Like Reagan, Trump is pulling in the working class. middle class and probably union members (not their leaders).
He’s getting a lot of the working class and middle class because they are worried about the economic future themselves and the future of their children.
Part of that is the flood of illegal immigration and even visas for foreign workers coming in to replace Americans (as happened in the Tech Industry - Americans trained their foreign replacements) because it makes their jobs even more insecure, given the export of American industries in “global trading.”
People don’t trust the integrity of American industry and business leaders and trade negotiators. They are sick of the socialists we have in both parties. They don’t the the shame faced loser Uncle Sham game to please the left. They are capitalists and want to support themselves and their children and buy houses, etc. They want to be a wealth and powerful country...not a global cog in the socialist wheel.
Any citizen has to see the invasion is not to our advantage as a nation. Here in Texas, he’s appealing to working and middle class Hispanic and Black citizens who want to work. He’s not appealing to illegals and he’s not appealing to the welfare mob. The people of Texas know about the crime of South American and central American criminals and gangs.
Personally, I am not sure he will not turn liberal on us having held some radical New York Democrat positions in the past.
I trust Cruz on the constitution, which is the most important issue to me...not so much on economic globalism. But I wish he was not for bringing in foreign workers via visas with so many Americans are out of work and knowing that corporations CEO’s lie about not being able to find American workers...they want cheap rights-stupid, third world workers.
“I trust Cruz on the constitution...”
I use to like Cruz, until he voted for TPA (he was for it before he was against it). TPA handed Obama much more power He voted for the Corker amendment (Obama agenda) along with all the Republican senators except Cotton. That monstrosity has the potential of destroying us all. He sought a large increase in the H-1B visas, and has called for more legal immigration, if you can believe that.
