——and the media can’t?-—

It goes deeper than that, much deeper. Imagine Nancy Pelosi on that stage. She constantly utters blather about the working class, jobs and such.

She has few takers.

THIS is what will focus the minds of people (at least those who matter) about Trump, when all is said and done. Jobs are being created, manufacturing is up, people are feeling better about their economic situation, and most of all: They know Trump has their back.

The dems can spin out all the cutesy little slogans about “better deals” all they want, but Americans with operating brain cells know the Obama economy, artificially propped up by QE, is a laughable comparison to what’s in store with Trump’s administration unshackling industry from the hyper-regulation of the past eight years. The other side will be hard pressed to make its economic case when the U.S. economy hits a higher gear and we start regularly seeing >3% annual growth.

Go to Ohio and name sherrod brown, Michigan and name debbie stabinow, West Virginia and name joe manchin etc. This will get their attention and maybe some cooperation.

Ditto re Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Heidi Heitkamp in ND.

Truer words were never written. Reference your Mike Royko, in the San Francisco Bay Area we once had Herb Caen. He too was a man of the people, loved his city, and would be aghast to see what has happened to the once very memorable City By The Bay.

“Wow. How bad is it when a billionaire real estate tycoon connects with the working class and the media can’t?”

Donalds dad didn’t let him skate by on the wealth created by his father and grandfather.
Young Donald had to WORK during his summer breaks.

He spent his summers rubbing elbows with the working class. He worked at everything from floor sweeper to heavy equipment operator.

He might have gone home each evening to the height of luxury but he spent each day sweating under the same workload and the same sun as the hourly worker who went to a simple place he called home.

Moreover, young Donald LISTENED and heard the frustrations of the men he worked beside as well as their hopes and dreams.

That is how he can connect with us “little people”, he has seen our world up close and personally.

The perfumed princes of the MSM?
Not so much.

They are forcing the Deep State to count heads.

Count the rally attendees, and multiply by the average size of a magazine. That’s what you’ll be facing if you pull the trigger on a coup.
