"Trump fights for the worker who showers after work not just those that shower before work. The democrats have given up on the working class. The Republican Party is now the party of Trump," Parscale said.
Once you understand that, you understand the divide in this country.This is because @realDonaldTrump fights for the worker who showers after work not just those that shower before work. The democrats have given up on the working class. The Republican Party is now the party of Trump. https://t.co/RdCTqLqVgz— Brad Parscale (@parscale) May 28, 2018
It isn't cultural or racial or religious.
His support is largely by people who work at sweaty things. Not every person of perspiration is behind us. And some of us haven't sweated in decades. I left Phoenix Dye Works in 1980.
But that is whom he represents. The waitress and the union ironworker.
The Washington Post column was by Gary Abernathy, a one-time executive director of the West Virginia Republican Party back when it was only a decade away from being meaningful. He now is editor and publisher of a 20,000-circulation paper in Hillsboro, Ohio, dispensing insights into Donald Trump that mesmerize the people inside the Beltway.
Outside that bubble, we call it common sense.
"When Trump entered the presidential field, I gravitated to him immediately. In January 2016, I wrote a column recounting a conversation with a friend in politics who wondered which candidate would win the GOP nomination. 'Trump,' I replied. 'Trump’s not really a conservative,' came the response. 'What’s that got to do with it?' I asked," Abernathy wrote.
"I recognized Trump was reaching Americans who had tuned out politicians who seemed — and were — polished, predictable and programmed. They were voters who cared less about old labels of left and right and more about finding someone who would address issues important to their lives. I realized I was one of those voters."
The politicians failed the people. Trump didn't, hasn't, and won't.
In Washington, they consider the working class to be fools for believing a billionaire can identify with the working class.
But then these same experts turn around and say a billionaire can identify with the poor.
And one more thing, a few weeks ago I had lunch with three millionaires. The guy in the blue jeans was the richest of the three. Of course he supported Trump. He showers at the end of a 12-hour day.

No one who knows Trump's history will ever believe he can't 'identify' with the 'working class.' Look at how he raised his children. Trump is quite at ease dealing with anybody. -- BJ54
ReplyDeleteJunior and Eric can operate endloaders and the like
DeleteExperts at freeloaders as well
DeleteAll his kids support their father.
DeleteUnlike the Demos, whose kids need play jobs.
Trump represents those who wash their hands before they go to the bathroom as well as those who wash their hands after they go.
ReplyDeleteThe primary appeal is to the white working class, and the side benefit of this is that it also appeals to those who share the values of that class. In other words, he appeals to blacks who value work and achievement, to Hispanics who do the same.
ReplyDeleteThe response of the left is to double down on maintaining fences between these groups and pretending that the gulfs between them are impassable.
He's basically using what they call a racist appeal to expose their own racism and bigotry.
The bottom line is that all people have prejudices and prefer their own. The problem that the left has is that it is religiously convinced that these preferences are based in hatred, rather than in love.
The basic genius of Trump is that he realizes that the truth is exactly the opposite.
You DONT get it.
DeleteThe appeal is to those who work (or run a business) for a living, not a welfare leach.
Where did I say the appeal was to a welfare leach?
DeleteTry reading the words instead of mind reading. That's what libs do.
Preach on, Teapartydoc. Your prose were quite clear and quite accurate to all but the trolls who want to see us at each others' throats. Keep preachin'.

When American workers can figure out a way to funnel money to the Trump crime family, then maybe he'll work for them. Meanwhile he fights for Chinese phone companies, Saudis, Qataris, whoever pays the graft tax to the crime family.
ReplyDeleteTrump already works for us.
DeleteYou confuse grifter granny with the potus to your detriment.
.
We know how Trump got rich and we know how hildabeast got wealthy.
.
granny was a grifter whose graft was no longer sellable, all the world's despoys could see she had no influemce to peddle, so jnto Trump's affairs she would have the intelligence agencies meddle
Mornin' nony
DeleteI 'm on my first coffee of the day so let 'er rip.
Regards to your mom son, she obviously has the fortitude of a concrete wall.
You must mean the Ozark Mafia and the Choom Gang.
DeleteAnyone who works in his own small business is for Trump, even as far away as the UK and France. It is the slave masters who supported their overseer Obama and his Iranian born dwarf as they toured the July cotton fields in air conditioned comfort, keeping the rows moving.
ReplyDeleteThe problem DT faces is simply there are more of them than us. Will them or us show up to vote? In a democracy you sometimes get what you deserve, not what you need.
We always get what we deserve. God is sovereign after all.
DeleteIf you're waiting for the Blue Wave, check back in maybe 25 years.
DeleteLast night I listened to The Federalist podcast with NPR's Mara Laisson. She argued that the Democrats needed to find someone who could run in the middle to pick up the disaffected voters. For some reason, she and the host couldn't see that Trump has taken the middle. That's how he won. He appealed not to right-side Republicans, but those in the middle politically who care about the economy, jobs, prosperity and America.
ReplyDeleteShe also, said the Dems should develop a nationalism that is patriotism. Again, Trump's "nationalism" is, as far as I can see, unabashed patriotism, not American superiority or anything as the MSM, DemProgs and NeverTrumpers try to paint it. Trump isn't afraid to sell the Anglosphere way as a the way to prosperity like most Western politicians are. And that does not mean adopting all things Anglo, just secure private property, individual rights, modernity, etc., which are really are human traits first implemented in the Anglosphere, but not ethnically tied.
Well spoken.
DeleteDitto, Ed.
DeleteMara is the smartest Dem on TV. She must be picking up negative vibes from her political sources that they have no plan they feel will be effective to run against DT, yet. They may try the Clinton triangulation mode: finding Democrat service members to run for them or other "lunch box Democrats", all white too,if there are any left alive. They are the most cynical of humankind.
DeleteAs a party, the Democrats cannot run and then govern as centrists as long as the radical Left wing of the party dominates so much of their politics and thinking. Any lone Democrat who wins election as a centrist cannot be trusted to remain so in the face of the inevitable pressure to support the radical liberal policies of the party for the sake of party "unity." The more Trump succeeds, the farther to the left the Democrat Party continues to veer. By 2020 there will be no Democrats who can even PRETEND to be in the center.
DeleteDems have become the Party of transgenders busting in on my daughter in the girls restroom at Target.
DeleteIt's a narrow base.

Don, PLEASE.... Remove the option to comment as anonymous. I am sick of reading the spewed comments of one too cowardly to come out of hiding.
ReplyDeleteNo
DeleteOh, come on, y’all, this site would be way less fun to read if we didn’t have a few Soros-funded Commie Libs like Nony to yell at.
DeleteNony: "Jump!"

ReplyDeleteEven many of the 49% who get more gov't cash than they put in, or whatever definition Romney gave (mostly true), many of them want Trump and more opportunity.
ReplyDeleteAnd many others, like me, were NeverHillary -- and the DOJ/ FBI SpyGate scandals make me more glad every day that maybe America will NOT follow Venezueala down the rat hole.
In discussions with lefty's, it's fun to point out that Karl Marx, and his BFF Engels, were library whores who never worked at a real job in their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe comment about showering really hit home and makes so much sense. I will never forget that line.
ReplyDeleteHuh. I never knew that there were no Black or Latino people working jobs that made them sweat.
ReplyDelete"Trumplicans" were once known as Democrats.
ReplyDeleteCall them whatever you want, or whatever you think they once were. Just so long as they don't VOTE Democrat again. Because they are now woke....to what a Democrat really is. Not that establishment Republicrats are much different.
