Olivia Nuzzi hit the nail on the head when it comes to Trump supporters.

I think it's pretty well established that Trump supporters don't care about his political stances. The question is why they're willing to ignore his past of grossly screwing the middle class.

I mean they've been supporting GOP candidates for awhile that screw over the middle class, at least this one talks to them instead of above them.

As a supporter it doesn't suck how crazy he makes some people.

Which one?

He's the only "R" that isn't for the sale/transfer of federal public lands to the states.

I don't think anyone particularly cares outside of the GOP establishment.

thank you for posting this link sys, I found the authors observations of the changes in marriage/kids born out of wedlock/job participation in that article and this one http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970204301404577170733817181646 very interesting. I really liked how the second link illustrated the growing gap between blue and white collar society vs what it was a generation ago.
