Trump is a moderate, same as Ross Perot and many others;
trump has never been moderate in anything he has ever done.
now he's just outa his fking mind.
the GOP establishment hates him
not all. some are true MAGAts. others hate him but fear him even more. i'm willing to bet donny knows the secrets of some that cause them to bend over like they do. others simply have no spine to stand up to his 5th grade bullying & by extension - fear his red hat brigade coming after them.
as much as any Democrat pervert does.
perverts come in all walks of like. including those who still drag their knuckles when they do.
His base is former patriotic working and middle class Democrats left without a Party after the 1976 elections.
some were for sure. hillary spoke of them.
"But the other basket, the other basket, and I know because I see friends from all over America here. I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas, as well as you know New York and California. But that other basket of people who are people who feel that government has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they are just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."
howeverrrrrrr the vast majority are the deplorables & after voting for him the 1st time, but not figuring out that donny is a grifting thug- & voting for him 2/3 more times? it's either cult time, or this:
"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.
