I’m one of those “deplorable” people that voted for Trump. I’m 68 years old, a veteran, graduated with honors (bachelor’s). Went to grad school (honors). Dad was career military (WWII, Korea, Vietnam).
I voted for McGovern, Jimmy C., Mondale, Clinton (twice) and every democratic candidate for everything from President to dog catcher.
I do believe that all of you here are political geniuses, as conversant with Keynes as you are with Friedman, Hayek, Marx and Mao.
So you geniuses tell me why I voted for Trump.

And by the way, if the MSM (CBS,NBC,ABC,NYT, LAT,CNN, MSNBC and almost every newspaper in the country) can’t get a good message together to counteract the effect of Fox News, then how weak is their message? It’s like watching Jack Reacher (Fox News) facing off against six bad guys in a bar (the MSM). You know how it’s going to end.
