I talked to plenty of people down south, before the election......and yes, they was a lot of anger at "business as usual" and some reception to a more populist brand. But this notion that Donald Trump, of all people....was some kind of defender of American blue collar, working class people, was patently absurd, from the get-go Simplistic slogans and dog whistling notwithstanding......
I wrote quite a bit of stuff on this board, pre-election.....about the obvious character flaws and inherent dishonestly of Trump. Unfortunately, afterwards....it was even worse, than I thought.....
