatest threat to our nation as to whether we will continue to exist as a country. Only God will let until it is taken out of the way. When God decides is when it is over. We would gave been destroyed already if not for His mercy, which endures forever. At least like I said, until He says , ‘IT IS TIME NO MORE.’
Judy Gonzales You live in a fantasy world.
Oh…so now Trump idiots are berating soldiers because they dont like Trump. You should move to Flint MI., so you would at least have a valid excuse for your brain damage.

As vet, I don’t recall many instances where the servicemen were referred to were as highly intelligent, evolved, and aware individuals. However, as a collective they are for their designed purpose.
REASONS TO VOTE !!! DONALD J. TRUMP
Donald J. Trump is the only candidate who can turn things around for America and should be taken seriously!!!
He loves America and Americans of ALL races.
He’ll alow the best of the best to, bring this country out of the hole this administration put it in !!
With the exception of No-bama the
President of the United States is the Chief Executive Officer of our nation.
We don’t need a policy expert or a legislator – we need someone who knows how to run an organization. Mr. Trump is the only candidate who has a proven record as a successful executive on a large scale.
He may not always say it in the most polished way, but our country has had enough suave liars. It is time for some straight forward honesty.
As President every decision he makes would be in the best interest of the country. We hear about his having business interests that filed for bankruptcy. In each case, he looked at the situation as it was, and then he cut his losses. We need someone who will look at government programs realistically and if they are failures; will end the wasteful Washington spending.
Trump has been viciously attacked by the Washington establishment and the media – and he has not budged one inch. In other words, he is willing to take charge and lead.
Negotiating is brilliant/ internationally/ unparalleled. No one builds an international business empire the size of Trump’s without being able to win at the negotiating table.
job producer/ just for the records/ most of his CEO’s are women/ yes they make more than the men !
universal interstate medical/ insurance program is very realistic/ competition.
He’s pro military & Vet’s / Seal off the boarder / build that wall
a world class military/ hardware/ hacking/ security [too good to fail].
we have a Islam problem in this nation..
SUMMARY
Like him or not, agree with him or not, it doesn’t matter. So far Trump is the only candidate who has shown that he “can up-set the apple-cart” and make things happen and he is exactly what America needs at this point !
We must not listen to the “political main stream media”. They are not going to tell you the truth! They are twisting words for their own story and agenda! There is an important choice that each voter has to make.
Not only is Donald Trump the smartest man running for the presidency of these United States. He is the only one willing to finance his campaign out of his own pocket.
Build the Trump wall! / Get rid of common core!
Eliminate Obama care! / De-Fund Planned Parenthood’s abortions!
Give Social Security people a raise!
Take care of Veterans / Cut out welfare for people that can work!
Read UN Agenda 21! / Outlaw Lobbying and all other forms of bribery!
Vote for Trump’s tax plan! / Vote for Term Limits! / Vote for a Balanced Budget!
Bring back employers who have gone abroad to escape taxes!
Ban and deport Radical Muslims! / deport illegal !! / Prosecute Hillary !
So sick of hearing he (Trump) filed bankruptcy, get a life you crybabies, every body makes mistakes !! And that bull about we need a Christian in office, and you want a politicians like Cruz and Rubi-no instead of trump, listen, a politician is not a Christian, they are criminals !! The only chance in hell we have of pulling this country out of the hole this Muslim put it in, Trump 2016 !!!
Donald Trump did not steal your money. Donald Trump did not raise your taxes.
Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food. Trump is not stirring a race war. Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazzi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.
Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda. Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East. Trump did not betray Israel. Trump did not provide financing and technology to Irans nuclear weapons program. Trump did not give our military secrets to China. Trump did not remove our nuclear missile shield in Poland at the behest of Russia. Trump did not shrivel our military, and betray our veterans. Trump did not cripple our economy. Trump did not increase our debt to 20 trillion dollars. Trump did not ruin our credit, twice. Trump did not double African American unemployment. Trump did not increase welfare to a record level for eight years. Trump did not sign a law making it legal to execute, and imprison Americans. Trump did not set free all of terrorists in Guantanamo bay. Trump did not steal your rights, violate US Constitutional law, or commit treason, hundreds of times.
Trump is being ripped apart in the news, non stop. Barrack Hussein, Hillary Clinton and the criminals occupying our government, are not.
The media is the Democratic Party.
Save your culture. Stop listening to them.
He has said NOTHING derogatory about MEXICANS …. He has said what American citizens KNOW….. This country has to close its borders to ILLEGAL Immigration!
Finally, someone who tells the truth! It’s what this country needs! Why did Cruz only become a us citizen 15 months ago? He would still be a Canadian citizen if he wernt running for President. A Texan pointed out when Cruz ran for the Senate he was pro immigration. The Texan said Cruz would not have won Texas had he been for deporting illegals… He’s a Nasty guy and he would lose to Hillary. I’m so glad Trump is going to beat him. Trump is way smarter and honest than lying Ted. Not to mention that Ted Cruz ate a booger on live tv. He stole votes from Carson in Iowa and I wouldn’t be surprised if he stole more.
You dont know what Trump was for the$#%&!@*hat lies like a MoFo.
I did serve I am a med discharge
WE ALL KNOW THAT BERNIE AND HILLARY ARE COMMUNISTS.ITS ABOUT TIME WE TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY TRUMP FOREVER.IN YOUR FACE GOERGE SOROS.
This article loses all credibility in the first paragraph. “Trump is the preferred choice by the majority. A solid 27% said he was their favorite candidate.” News flash majority means over 50%.
