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. .......

“included Hollywood actors and other political leaders”

Wait. What? Since when were Hollywood actors considered to be political leaders? I though Hollywood actors were simply people who make a living pretending like they’re someone else?

Interesting contrast within the same party:

Boxer wants us to know that President Trump is not our friend.

Sally Boynton Brown, executive director of Idaho’s Democratic Party, wants to chair the DNC on a platform that, “My job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt.”

They may not recognize, still, that big government liberalism and identity politics are a tough sell to anyone but the major losers who cost them the recent election.

Well, Barb, neither are you. Trump was the lesser of two enemies.

democrats are like vampires. You have to drive a stake there their hearts or expose them to sunlight or a cross..

But there is always a devoted zombie to sweep up the ashes and slit someones throat to revive them.

Anyone out there know what Hammer film from the 60s that was from?? lol

Too late. Middle class America has already figured out the DemocRATS are their enemy. It’s why Donald Trump won.

My wife was watching the news, about 4pm, about the Northridge Earthquake (Los Angeles 1994).

Boxer was on, and said, “It is appropriate that it happened on this day [Martin Luther King Jr. day], because it represents the suffering of these people...”

This clip was never aired again. We watched for it at 5pm, 6pm, ... nope.

Glad Barbie is gone (but we got Kamal, I was hoping for Sanchez).

Unfortunately for Barbara Boxer, the “middle class” ain’t stupid.

Yeah like she and the rest of the uniparty is.

NOT.

IF Trump isn’t, the middle class has zero friends.

He is more for the middle class than anyone - ANYONE ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY - is.

The left is for the crimmigrants and race baiters.

They have already tried to convince us of so many things. They cannot imagine that we have a mind of our own, their supporters do not.
