[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=kcal09]For those who don’t “get” Trump’s appeal, let me suggest a few things you might want to research. First, talk to blue collar people. They love him. Don’t lecture these people. Just listen to them. Watch his campaign ads. Listen to his speeches to his followers. Listen to what his followers say to the press who interview him. The silent majority is voting with their middle finger, and the middle finger is directed at the political establishment. Hillary won’t win. She can’t even win over the democrat voters.
If money and influence in political and business circles made any difference in this race, Hillary and Jeb would be winning by large margins.
Love him or hate him, he has unleashed a floodgate of pent up American frustration. It will be interesting, if not entertaining, to watch his performance as president.[/quote]
What are Trump supporters angry about?
I believe the republicans manufactured the discontent. Now it’s coming to bite them in the ass.[/quote]
I don’t know exactly why, but I am one of the 7 out of 10 people who also don’t like Clinton…at all…enough I’d rather vote for anyone but her.
I have read that if she wins the nod, she’d maybe get Bernie as her VP to get his voter’s support, but I don’t know if that’d happen since they would conflict with their idealogy…
I’d love to see if there could be a Sanders/Warren ticket…
If Bernie doesn’t get the nod, I am also tempted to go Trump just to give the middle finger too to the establishment. That and I don’t want Hillary to win.
Maybe people are just tired of seeing everything seem to have some special interest or favor bent. Just read in the paper how some guy who started charter schools in San Diego got a nice kickback of 5% at all the schools. You see this in nearly everything you read or watch.
I also don’t believe you can ever “take” special interest money and not be affected by it so Hillary, to me is just the same old same old. Nothing will get done since everything will be blocked by Republicans.
My hope is that we start taking private money out of politics, lose the 2 party system and start getting MORE non-establishment people elected so the system can change over the next 20 years…
This can be accelerated a lot if Bernie wins since not only among republicans, but I think a lot of dems are pretty annoyed in general. If you look at some of the videos of the democratic national chair, her whole comment is that she wants to keep the people “they” want elected and everyone else can pretty much go to hell. If you are in that group, good for you, but for anyone else, I think this system only benefits the old establishment…
Also, I liked the Inequality for all Documentary by Robert Reich. Here are some comments for Sanders. He has known Hillary since she was 19 and also SERVED on the Clinton administration as Secretary of Labor. He supports Sanders to fix our political system.
Everyone just knows the system is rigged (things are done for friends of elected officials) due to too much money in politics.
