Most of what he says is nuts but he's right on the money with this one:
It applies to both parties of course, and the middle class knows they aren't the 'special interest' that either party cares about.
Actually, I was surprised today to hear him say something reasonable. It was about Dubya throwing in support to Jeb.
But some single statement about this or that doth not a good Chief Executive make.
I think there's a dilemma posed to the voters this year. You can tell me over and over that being a celebrity-bully makes a good Prez, but I refuse to buy it. You can tell me that just being an "outsider" makes a superior candidate. I know better than that. So you can choose inexperience, volatility, personality disorder over "insider experience."
On the other hand, someone like Jeb -- yes -- has the experience. But I suspect industrial affiliations that I dislike. Further, these guys have been doing the same thing over and over for years. They break things, then they come back and promise to fix them as they also try to put the blame on somebody else.
Trump's supporters are probably people who don't much care if he knows what their lives are like. They're people whose anger about certain things is a pulse that Donald takes regularly, and he continues to stir that base of lemmings. In fact, I think his supporters don't much care about the other lives that they don't live.
Ultimately, whether it's Bernie or Donnie, they'll be cutting deals with the power elites -- the mythical interests who hang back in the shadows, convince people that they're being tyrannized by the gov'mint, while they slyly try to manipulate it toward their own ends.
To that, you and I are just like trout in the stream. They figure if they use the right fly, they'll catch more fish. Whether it's a celebrity-narcissist-outsider attempting to do it, or a cabal of certain industries and lobbies, you're just an idiot voter to be manipulated.
So -- who, or which party -- attempts to appeal to the lowest common denominator?
