Trumps: White Angry Middleclass

[Ultralight]

I think most Americans dislike the media -- the right wingers think it is too liberal. The liberals think it is too right-wing. So everyone is enjoying Trump's jabs at the media.

[Williamsmith]

The media seems far from embarrassed to me. Some of them in fact seem to be claiming that he only started writing checks after they called him on it.

Many of the media will do anything to rid the country of the scourge of Trumpism. Including inventing fraudulent incidents and ginned up charges. They are wasting their time digging deep into the Trump phenomenon. The answers to his popularity are right on the surface. He is a simple man. Perhaps even a simpleton. But he is motivated by his true feelings and not some elaborate scheme to take over the country. He speaks his mind even if that reveals he hasn't thought it out too clearly. He has been accepted by the common man not because he sits around the fire with them, but because he champions their causes while enjoying things the common man dreams of. And he doesn't tell the common man that their time has passed and now others must reap the benefits of your labor. He is not a puzzle, he is exactly what he appears to be and that irks the media.

Incredibly astute.

The secret of his "success" is that he tells his followers what they want to hear with little regard for truth or logic.

I think he is exactly what he appears to be: a crude, mendacious buffoon with a limited grasp of the issues.

Uh... the typical American?

The media made Trump with constant coverage, now i am supposed to believe it is somehow against him. give me a break.

I look at it this way:

The journalists doing the reporting are Bernie fans. Their bosses are Hillary voters.

But the news organizations follow Trump, giving him media "love" because he is a sound bite a second kind of guy. He gets people watching their stupid news shows.

Yes, they made him against their own philosophies. It is hilarious to me.

C'mon, tell us what you REALLY think of this buffoon!

He is a liar. He is a bully. He is a boor. He is a Liberal. He is perhaps the only candidate the GOP could have chosen to make Clinton's more conventional vileness and duplicity seem relatively palatable by comparison.

If he wins in November, and perhaps even if he loses, he will have set back the cause of American Conservatism by a generation.

I'm impressed. Even when you talk about that horrible jackass you manage to find something to be optimistic about.
