Trump attraction to the working class (to include the unemployed & underemployed) is not good news for Hillary and her un-American stance:

Why Trump's trade tirade, at odds with the GOP, could win working-class votes | Fox News

Anyone that has the slightest understanding of business and economics can see the destruction that the trade deals have done to our country.

Except for the fact that the White working class has gone from about 62% of the electorate in 1980 to about 32% in 2016.
Republicans' White Working-Class Trap: A Growing Reliance : NPR

Trump could win every single working class White voter and still lose in a landslide. This is the problem with the GOP, they are stuck in the past and they think it's still 1980 where the White working class and their resentment wins elections. It's 2016. Get with the times. Focusing on angry White people with high school diplomas is a losing strategy. They made their mess, now they have to live it.

Guess what? Many of us who support Trump are NOT "angry white people with high school diplomas". You are really out of touch.

Now, Clinton supporters/shills have to follow the "playbook".

Another good article: http://www.tampabay.com/news/politic...nd-its/2280187

The support is there across all demographics and the Dems know it, thus their latest high dollar attempts to discredit Trump with nonsense.

Let's see who is angry after the election in November!

Too many Trump voters think Trump is going to come save them when they really should be looking at their state governments and why they are failing. There are too many states in the Midwest that are failing at doing the job they should be doing. Trump can't fix this.

Believe it or not they said the same thing about Sander's supporters.

Well, except they said they were college educated. Which I'm not, nor am I (entirely) white.

Either way it's a way to condescending way to dismiss a lot of angry people. Even if we really were just ignorant masses, ignorant masses can do some damage.

Trump may get the votes, but he isn't going to do **** for working class Americans. He's also a hypocrite, because he personally made BILLIONS off of the same globalization he now claims to decry. He's just learned to SAY what working class Americans want to hear, etc. Anything they want to hear, he'll say it.
