5. The deplorables prefer

misogyny and hatred to reading or thinking

You can't have a conversation with them - just like Trump

It's like an emotional virus that blocks out everything they
don't want to hear

9. Brings to mind the 364 economists who signed a letter in protest against Thatcher's policies

Maggot famously described the missive as "a piece of bad advice for every day of the year - except for All Fools' Day."

She chose to ignore their wise counsel in her typically flippant way. But the results speak for themselves.

10. None Of This Matters

Votes are cast on an emotional basis today so facts no longer matter. Sad, I know - tragic, really.

Every one of them this article and said I'd suggest you Vote against Trump and for Hillary if you value your country and the financial nest egg you're building.

13. That's Trump's appeal to his base.

It's all about destruction. They somehow think it will only be visited on others and not them.
