Harvard Students......welcome to America. Its that huge country that exists between the Northeast and the Left Coast. You might want to get to know it some time.

Trump is, like FDR, born into wealth but able to relate to the common man.

Trump, in building his hotels and condos, had to relate to
construction people

Always like to get immersed in detail - is able to respect their talents

I'll bet I did more work by the time I was 16 then all of them put together. Starting with working in Tobacco when I was 14. The best experience was working in a convalescent Home and seeing the real pain and struggles of elderly people down on their luck for the most part and on the way out. If you can't empathize with people after that you have no heart.

You really think Trump was born into wealth like FDR?

Define “wealth”.

We have not stayed in a hotel in many years so I too know B&Bs as we they are our first choice when traveling. Last year we added AirBnB to our options when we traveled over 5 months staying exclusively in B&B and AirBnB accommodations in the South. Of the 14 places we stayed, many of our stays were for extended periods or repeats of places we stayed earlier, only one was a gay couple. They were not flamboyant nor intrusive in any way. The other people staying at the house were varied in backgrounds but shared an interest in history so conversations at breakfast and tea was lively and educational. Actually each of the hosts at every place we stayed was friendly and offered something positive to our travel experience.

My husband and I close on our own B&B property in a couple weeks. I hope we are able to provide our guests a comfortable, relaxing stay with great food and stimulating conversations at the breakfast table, just as we have experienced on our stays with others.

Because he HIRES the common man. He gets to know them all. He understands the common man because he’s not the snobbery elite that are too good to ever lower themselves to actually TALK to the door man, or waitress.

“They admitted they had been fed a steady diet of stereotypes about small towns and their folk: “backwards,” “no longer useful,”

“No longer useful”.

Let that sink in.

I have a simple rule, anything placed beyond criticism is most likely to be absolute crap.

So Harvard and other elites who place themselves on pedestals of their own making and then spend most of their time censoring others who object, yeah crap.

Do these precious children then think of people of color of little education or potential for education as “no longer useful?”

Our elite is a joke.

Lol! They go 90 miles west — still in Massachusetts — and think they’ve touched the soul of the Heartland? That’s like the lord of the manor going downstairs to see how the other half lives.

The elites and their MSM have been missing who we are for a long time. When Reagan won twice, they were shocked and appalled. “How could this happen”.

The little snowflakes should spend some time in the other LA (lower Alabama), middle Tennessee or East Texas for a while.

Maybe they would learn that they aren’t the only ones that matter and maybe learn some manners along the way.

I don’t know about them. But the people “teaching” them certainly do.

The Left hates you and wants you dead.

Prepare accordingly.

"I know b&bs."

I don't. Never stayed at one, and can't imagine why somebody would want to.

I wouldn't feel entirely comfortable overnighting at my aunt Mildred's house, let alone some stranger's, with the proprietor dictating my sleep and dining regimen.

Why would someone find that environment preferable to a private hotel room with a lock on the door and a "do not disturb" sign at the ready?

From Wikipedia:
“Trump’s paternal grandfather, Friedrich Trump, first immigrated to the United States in 1885 at the age of 16 and became a citizen in 1892. He amassed a fortune operating boom-town restaurants and boarding houses in the Seattle area and the Klondike region of Canada during its gold rush.[”

Charles Murray documented this in his book “Coming Apart”. Liberals and especially liberal elites live in separate communities, go to different schools, have different career paths, and separate entertainment preferences. They truly live in a cultural bubble associated with the elite, so they look down on the “dumb” masses.

The idea of Chicopee Mass being the heartland of anything is hilarious. I had the same reaction.

When I think of the heartland, I'm thinking some small town in Indiana or Nebraska.

A play on “Gorillas in the Mist”?
Oh, look, we went into the wild and met real conservatives. We’re not so bad. See, we went on an expedition ...
But 50-50 chance these kids will still protest Chickfila opening on campus and try to shut down the conservative club on campus bringing in Ben Shapiro.
