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?

First of all Hilary Clinton is on record opposing gay marriage, and only changed her opinion when it was expedient to do so.
The landmark case against that essentially made gay marriage legal was argued by Theodore Olson, you know founding member of the Federalist Society, a man so conservative democrats refused him to succeed Alberto Gonzales.
And we can go further with how the Log Cabin Republicans forced the issue of gays serving in the military, which the Obama administration argued vigorously against, and in fact fucked over the gay community by repealing DADT so there was no legal precedent.
I know liberals love to pat themselves on the back at how progressive they are, and how you defend gay rights, but where the rubber meets the road, you haven't done shit.
