I'm very glad this is his last week.
And what do you do under Trump if you go blind and disabled and cant work? Whats your plan? How do you get healthcare under Trump that ensure that you wont die because of lack of funds? Do you have children? We know that it is common in Appalachia for kids to be homeless if their parents are drug addicts. No proper social services as it is seen as evil government. You better have a proper plan in case you become disabled because Trump has just hired lots of social darwinists to his cabinet and that means people who are not in the top 10-20% are likely to see substantial culling of their numbers.

Me personally? I don't worry about strangers. I'm actually more concerned with starving dogs and kittens.

Too many people take advantage of the government. They have all the latest cell phones, a 300 a month cable bill, a leased Range Rover, but don't want to foot the bill for their own healthcare.

Nobody will solve all the world's problems. If someone is on the street literally dying - help him. I mean - they actually gave Charles Manson free surgery this week. They desperately tried to save Charlie Mansons life!

If you have terminal cancer, and have no money - you're not getting care. Because life isn't fair. Is it fair that Mick Jagger got all the ladies, and Rosie O'Donnell gets none? No.

That's America. For the most part - the more money you have, the more you get. Girls, cars, security, ect. Is it fair? No. It's life. The slowest hyena gets eaten. The rich guys have the hot girls. Have you ever seen a beautiful woman get out of a beaten up old car that she was driving? Never. Because hot girls are treated better. That's life.

I do think this is part of the consternation from establishment Dems. They are scared Trump might actually make things better, and they could lose their voting blocks for years to come.

1 in 10 Trump voters were BO voters. W/O them, HRC would be POTUS.

If Trump makes real progress in inner Chicago, it would really get the Dems to move toward Trump.

I think Trump's ego is so big - he will try so hard to make inner cities better.

amen


Infrastructure could employ huge portions of inner city population. If it does, they will migrate to the party that gave them gainful employment.

Was anyone surprised these voters eschewed Hillary in favor of Trump other than the elitists and the so called victim groups?
It was Trump who ignored the rust belt when he had his steel made in China. Bow down before the one you serve.

Dems thought getting boys in the ladies room mattered most.


NOT.
