Possible reason for Trump's success: MSNBC version

Tweety and Chuck Todd (among others) were on Morning Joe this morning. A discussion came up about the outrageous tweets Dimwit Don has been sending out since the first debate. Tweety opined that people who support DD are willing to overlook his lunacy because he makes them feel like he can solve their problems and he appeals to their sense of patriotism. I suppose that's an accurate explanation of how Don Boy has captured the loyalty of his supporters.

but his logic about Trump supporters continuing to hang on to Trump due to the "elites" in the establishment parties, was just mind-boggling. Even he refused to say that Trump, regardless of whether he really is a billionaire anymore or not, is still an "elite 1%er". And media bobble-heads like Tweety want to gloss over this fact so that Trump can appear to be "one with the 'working class'", regardless of the reality being that Trump is so far outside the realm of working class, that he takes pride in stiffing them whenever he can, and calls that a "smart business decision".
