President-elect Donald Trump realized early in his campaign that U.S. IT workers were angry over training foreign visa-holding replacements. He knew this anger was volcanic.
Trump is the first major U.S. presidential candidate in this race -- or any previous presidential race -- to focus on the use of the H-1B visa to displace IT workers. He asked former Disney IT employees, upset over having to train foreign replacements, to speak at his rallies.
"The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker at a Trump rally in Alabama in February. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."
Yes, US nerds were angry about training H-1B replacements, but how much could they have helped put him over the top?

I'm not ashamed. My vote in the primaries didn't get him the nomination. He won my state by over ten percent.

Your username really checks out. I can just imagine you sitting on a dead tree overlooking a valley waiting for the next liberal to keel over so you can feast on its corpse.
I guess you're just a symptom of the age, people so disillusioned they'll make decisions for the entertainment value they'll receive. I have a friend like that, his mom was very ashamed of him when he voted for an actor because "fuck it why not its funny!"

Oh until this year I was voting for whoever I thought would destroy the country the fastest. I'm mellowing in my old age.
