They feel proud of their Ford Nation but also beleagured and attacked and ridiculed by media and protestors. Combine this with the fact that most of them are low-income members of visible minorities. Is there any wonder they think claims about Ford's racism are bogus and hypocritical, coming as they do from the media, other politicians and protestors who mock Ford Nation? Ford loves them, invites them, talks with them and stands up for them (at least verbally). He is their friend, hero, idol.
None of the other candidates come close to developing the rapport that Ford does. They patronize. People know the difference.
Every critics and serious opponents of the Fords should read and try to comprehend the above paragraph. The extreme nutbars are usually a lost cause. It's the soft support that can still make a difference. Thank you by the way, and anyone else that went to witness that event.
