Of course he has no idea how to fix it.
Why yes, if you take away areas where Clinton did well (which isn't just southern CA), then she would've received fewer votes. Take away a few hundred thousand votes in rust belt states and Trump would've lost, too.

His base isn't actually that broad. It basically consists of the standard group of people who always vote R no matter what along with a few hundred thousand lazy white people in the rust belt who will fall for every con man or woman who comes along and promises them that they can have it all without any effort on their part.

Just think, in a few short weeks, Trump, a notorious con man, will be standing at his inauguration with Paula White, a woman who has swindled gullible, desperate people out of millions.


Well, at least Trump was smart enough to, you know, actually visit places like MI and WI and talk to the people there. What does that say about Crooked Hillary?


LOL!

I use to drive 100,000 miles a year as a commercial truck driver. You don't have to go to Detroit to take similar pictures. You also don't have to just shoot pictures of old industrial buildings. You can shoot pictures of decaying railroad trestles, roads or decaying barns and farms. Or you can go to almost any major city and take the same kind of pictures. America has been in decline for a very long time and it did not start with Obama - but he has not helped.

Indeed.

But Obama did waste 1T dollars on the middle east with nothing to show for it.

He wasted a lot more than that and has nothing to show for it. The National debt over doubled during his Presidency: U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time. Think it will hit $20 trillion before Trump is sworn in?

If you want the real truth, you can blame that on a long history in America of "greedy white men", because that is exactly whom the make up of individual whom sat in the top at the Executive seats of Industry and Foundations and Organizations, and it is the exact same, who crafted this destructive demise of the American Economy and the Erosion of Public and Private Industrial facilities, until there is nothing but blight and rubble left in their wake. This demonstrates their lack of respect, total disregard for the citizen population and no concept of protecting industrial legacy, they demonstrate how they destroyed what others over centuries and decades invested billions to build. Therefore, truth about the pictures you linked to, as usual, is a real life example of the Executives looking for short term profit at any cost, as being the direct result of the destruction and decay in picture you linked to.

None of that was done by the working people, not by the working poor whites nor the working poor blacks , or the working poor people of any other group.
This is only images from one City, the same was done all across these United States. The sad part, is the Universities are churning out a new generation of the same types who will continue the process of mass destructing for their chase of greed, driven by a consumption with Avarice as their character motivations.

These are the exact same mentalities that twisted the worlds of the Bible, trying to sanction and justify their vile of conducts they absorbed themselves within Centuries ago. Shocker !!!! "The Truth is Out" and no amount of denial can stuff it back in the box of lies to try and hide it. Their lack of regard for the working poor, the dire poor all of whom exist in the ranks of poor whites and minorities and all other non white ethnic make up.

Its evident where the true blame is, as its also evident of the denial among many, who refuse to blame those at the top for the downfall of American's Industry, its cities and its wealth mismanagement.

The "truth" can usually be told in one or two lines.

It's the long winded diatribes where the truth quickly disappears.

Here's a tip for you. The more you say, the less meaning your words have. I've no idea what you just posted.
