Misplaced insult and nothing more, it reeks of not trying and it shows.

I would vote for Trump, but that doesn't mean I support everything he says. I'm not a Democrat and I'm definitely not a Republican, but some of Trump's political views (mostly those made before his nomination and the GOP debates) are fairly moderate. Trump was at one point a registered Democrat, and, it's worth adding, he is most certainly not a racist.
I know anime fans are a far-cry from PC police, but a lot of them have their heads in the clouds when it comes to things like politics. They probably watch one news channel, if that, and go to one news website. This epitomizes a biased opinion. Politics just doesn't interest otaku, unless it's about censorship (don't go there). Most people haven't even read Trump's Wikipedia page, let alone read his biography. But hey, this is the internet, so it's your right to say anything about whoever you want.
A lot of stuff has been said about Trump, and he has said a lot of stuff. It's politics. When it's Trump vs. Hillary in 2016, you'll see both sides appealing to moderates. The Republicans can't win based on Republican votes alone.

I believe he's given us a window into his thinking ( such little as their appears to be ) on the subject of the value of the votes of the people he classified as "otaku".
As I said insulting a group of voters wasn't a good idea, but Mr. Wilson is probably having a bad day/month/year/life.

Dude, you don't need to sign your posts. Everyone can see your screen name right there, thanks. It's super pebble-in-shoe irritating.
Also, politics. However, thus far the general behavior in a thread about politics has been about a million times better than any given thread about lolis, which I'm pretty sure is an overall failure on all of our parts.

Well, I always knew Trump supporters were known for their love of diverse, multicultural material made outside of the US.

Or that enjoying material that carries no risk of injury, disease, coercion, sex trafficking, or child exploitation in its creation is somehow worse than enjoying material that does.

Nothing screams "socialist" quite like giving $600,000 speeches to Goldman Sachs executives (as a certain former First Lady who's the same age as Trump has done), right? And O'Malley's only 53.

Damn, even Squidi got in on it!
But no, Trump fans are actually backwoods hicks who think all Muslims are terrorists, and can't seem to understand that America was FOUNDED by immigrants.

well as I've said before trump gets in he's more then likely going to burn the nation down, anyone who isn't white be they legal citizen or not will be deported and he'll raise a nazi flag, now I'm not looking for an argument here but that's just my opinion, I already know who my vote is going to and it's certainly not a drug user, a drunk, or the next hitler

meh; there are worse things to masturbate to. e.g. snuff, furry shit, MLP porn, you're own ego (most bigots like this trump guy) ect.
But why only the anime masturbators? why wouldn't his reasoning also apply to all masturbators and porn in general? usually i'd give his observation some merit but then you're just ignoring the potential problem of over population especially when dealing with an immigration problem; if everyone in america wasn't childless then you'd have a major economic crisis much worse than anime (next on fox, anime; the scourge of the country).
regardless this seems like a publicity stunt to gain momentum and greater coverage across the internet, i can infer that maybe he reckons people who fit this definition don't bother to vote or something and could get away with slander. best just ignore this guy.

I find it insulting that hentai is the only anime refereence the jerk has, we've had anime coiming over here since the 80s and hentai is the only genre he can think of. Really, how many anime fans actually vote really?

Did 4chan trigger someone again? Something that specific is pretty suspicious.

Trump's campaign, continuing to amuse.
I'm continuously surprised at how many people think he's a legitimate candidate and take him seriously, though.

This was honestly the best moment in TV history, and he's not wrong.

I think he's just ashamed that he's a childless single man who masturbates to anime. What a paradox!

Hrm…I know conservative anime fans certainly do exist, but I don't believe they are quite the majority, either. I'm guessing Rick Wilson is quite intimately acquainted with the demo. He seems to know much more than I…
I sure hope Wilson is tight with Rick Santorum, too, because there would be a few funny things to mine from that…
