The only hope is for Trump to lower tax rates, and incentivise American development. The jobs that are lost are never coming back, but you can make it more attractive to create jobs here versus other countries for the future.

We don't need social change, we don't need open borders, we need a businessman that will get everybody employed.

Exactly...

But instead we will most likely get another career politician and pathological liar.

All because the business man talks rough and hurts feelings.

They act like they care about poor people, but they only care about getting votes. That's why they are the party of "free stuff" and they use their "free stuff" to keep loyal voters. If the people that are benefiting from these programs could dig themselves out of poverty then they'd be off public assistance and paying taxes and they might realize how badly they are being ripped off and vote for republicans. And government employees get paid a good salary too, so of course they will vote for the party of big government, they want to keep their jobs! Corruption. It's gotten worse under Obama and will continue to get worse if Hillary gets elected.

Obama didn't improve the economy and neither will Hillary.
So, to be clear, you are arguing that Democrats are wealthy, so they don't care about poor people, but that Democrats are poor and want free stuff. Okie doke.

BTW, check your stats. Educated liberals who work high paying jobs in wealthier urban areas and pay a lot of taxes, are paying for the poor rural areas in red states where many Republicans live. Isn't this what the anger is about? Rural white working class jobs have disappeared, hence angry white men, hence Trump.

In any event, I vastly disagree with your logic and explanation of "the problem."

Why should I care about employment in China and Bangladesh?

No, all because the businessman has a well documented history of screwing people over and always placing his own interests above the country's or anyone else's.

For starters, someone who actually remembers how bad it was around the end of 2008.

You don't see a math problem here? Really? You honestly think he can cut taxes to every single one of us and still run the country?

You have a problem with reading comprehension, or maybe you're so determined to "prove me wrong" that you twisted the facts. I said FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES live in the D.C. suburbs and that they make very good money. They also happen to vote for democrats. There is no disputing this, you can look it up online. NW Washington DC, Montgomery county in Maryland, Fairfax, Arlington, even loudoun counties in Virginia, all wealthy and all VERY blue. These are the wealthy government employees (take a look at home prices in these areas). Then you have the rest of the Democratic Party which are the voters that the politicians pander to. Promising free health care, free college, free everything. You know, the ones that Donald Trump asked what do you have to lose?

Why have rural white working class jobs disappeared? Is it because of open borders? I thought Americans didn't want those jobs?

Rich libs are paying high taxes to fund poor red states? Explain that for me.

He has a documented history of making business deals for the preservation of his wealth. Nobody is out there for the best interest of the country. Not even Warren Buffet or Bill Clinton. You don't see the 2 wealthiest Americans going around helping the country. They both pay themselves 1st. It's well documented that Microsoft has screwed customers by destroying competition which caused them to be fined for 500 million when the Feds called them a monopoly.

I'm surprised that nobody here called out on Obama because Obamacare is really stealing money from the middle class and giving it to the poor. The rich can opt out and pay the fine. How is that not stealing?!
