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 a feather not dot Indian and I'm from OK where most everyone has some Indian blood in them, so I'm just used to differentiating online by now.

    Pro-tip: If you want cheap, decent smokes: roll your own. You can get a month's worth of tobacco for like $15 and rolling papers for a buck or two per hundred pack. Plus you get the added health benefit of having pretty much none of the wicked-nasty shit they put in pre-built smokes.
