Quote:Was listening to a British talk show host earlier who made a valid point. The reason why nobody will change their mind on trump being their guy is because the alternative is admitting they were wrong for the last 30 years and voting against their own interests. The American dream they have been sold where improving workplace conditions or wages was lefty liberal rubbish or voting for a war mongering Bush clearly was not in their interests.

 

So now a guy has turned up and given them a whole load of scapegoats from Mexicans, Muslims or corporate tax rates and they are willing to swallow them all without question no matter how much of it is clearly nonsense, because the alternative is admitting they have been conned. 

 

You and your talk show buddy couldn't be more clueless.  You really looked like an ignorant fool with your "manufacturing jobs would only bring McDonalds levels wages anyway", but now you are doubling down with even more ignorance.

 

Many voters like myself hate the Bush family now (care to notice how Jeb did in the primaries??).  Most are embarrassed to have voted for them, because they are frauds (like most politicians on both sides of the spectrum). This is why Trump is so popular, because he's perceived as an outsider.  It's really that simple.

 

Illegal immigration is not a scapegoat. It's real. Islamic terrorism is not a scapegoat. It's real, stupid [BLEEP].  The [BLEEP] going on in Syria is real and people want it to stop, not MORE OF THE SAME.  Corporate tax rates are high. That's a fact. Trade deals allow companies to get away with slave wages and sell high here.  That's a fact.

 

This has nothing to do with pride.
