And ... Apparently Trump Supporters have more in common with the Dems than they would like to admit.

I certainly have more in common with many blue-collar democrats than I do with establishment Republicans, and I suspect that I am not the only conservative who feels that way. Blue-collar democrats are generally not ideological, and, to the extent that they are ideological, they lean generally conservative. Mostly, however, they cannot stand the Republican party, do no trust the Republican party, and still believe in a Democrat party that no longer exists. They certainly aren't people who I agree with much of the time, but they aren't that different either. As a result of their belief in an old Democrat party, and their contempt of the Republican party, they vote Democrat. But they are not in any way similar to the liberal Democrat wing that controls the Democrat party, a wing made up by wealthy white liberals, kids, and race hustlers. That wing I, along with blue collar Democrats, have nothing in common with. Unlike establishment Republicans.

Look, I don't disagree with anything you say about blue collar workers. They are the salt of the earth and ought to be good conservatives. But they more often than not foolishly waste their votes on a bunch of liberal Democrats. Year after year, election after election.

But they like Trump. I understand that. They may indeed be the difference in the next election. But in the past they have hurt us greatly with their support for the Commie Leftist Democrat Party.

So color me cautious. They may be supporting Trump for reasons that neither of us would be happy with.

And note: Not all of those Dems crossing over are necessarily blue color. I bet Trump pulls at least a few old hippies as well.😊
