Personally, I think the government has grown too big. We expect of it, especially on the federal level, to do too much.
Yes, it seems like it takes this track itself, but an opportunity, or need, had to exist first.
I get Hillary, I know how she triangulates power, and I know how she favors Wall Street, etc....
What I want to hear is WHO is this Trump guy who is wanting to be president?
What are his ideas, as you believe, he wants to do, why, and how?
If you can, any idea what his cabinet might be.....
I realize this is just a guess, but I am hoping to discern his intentions by those he enlist.
Thanks, I am serious, the "media" is not any place to get facts anymore
Trump is basically a successful 3rd party candidate.
He drew support from both parties, but he aligned himself with the Republicans. It's not exactly a perfect metaphor, but he's a mirror image of Bernie Sanders except he was successful because Republicans and conservatives are more open-minded and judge people by their deeds and not because they can check off all the correct boxes.
His support runs from upper incomes to poor, black to white, Hispanic to Midwest farmers in flyover country.
Don't let the media tell you who supports Trump, they are lying. He's got broad support. I said a couple of months ago I was in a beef processing plant in Nebraska and the level of Trump supporters among management and line workers was something I've never seen before. I heard a rental car worker in Wichita talking on his phone to a buddy about how exited he was because he was going to a Trump rally. You would have thought Paul McCartney was coming over to his house for dinner.
Get ready for some fun now. The liberals will throw everything at Trump. You think some of the protest we've seen so far were something, just wait. And the MSM will paint these pieces of human excrement as heroes, as if they have a valid reason for rioting, burning, violence and I predict there will be deaths. The MSM will play the race card and bigot card hard despite the fact they have no basis in truth.
The liberals will fight, literally to the death, to stop Trump because he represents a danger to them. By controlling the media and therefore (they thought) the culture, Trump's success means the few no longer can control the masses. They thought they'd won the war once and for all, using the entertainment culture and planted their flag, but perhaps a bit prematurely.
I'm not sure Trump will be a great President or not. It's a certainty he'll be better than the living, breathing piece of $hit we have now, that's for sure. But in my view and why he's got my support is he's the only thing standing between liberal elitist domination of this country which will be the final nail in the coffin and a chance, however small it is, at keeping this Republic alive for a little while longer.
