In reply to the discussion: What Trump gets and what the media won't say. [View all]Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)7. I think that was an excellent analysis. I just have one wrinkle to add.
Trump is appealing to those ignorant soles by playing on their racial animus. He blames all their economic ills on minorities. Nixon did this in 1968. To the extent that any Democrats pass over, I will consider it a purge of racists from our Party that has built up since 1968. I say good riddance to them.
