It is clear that the “idiot” pundits didn’t see Trump coming. But in national polls Trump is about even with Clinton. Many of his supporters are, but is half the country racist and/or sexist?
Nope. Not even close.
Trump is a jerk, but he speaks to* the following issues that the pundits have never accepted:
These topics are almost never raised in the MSM because the people who own the MSM make money from bribery, unfair trade and wars. They prefer to talk about Trump’s racism, sexism, etc. because the issues listed above RESONATE against establishment candidates like HRC.
I would add that the idiot pundits also said Bernie Sanders would never catch up with the Democratic front runner. (Remember a “30% ceiling”?) He blew that away because he legitimatelyspoke to the important issues listed above, plus many others. His delegate count is far lower buthis popularity continues to grow. Which metric do you think is more connected to establishment politics vs progressive policies?
On May 10th NBC released a poll where Bernie beats Trump by 13 points, vs Hillary’s 5 point margin.
Naturally the corporate media article headline was about how HRC leads among Democrats. They do admit at the end: “If Clinton wins the nomination, she will need to secure young voters as well as Independents to forge a path to victory against Trump in November.”
Ahem. Independents really dislike HRC. And the kids are on to her bullshit.
The establishment will never allow an honest discussion of the issues above, especially the BRIBERY. Clinton tries to say a few words here and there, but she has little credibility on the issue. We can only hope she does the right thing and bites the hands that feed her.
*NOTE Trump lacks credibility on them, but that is a separate question. The American people want them addressed, and establishment candidates will never do so.
