When Donald Trump stepped out on stage at a recent Miami rally, the Les Misérables classic "Do You Hear the People Sing?" boomed from the audio system. The audience which, let's be honest, probably isn't that into musicals erupted. Cheers filled the arena as the Manhattan socialite-turned-savior of the outcasts took to the podium, saying, "Welcome to all of you deplorables."
In that moment, Trump (or his campaign) found the perfect musical accompaniment to his pugnacious campaign for the presidency. Twisted Sister this wasn't. It was a joyous tribute to the "song of angry men" that underlies Trump's growing support.
At this stage in the game, if the reality show star is going to have a chance against the entrenched Hillary Clinton, he'll need to keep focusing the anger of his backers in new and effective ways. The sad truth is, elections are won not on the strength of ideas. They are won on the fury felt toward the enemy.
Leashing his campaign's message a great big "screw you" to the elites to the Français anthem was a stroke of genius. A great many Americans are POed. They see elites like Secretary Clinton sitting pretty at the top of life, mocking them for being the part of the dirt-rotten hoi polloi.
Like Ernest Defarge, Trump has seized our national moment of perturbation. But instead of charging the castle to commit regicide, the real estate tycoon is going about things democratically. He's run a, so far, successful campaign based on stewing resentment. To dismiss it, as many well off Washingtonians have done, denies politics' most potent force.

What a jerk.
Not sure what that remark means - “probably isn’t that into musicals”.
Does it mean real heterosexual men are the majority of Trump supporters? If so, it’s rather a compliment.
Enjoying musical theater does not make a man a queer. Now if he dreams of designing the costumes . . .
Well, ok....what about ballet?
