That’s only going to happen if he goes after his own party.

Who cares? One asshole at a time.

Always follow the money.

That kind of anger notches up a level when the opposing candidate calls you a KKK supporting, anti gay, molester. It ‘s the kind of thing that people would remember about you come election time.

Well put. I don’t understand why she didn’t try to reach these people. She pandered to everyone else, so it couldn’t be about pride. I don’t think making fun of their situation or equating them to the KKK endeared the deplorables to Clinton.  You’d think that with Bono and friends charity concert they would have…

They are indeed. Even “little Marco”, but if that’s true how come Trump annihilated his competition in the primaries? All of those guys were party hacks of one stripe or another. The republican machine went out of its way to keep Trump from getting elected. The same thing happened in Britain with the Brexit vote. …

Yes. That would be the political establishment not the voters. I am sure that they despise them as much as Sander’s supporters do.

Nah. You write that because it’s what make sense to you. The truth is these people don’t care about you very much either way. They care about themselves and want their leader to look out for their rights, jobs, and wealth. You and David Duke are a side show.

That is a staggering set of statistics, if it’s true.

Maybe. It would have helped if Clinton had actually talked to them about issues they voted for. I’m not sure they would have believed her, because I don’t think she believes much of what she is saying. So in a stunning reality check it is you who needs to examine your sense of entitlement to your view as the only…

I don’t think that’s true. They didn’t vote about the things that are important to liberals. Gee. Maybe because they aren’t liberals. They didn’t get off their asses in record numbers to overturn Roe v Wade or tell you what bathroom you should use. The overwhelming majority of people who voted for Trump did so out of…

Nicely put. Did that feel as good writing as reading?

True enough. Trump supporters voted for issues that had nothing to with the ones democrats were concerned with. The neo-liberal philosophy of free trade and open borders has gone from being a good thing to a recognition that sometimes relations are a zero sum game. It’s no longer acceptable for the world elites to…

Lazy and stupid liberals too busy watching themselves making bold and brave pronouncements have had their districts gerrymandered by those boorish republicans. Your votes don’t count for much these days.

Not sure how my daughter’s “PUSSY GRABS BACK” t-shirt was interpreted.

Does that childs jacket have “Make America Great Again” or “Stronger Together” on the back?

Well not everyone. Don’t forget about the people he surrounds himself with who tell him this is a good idea. Because he’s special. And if the world knew how special he was, then everyone could be a little more special.

It will also discourage the next hack who thinks this kind of thing is a good idea. His motives don’t matter. What he did matters. This guy should be chased through the courts for whatever civil/criminal penalties can be brought to bear.

Pretty much. It is weird that the echo chamber of conservative news organisations will make this true for so many of their American listeners.
