There is a really small minority in the US called the 1%. They get really âconcernedâ when your goal is to restore the middle class. In the Last 20 years wages have only gone up by 2%. The top earners have seen their income go up by 200%. By the way, inflation over the last 20 years has gone up about 60%. So if you earned 100 dollars 20 years ago, figure out what your buying power is today. No wonder people feel like they canât get ahead.

Trump: Good to see Obama is getting it. My goal is to make every White person scared of other races. Terrorist attacks only help my cause.
Santorum/Huckabee/Rubio/Graham: That is/was my strategy. Rich just control the media.

People with good jobs and decent lives donât support Donald Trump. Not that Iâm blind and stupid - these blue-collar guys are the same demographic that was beating us hippies up in the 1970s - but in the Before Time they would have been FDR fans. Now, they feel abandoned and rightly so.They would be a lot less susceptible to right-wing demagoguery now if both parties (NAFTA, TPP anyone?) hadnât sold all of their jobs overseas and cemented the deal with odious âfree trade agreementsâ. Two generations ago they would have been able to think about sending their kids to college. Now theyâre lucky to be able to get a gig with no benefits at Walmart and apply for food stamps.

Interesting that blue collar men and women for that matter believe a bellicose billionaire whoâs only interested in feeding his narcissistic personality disorder could be their savior when in reality itâs the man in the blue shirt who could do more for themâŚ

âDonald Trump is exploiting the anger, frustration, [and] fear among blue-collar men.â
Because nobody better understands the financial plight of red-state, pickup-driving, blue-collar workers than a Manhattan trust-fund billionaire with private helicopters and $1,000 manicures.
Itâs the perfect alignment of economic interests!

If it was economics driving this they would be supporting Bernie, not the billionaire heir.

Benghazi the movie starts January 15, two weeks before the Iowa primary.

The reason is that the president does not look like them. That overrides everything for the racist Teabaggers.

This from the director who made the POS Pearl Harbor in which FDR stood up at at conference table to talk about making war against the Japs. This things will likely be as accurate.

Nonsense. Large numbers of conservatives vote against their interests in every election I can remember.

I do understand the underlying reason why people who shouldnât do so listen up when Trump bellows, but the president looked mighty fine in the blue shirt and heâs not afraid to take his jacket off 'cause heâs built so very well. Unlike Donald who scares little children and old ladies when he removes his jacket (Itâs the silly season and Iâm going to join it 
)
