The “middle class” is the part of the citizenry that adhere to ideas that the liberal elites shun as un-enlightened. Many are supporting Trump’s candidacy for the present because he is the only on addressing the uncontrolled immigration isssue. Middle class voters understand that this is a key driver of low wages and unemployment, and so nothing else really matters right now.

Of course all this confounds the two wings of the liberal political elite — Democrats & GOPe — who always want to replay the last election with the same set of focus-grouped issues. Only the faces of the candidates change. I don’t know if Trump will win, but at this point nothing would surprise me.
