Exactly that.
All those trumpsters who say the establishment republicans betrayed them should know that they're now voting for a figurehead whose every move will be directed by his establishment republican handlers.
They're going to play the old egotistical fool like a fiddle. They'll play him as handily as they've played the republican base all these years
-- and that's saying something.
They're even dusting off and selling the same ol' republican tropes -- tax cuts for the rich and "law and order"... Sound familiar?
In the meanwhile, you're working mcjobs and driving on crumbling bridges...
Simple formula: throw the repug base a little "red meat" in the form of bashing "the other", and you can get them to sell their own kids' futures down the river, time and time again.
Works. every. time.
At least hillary's feet can be held to the fire (and will be, by her highly skeptical & fed-up base, bernie voters, etc., and the historical nature of her presidency).
Trump and the repugs? Completely unaccountable to those
hero-worshippers and old "culture war" dullards ready to be
duped into voting against their own interests time and time again.
...That's why he flip-flops and backtracks incessantly (zero respect for your intellect), and why his handlers have now trot out the same ol' repug agenda... Pure cynicism. Hang it up guys. A vote for trump is a vote for newt and ryan, et al. Same politics as always, with no accountability.
