Chris Matthews is asked what working-class voters thinks about Donald Trump and explains the "patriotic feelings" Trump elicits. Matthews said Americans feel that the elites have betrayed the country and the country itself has let them down.

"A lot of this support for Trump with all his flaws which he displays regularly is about the country. Patriotic feelings people have," Matthews said Friday. "They feel the country has been let down. They feel that our elite leaders on issues like immigration, they don't regulate any immigration it seems, they don't regulate trade to our advantage, to the working man's or working woman's advantage, they take us into stupid wars. Their kids don't fight but our kids do. It's patriotic. They believe in their country."

That interview with Matthews makes it sound like the liberals are giving up. They know what’s going on, they can’t stop it.

Personally, I think they see it. But as part of the establishment, they have to fight against it.

They have found themselves in the position of fighting against us little people in favor of the designated, establishment queen to be crowned.

They don’t seem proud of themselves at all.

These same talking heads spewing about "elites" - it's sickening. There is just NOTHING about these "leaders" that is elite, except for the colleges they attended. None is experienced in living in the world under the rules they write. None is expert at dealing with people of other stations. While they fashion each other as bright, they are usually catastrophically wrong.

In the end, the Washington establishment needs to be destroyed and Trump is the perfect hand grenade.

Very true. It is fairly well known that Hillary is a muzzy convert - recruited by Jimmy Carter.
