I'm not a Trump supporter, but he is no idiot. He's a 'populist genius'. The leaders in 'Idiocracy' were truly idiots.

He was 'charismatic' in kind of a perverse/uncliassical way ... enough to motivate enough people to tip the scales.

I think we will finally see the 'real Donald Trump' when he starts doing the actual work. I'm very interested, but honestly, I'm worried, I think the risk is high.

I dunno, I think that kind of thinking is what likely sunk Hillary's campaign. Discounting the working class as undeserving, as the ones who meekly assume the role of punching bag for all ills we cannot ascribe to anyone else.

The DNC's mistake was misunderestimating (sic) Trump. The media played their part too.

I think the working class was really tired of Globalism. I'm as liberal as they get, but building in the cheapest country always bothered me.

I get hammered for this, but we buy Apple products. We pay a premium. We are told Apple has to build overseas, in order to sell us products at their low prices. Then they have the gut wrenching corporate problem of too much cash?

I'm sorry--it always bothered me.

That said, I'll be shocked if Trump succeeds in bringing back manufacturing. Those senators are not going to raise Tarriffs, or do anything to upset their corporate lobbiests.
