Barbara Boxer: We Have To Make The Middle Class Understand That Trump Is Not Their Friend
RCP video ^ | 1-25-2017 | Ian Schwartz

In a roundtable interview with MSNBC's Chris Jansing that included Hollywood actors and other political leaders, former Sen. Barbara Boxer said "we" have to "make" the middle class understand that Trump is not their friend. The panel included Jamie Lee Curtis, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D), a Black Lives Matter activist, and Tony Goldwyn, star of ABC's Scandal and grandson of MGM studio mogul Samuel Goldwyn.

"I want to jump in with something specific that he did on the very first day that didn't get that much coverage," Boxer said. "There was an order that was signed that made it more expensive now for middle income home buyers to buy homes, and as a result, tens of thousands fewer Americans will do it. We have to make sure that the middle class understands he's not their friend."

"In our case as celebrities or actors, we can -- we're useful in convening people. Like people come show up sometimes just because they want a selfie," Goldwyn said of their importance. .......

In other words, they have to convince the middle class that the status quo is better than true full employment, that astronomical taxes are better than reduced government, and that a single-minded drive to murder the unborn is an improvement over reverence for the unborn babies that are murdered.

In other words - she wants us to get even stupider than we have been.

OH? And who is Ms. Boxer? Just out of curiosity, how much has your OWN net worth grown in the past 8 years? How much greater is that than the average middle class household?

Just think about it.

Barbara Boxer could not identify what a “middle class” American is, in a room full of them.

She probably does not recall the last time she had a conversation with a real, honest-to-God middle class individual. She is operating with badly skewed judgment and very incomplete data.

She is unaware of either handicap.

Yeah, the democrats should continue trying to destroy manufacturing, mining, drilling, logging, farming, steel making, industry of all kinds, healthcare, free markets, gun ownership, religious freedom, our traditional American culture, borders, the constitution, liberty itself. That’ll teach the middle class what’s good for them.

Wait... didn’t Democrats just have 8 long years to demonstrate how they are such great friends of the middle class?

These liberals really, truly believe that if only they have the right “message” and get this “message” out to people that they will bamboozle enough people.

Eight years of controlling the agenda along with a sycophantic media and they STILL are talking about a message — no actions, just message.

These people are absolutely scared to death of President Trump. He has done more in his first week than the shuckin’, jiving’, and golfin’ Obama did while in office. The see, and know, that Trump is cutting into their base and making serious long term inroads and they are petrified.

“Barbara Boxer: We Have To Make The Middle Class Understand That Trump Is Not Their Friend”

Bbbbbyyyyyyy giving us more gay marriage? By turning blacks against whites...by turning blacks against the police, by allowing more violence against every single county that voted for Trump...Maybe making us pay higher taxes so it can be redistributed...oh oh oh I know, by continuing to go after guns and the 2A....No no no better yet forcing the military to makes transgenders a protected species is the military, because those of us that have served/serve we lllloooooovvvvvveeeeee that. Sorry, the Democrats/Left are so woefully out of touch with what “American’s” want.

Dear Barbara...they know now the Democrats are not their friends. They got NOTHING but words from you. So THEY chose Donald Trump. Your party had its chance, it failed them, now you are history.
