Look at Hillary's campaign it's children, children, children, he said a bad word, he said grab them by the pussy.
Trumps campaign is i will work with the american people, i will get a good new deal, ill put her in jail.
Then you have the blue states in rural areas that were hit hard because of NAFTA people don't forget Bill Clinton so when Hillary
defended NAFTA and called the TPP the gold standard people were outraged. We had a thriving coal industry those people no longer
have jobs so in reality Hillary lost because like Obama said he was in a bubble. The bubble meaning they don't understand what is troubling
average americans and lower income people because of the people they are around are mostly wealthy people and they don't understand the struggle
of the average american paying bills and putting food in the house. Id vote for some average joe who has no experience and is like a average working
joe over someone who has experience and a bit of wealth.
That is exactly what Rhythm was saying. Trump was saying the same things most people in this country were thinking. He made the 'oppressed white majority' feel like they were actually that. Once again, perception is reality.
Yes, Clinton was doing the same thing that Trump was doing, pointing out the ridiculous and terrible shit her opponent has done in his past.
So Trump sold them a bill of goods. Once again, NAFTA didn't kill coal jobs. Natural Gas killed coal jobs. The Republicans/fossil fuel lobby fracking everything in sight and drawing every Joule of energy from the earth is killing coal. Trump just told them something they wanted to hear. I will give him that. Clinton wasn't willing to lie that bad. Coal is not coming back. It is a dangerous industry with no future.
People are willing to take what they hear at face value and not even investigate it to see if it fits reality. You are really good at that dyre. Your complete lack of depth of understanding of any of these issues is scary, and I think it's actually pretty much the norm. Which is why most of the right is still saying things like "Give Trump a chance." And will likely be the reason why we will have Trump for 8 years.

Your intense lack of understanding of the words "centrist" and "democrat" could not be more evident.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
