in but 11 days, trump will be elected by rust belt states liberals are deluding themselves into thinking they are blue. rust belt states are hicks, not hipsters, sorry mark. populism sells in michigan, in pennsylvania. not black lives matter.
since you will have to read about trump running my country for the next 4 years, maybe you should find something you like about trump & focus on that.

Why dont you post like this more often ?
The popularity of a complete dick like Trump is a really interesting phenomena. Unfortunately its also fucking terrifying. This is the downside of democracy, the voting populace are a self centered tribal mish mash, motivated by fear and greed. Sometimes democracy delivers the leaders that we really deserve.
I disagree with your assesment of "the liberal media" though, and I also find the constant claims of Trump to be an establishment outsider, not beholden to Wall St, to be one of the greatest con tricks ever pulled.
You hit the nail on the head though regarding Trumps populist message and his core support amongst the white working class male voters in states where manufacturing is in decline. However that will just not be enough. 30 years ago maybe, but you just dont win elections anymore without broader appeal, and you do not piss off whole chunks of the electorate by calling them rapists and grabbing them by the pussy.
