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. .......

The problem is that the voters, who elected Trump have a healthy disrespect for both media elites and political elites. Therefore, the “we” must “make” them understand is going to fail. The voters understood that Hillary was a liar and was only looking out for themselves.
Your real problem is that Trump is making “nice” with big construction unions over the promise of jobs and he will ask them to support his programs. That means that when he jaw-bones the Big 3 automakers into more jobs, and the pipelines deliver more jobs and all the businesses that have promised more jobs, THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE UNIONS are going to applaud Trump.
Frankly, Barbara you don't stand a chance. I suspect that reality is starting to dawn on you and the other leaders of the Democratic Party. What is probably even worse is that your status as a Super Delegate means that roughly half of the Democratic Party that supported Sanders doesn't respect you either.
BS! He made it the same as it was prior to obola’s last minute lowering of standards/interest rates for LOW CLASS buyers of sub-prime loans! Middle Class my arse!
Former Senator Barbara Boxer, boy does that have a nice ring to it.
Trump isn’t Romney, GWB, McCain etc.
Gone are the days when coke addled narcissists and media types -— but I repeat myself -— determine how we think.
I will tell you who is not my friend. These paid celebu-shills and their IQ challenged leader, Boxer.
The Democrats have eliminated most of the middle class. Now they want to say they are the friend of the class they eliminated?
They should be treated as “court jesters” - nothing more.
“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.”
Notice how the panel includes 5 people that are almost certainly part of the 1% (not to say completely out of touch with reality as their lives involve dress-up and play pretend no matter if they’re Hollywood or political types) and a BLM activist who more than likely will be 1% after milking a few more dollars from that “movement’s” media fund.
Amazing.
Well, they did such a great job making The Middle Class Understand That Democrats are Not Their Friend..................
“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.”
Does anybody know what order that imbecile is lying about?
Government subsidies increase prices once the market has adjusted to them.
I’m kinda glad she did!
“democrats are like vampires. You have to drive a stake there their hearts or expose them to sunlight or a cross..”
More like Freddie Krueger or Jason Voorhees; they’re not truly gone until it’s no longer profitable to resurrect them.
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.
Got to give Rush Limbaugh credit here, even though he dumped me, because for years he’s always said that Dems need to hide and lie about what they stand for, while conservatives need to explain truths to people to show what they stand for.
More screeching from the vampires as they get splashed with the Holy Water.
I think the middle class is enjoying this show.
And you were our friend?
Have any of these posers ever MET a middle-class person?
No, Botox, Trump did NOT make it more expensive for middle income home buyers to buy homes. Trump rescinded a last minute executive order from Obama, thus leaving costs exactly as they were.
So this genius SHJ needs to make us understand huh? It’s exactly that condescending attitude that the middle class, particularly the white MC has been leaving the Dimwits in droves.
Screw you Boxcar . . if anyone needs lessons and counseling, it’s you
John Wayne is dead.
Rest of the “stars”, can kiss off.
