Notice the subject line of this email between John Podesta and Hillary Clinton from August 2015 - Needy Latinos and 1 easy call.

The guy that wrote the article correctly identified all the stereotypes but then proceeded to re-enforce them.

I Live in a small town, rural community. He portrayed us all as being hopeless, unemployed, meth heads who don't have the required intellect to know any better.

He correctly identified the elitist, smarmy, "we know better" attitude of city dwellers but then went on to reveal himself as one of those very same people through his inaccurate portrayal of the rest of us.

However, there were some good points he made and he did get some things right.

This current election has been rigged from the start. When Clinton announced she would run we heard little to nothing about Sen Sanders for three months. Sanders did great with the voters but he didn't stand a chance with the superdelegates. Clinton had it sewed up from the start. Trump has be trashed by the news media with articles dating back to almost thirty years. Isn't it obvious that these same allegations would have been available in the republican primaries? So why didn't the other republican candidates drag Trump through the mud then? We only heard about this when Trump became a real threat to Clinton. It is clear the elitists run both the democratic and republican parties. Trump is right about one thing, this election is rigged.
Yes the fix is in but it's not over yet. If people would only take time to understand what is going on instead of jumping on a bandwagon because they were democrats all their lives. If it were the other way around I'd vote for the Hillary no problem.

Wouldn't it be something if people woke up and showed the political elite we the American people aren't so stupid Hillary lost. If Trump is president at least the media would do their job and keep him reined in.

You don't need a military to take over, it takes people who are struggling willing to buy into someone who promises to save them, and when the media covers for their corruption, it's very dangerous for the people.

When the media stops being the watch dog and is controlled, owned, favored by the political elite or by a party (democrat or republican), it's very dangerous for the people.

Kind of a uneducated statement, since only Hillary has spoken about ending people's jobs!

The conservatives would like to return the control to the elites so only rich, church going men could rule. The Alt-right just want to let the thugs like them rule without any law.
Now we have leaders like President Obama and Hillary who make their money from high paid speeches talking about selling out America. Plus, it is always the left who comes up with names for others, while instilling fear in the poor. Such a party of disgrace!

I also would like to add that the 2A remain untouched.


This is why Trump will get my vote. Granted ,I know it is all talk , if he gets elected there will be nothing but roadblocks for him when he tries to propose changes.
The 2A IS A GIVEN!!!

Its a privilege to be in a great country & immigrants have to earn & respect it. Some of my highly qualified engineer friends are still waiting for their green card & some of them moved back home because the illegal immigrants got ahead of them. So according to them, whats the point?? They loved this country as much as I do but felt betrayed & cheated when Dems pushed them aside to help law breakers jump the line.

You know your system is failing when hardworking people get punished & lazy, deceitful freeloaders get rewarded. Its the same reason people left their third world countries to move to an equal opoortunity culture in first world countries. But we are slipping from first world country status & as a result we are losing qualified hardworkers & flooding the country with ignorant, cunning free loaders. Just because an empty mind is easily controlled whereas an educated, rational mind asks questions & not easily convinced.
