Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

[gimmethesimplelife]

Might be a good idea to leave the US. You will then see that we do not need to be made great again. We are great now! People who have not gone to or lived in other countries have no clue as to what a great country we live in. Would do you good to see what it is like to live elsewhere. Sure hope you go!

Au contraire. I have lived three months in Austria before with my family and have lived in rough areas of Guadalajara and Fresnillo, Mexico, for a total of nine months. It was very hard to return and readjust to the United States after having lived in Austria AND Mexico. Lots of insane issues here too is the only way I can put it. Rob

WE have a good friend that remarried someone young & pretty from Russia and once she didn't need him-5 years of course she divorced him. Well after she took what the first wife had not managed to get he was disillusioned so he quit working and got his SS and moved to Costa Rica. He comes home for a visit but actually loves it. It is not my cup of tea.

I don't know your friend but this sounds like a very sane, common sense, and logical choice to me. Good for him for giving up, breaking free, and leaving for a new chapter in his life. Rob

My DIL is from Poland and while they have great healthcare there are not enough jobs for their citizens. Many have had to move to Germany for work.

Sounds like here except for the healthcare. Shadow stats, using the less doctored method of calculating unemployment that we used to use until 1994 shows our unemployment to still be quite high.

moving to Germany for work is moving what equivalent distance in the U.S.. Could move it and not leave the country and qutie possibly the state right? (well they share a border may not be much of a move depending) Yea sounds kind of like here when people move for work.

The Philippines??? Have you been there? The weather alone would make that a non-starter for me.
What's wrong with Mexico?

West Virginia....May 10th. Humiliation Day. Last time around Clinton crushed Obama in the Democratic Primary and she stood smiling amongst cheers in Charleston, WV with confetti falling all around her. This time she was ambushed on the trail, tarred and feathered and left for dead.

Remember this day. By now Hillary was supposed to be taking a victory lap around the country, soaking up the last delegates and training her laser focus on the Republican candidate. Instead, she is having to fend off a feeble old codger from Vermont. Someone she was given an insurmountable headstart on but he is catching up anyway. Poor Hillary, finally all the lies and empty promises have caught up to her and exposed her weakness.

And two battleground must win states on the border. Ohio and Pennsylvania, could you be getting the infection?

There is only one place that can save her and she is going to be spending a lot of time there. Philadelphia. Without Philadelphia, the state of Pennsylvania is Red and Trump Country.

Florida, Ohio and PA. That's all it takes to win. I'd start sweating if I were her.

I'm puzzled as to why the Nebraska Democrats held a primary election if they had already assigned the delegates with an earlier caucus.

Why is the feeble old codger still in the race? He can't imagine that he'll get 90% of the remaining vote or benefit from a mass exodus of super-delegates. Is it all about pushing the platform to the left at this point?

OK, I had to protest the term "old codger". Who decides who is old and who is capable?

From what I have read, it seems that Sanders is simply giving Trump sound bytes to use very effectively in the lead-up to the election. Unprincipled is my call but I am not in the situation or decision-making role so please ignore as irrelevant from an outsider.
