Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

You are a dedicated son.

Thank You. You are very kind to understand this. Rob

I think it is awesome you still have your mom. I lost mine 7 years ago and think about her a lot. Enjoy your time with her)

The Phillipines does not require a great deal of assets to be a legal resident - Mexico requires more if you wish to be there legally. It all boils down to life being short - do I want quality of life or do I want to struggle in the insane hot mess the US has become? By now you'll know my answer. Rob

If this article has merit I'm not so sure the Philippines sounds like such a great place right now.

I haven't read your article as I'm on a quick banquet serving lunch lull before reentering a hall to clear. If it's about Rodrigo Duterte, the recent president elect of the Phillipines, I'll say you have a point here and now. A very scary man. It remains to be seen how much of his agenda gets carried out and what his effects on the Phillipines will be. Also if the Australians there start fleeing I'll take note. Rob

I see PJ O'Rourke has decided to endorse Mrs. Clinton:

"I am endorsing Hillary, and all her lies and all her empty promises," O'Rourke said. "It's the second-worst thing that can happen to this country, but she's way behind in second place. She's wrong about absolutely everything, but she's wrong within normal parameters."

PJ is certainly part of the dwindling tribe of intellectual conservatives.

He has been on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me and he has actually made a few funny jokes on there!

Read Republican Party Reptile sometime.

I think they write those jokes for the Wait Wait panelists.

Based on your excerpt, I was compelled to go to the source.

Very funny, very well-written, and too much of it is too true. I LOVE the Mr. Grinch take-off! I only take issue with a couple of things.. but most particularly "Jimmy Carter in a pantsuit." Hillary is no Jimmy Carter, for better or worse. She'd do better than Carter on foreign policy, but she's nowhere near as principled. I also disagree with Reagan being the Second Coming, although of course I acknowledge that all conservatives see him that way.

And of course, I disagree with his characterization of Bernie as being "the Donald Trump for people still living in their parents' basements." (although OK, I admit it, I chuckled).

But I did enjoy the article.

I've been a fan of O'Rourke for years. Holidays in Hell, The CEO of the Sofa, All the Trouble in the World.

I'm not sure if he's the one who said "If you were raised by Helicopter Parents, then the Sanders platform makes perfect sense to you."
