We’ve been watching and waiting for a candidate who didn’t suck up to every “cause”....except for us working folks who are picking up the tab...and that includes working women as well as men.

Great view into the minds of elite libs aka Vanity Fair in this case. What they concluded from Trump and Ohio is that Trump was a better Democrat than Hillary was because he said he’ll fight for the jobs rank-and-file Dems need and want, and she didn’t.

Never mind how far off these elite are. Jobs was a Reagan triumph and people remember that he was a Republican. Just keep in mind the “ins” of society whether Dem or Repub and especially East and West Coast “ins” cannot relate to people in flyover country and to them Ohio is definitely that.

Almost all of the U.S. is now made up of “deplorables” if we take a cue from Hillary’s gaffe, in the minds of these “ins”. They have it made. They think America is theirs to politically and economically toy and play around with, and how dare anybody pipe up and say, wait a minute, what about US??

Flyovers are supposed to bow to their betters and busy themselves with fighting over the last crumbs that fell from the table a long time ago...

He won the working class, both white and black. If you want to only recognize the ‘whites’ as the working class, then you are a racist.

When I want to understand what makes President Trump tick, I naturally turn to Vanity Fair first thing.
