In 1964 there were only 3 networks, each city had at most 2 newspapers, there were 3 political weekly magazine and 2 pop culture magazines (Look and Life). All pretty much lined up with the same point of view.
At the time, the American voters trusted their politicians, they trusted the news anchors and they trusted the various magazines.
In 1964 they actually believed they had a voice in how the nation was run. In other words, they were naive.
It is now 2016 and the free pass that politicians have been riding on has expired.
The American people no longer trust the major institution, from political office to news outlets, to even large businesses. It would seem all were conspiring against middle Americans, the average Joe that just wants to work, take care of their families and put away a little for their future.
Donald Trump is speaking for them.
If Trump would moderate his message, even a little, the cries of “flip flop” and “hypocrisy” would escape from the lips of every liberal.
I hope Trump does not give an inch.
I for one do not want any bi-party unity because it always means the little guy gets shafted.
Reality versus this out of date beltway pundit acting like a person we listen to.
