I agree that Trump is playing that middle 20% of voters.

And it plays out in different ways.

For example, Trump says he's in favor or raising the minimum wage. Now a guy who has a large company knows that if you raise the minimum wage, a lot of people at the low end don't get to work at all.

But I think Trump is supporting a minimum wage increase because most blue collar workers consider it important and he needs their votes.

So he's a pragmatist, and I do believe he has the best interest of the country in mind, just needs to compromise on certain issues to get elected and to save the country.

Boo hoo. They are now trying to blame Trump for being part of pop culture (which is what I said in a positive way a year ago) when it was CLINTON and, to a greater degree, OBAMA that “pop culturized” politics.

From the linked article: "We have been watching Reality TV shows. That is what we love."

What nonsense. Hollywood is attempting to explain why we don't watch their deceptive propaganda.

For example, I know several homosexual people. But I don't interact with them every day or even every week. I am not at all interested in their sex lives and am not entertained by exaggerated mannerisms suggesting homosexuality.

Couple with the newsreaders lies, exemplified by Dan Rather's forgeries, this rules out pretty much all of broadcast TV.

A lot of union bennies are tied to what the statutory minimum wage is, making it much harder to just declare it zero.

Trump might be able to get around this by declaring a set of exceptions, such as for students in school.

There's some wisdom in that song.

With Free Republic, you can "blow up your TV, throw away your paper."

But it's still important to care about what happens to the nation, otherwise, you eventually don't get the chance to build a home, eat a lot of peaches, and find Jesus.

So I look at this election as all those people who went to the country and minded their own business suddenly took a look around and said, "Hey wait a minute. The country has gone to hell in a handbasket. I thought we could trust them, but they done screwed it up. Let's get somebody who thinks like we do and have him throw the bums out."

Yes.....when the People overwhelmingly think Hildabeast to be untrustworthy and as the polls tighten, it is time for the Klintonistas to berate the People as stupid, mind numbed and TV/entertainment addled airheads. Why, the People are FOOLS to not demand that Hildabeast be the new Dear Leader! WTF is WRONG with them!?!?

You know it's bad when the agitprop minions turn on the wisdom of the masses.

That’s quite a photo.

I see the Bear Flag, so it’s in California. Do you know what city?

That photo was posted to a different thread several days ago. Claimed to be taken in West Hollywood.

The problem is that your cable package that *you* pay for funds a ton of liberal trash ... Even if you don’t watch those channels!

I canceled cable TV last year ... It’s a total waste of money. Of course, I’m funding new liberal owned crap like Netflix and Amazon, but I’ll take that over keeping MTV (i.e. the kid political brainwashing network that no longer plays music) and other filth on the air.

To be clear, I’m not being judgemental or anything :-). To each their own ... I just found cable to be a ridiculous waste of money given the other options out there these days.

didn’t Ariana step out the door, or sell Huffington post recently? maybe that has to do with a change of what’s written.

Not just elected, but it will be Trump by a landslide.

There is a channel selection control on my remote control which allows me to select what I watch.

Not so much. Even if you are watching something wholesome, they break in with commercials that would shock a sailor in the middle of a whorehouse. Or give you a soundbite of the propaganda they are going to spew at 6 and 10.

Besides, there is nothing being broadcast anymore that is wholesome, the crap has permeated everything. You can't even watch a football game without being inundated with political correctness.

Ironically, people are still posting that the media is lying. Might as well report that the sun rose this morning.

Well I buy lots of products and services and there are probably liberals getting paid as a result of it. Netflix and Amazon are no better (as you say). Liberals are everywhere. So be it. To each his own.

But the same mindless easily led demographic that dems count on as their lock step voter has now watched Trump for years say "your fired" and enjoyed it, many are going to go vote for him and that has the dems scared. This is the demographic that mindlessly listens to the MSM as good little drones.

Kind of hard for them to get those people who invited Trump in their homes for years to now hate him and go vote for Hillary with all her baggage and unpleasant voice. They do not have the Kardasian vote in total lock down and they know it.(Nor the youth vote, nor the black vote, nor the Jewish vote etc.)Nightmare for dems.
