Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

[Williamsmith]

The white angry middleclass is having an orgy of excitement over Sarah Palins endorsement of Trump. Can you say Madamme Secretary of State Palin?

So, angry white man, how do you feel about this new turn of events? Personally I'm relieved, I had a feeling my Dad might actually vote for Trump out of pure peevishness, but no way is he voting for Palin.

ETA: oh, I guess she's not actually his running mate (yet), but there's a thought for ya.

I think a Trump/Palin presidency would ultimately be good for the US.

It'd be a painful 8 years, but after that I think there would be a lot of wising up in this country.

I'm not sure we could survive those years.........as a nation or as individuals.

We'd muddle through for the most part. I have said this before and I will say it again: Americans need to learn that stupidity has negative consequences.

Trump is the man to teach Americans that lesson -- the hard way.

I think, as usual, the people who vote for our new president will excuse his/her actions by blaming congress, and the ones who didn't vote for that person will blame him/her for everything wrong in the world before the inauguration even takes place. Deliver us from Donald.

I would see it as roughly the same level of stupidity as the past eight, with perhaps half the condescension.

I'm going to send the Rubio campaign a few bucks and hope for the best.

The angry white middleclass is looking forward to Sarah Palin addressing the Republican Party convention in Cleveland making the nomination speech for Trump with an AR 15 rifle slung around her chest wearing an NRA cap and a NASCAR pit crew coat. Who cares about what Trump really believes. It's all about rubbing the oppositions noses in it and winning.

I am sick that my kids are going to be worse off than I was at their age.

Tough question here:

The way you phrase this, and within its context, it seems like you think this is a systemic -- and political -- issue. Isn't the Republican response to say: "Your kids are worse off than you at their age because of personal failings? Life is what you make of it, Horatio Alger! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and quit your crying!"

Americans need to read the Constitution and understand what the role and powers of the President actually are.
