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?

Do males have reproductive rights too?
Well of course silly. Men have the right to not have sex if they don't want to deal with pregnancy.
Of course suggesting women do the same is an OUTRAGE.
Hypocrisy? You're soaking in it

That's not an outrage. But women have the additional option of getting an abortion, seeing as how they carry the fetus in their body and all.

> deal with pregnancy
Funny how you forgot to put the accent on the right word, despite typing it.
Men and women don't exactly deal with pregnancies in equal ways...
