just hilarys base, man. 2 previous winning voters, blacks & young, went big on obama. & in this election. its hard to read whether young sanders voters will get out of the car for hilary. same with the black vote, some of which are protesting clintons 90s crime bill. are black people really afraid of trump? i dont know. why? black people HATE illegals, its true, its true. Trump doesnt want to build a wall around chicago, just mexico.

all i know is the dem base split hard for bernie in the swing states. so hillz gotta get those lost votes back or its curtains in the most important states.


Trump's appeal isn't what the money men behind the politicians want to hear. Unless they're in the Arms business. He wants to reduce migration and imports to give higher wages to Americans, wants to break up cushy trade deals that only benefit the rich and so on.

The reason for this is clear. Over 50 years the job losses and decimation of wages has made life harder for most working class and middle class Americans.

When politicians stop listening to the people, they will listen to anyone offering an alternative. Even batshit crazy has a chance.
