People know what Trump would do. He stands by his word. Go Trump!

[MNnice]

I had no idea I was a populist in the tradition of William Jennings Brian. Thanks, Dr. Reich, for educating me. You moron.

Obama and friends have developed crony capitalism into an art form.No wonder working people are pissed.If the next election doesn’t start to fix the problem,folks may seek other remedies.

...An anthem for all of those that have grown weary of good for nothing freeloading pinheads, and demand for themselves their long fought for independence from the tyrannical commands of mediocrity.

blunderbuss and his scapegoating of immigrants.

Oh, ok....so, we're ALL RACISTS!

Robert Reich comes up short, again.

"I also began to understand why many of them are attracted to Donald Trump. I had assumed they were attracted by Trump’s blunderbuss and his scapegoating of immigrants. That’s part of it. But mostly, I think, they see Trump as someone who’ll stand up for them – a countervailing power against the perceived conspiracy of big corporations, Wall Street, and big government. "

A committed communist understands what the entire GOP advisory class does not.

It is immigration stupid!!! that is why some of us are turning away from business and the C of C. It is because of their fecklessness, duplicity and treachery. As the scales fall from our eye we tend to see other issues that we did not choose to see in the past. Like the coprporate media and the less these business type pay in taxes the more they spend.

Immigration is a winning issue among working class whites, Hispanics, blacks, and asians.

Isn’t the author by his own admission Robert Reichshhhhhhhh?

[MortMan]

Most of the people I met in America's heartland want big money out of politics, and think the Supreme Court's "Citizens United" decision was shameful.

Clearly, the man is an idiot who doesn't know any live-brained people.

Citizens United puts corporations (collections of people banded together for a common goal) on the exact same footing as labor unions (collections of people banded together for a common goal).

"Shameful" is what one calls a government which claims first rights on one's property, including money, without offering representation at all. Hmmm... Wasn't that a major basis for the little 18th century disagreement we had with the British?

Because like Putin, he’s not ashamed of being white.

In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake

” A surprising number think the economic system is biased in favor of the rich “

It is not the rich that are the problem, the problem are the ones in power who write laws that favor the rich but on the outside make the laws look like they favor the poor.

[backwoods-engineer]

Oh, please. Robert B. Reiiiiiich and his commie cronies always assume “populism” because they themselves have no values, and assume everyone else doesn’t, either. The head-shrinkers call that “projection.”

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

I don’t need little Bobby Reich to tell me that a lot of Trump supporters hate the rich just as much as the “Occupiers” do. See it here every day.

[MNJohnnie]

Hmm let see

Lowest labor participation rate since 1978

Maybe they are listening Mr Reich because the progressive polices you, and the rest of the Politcal class, have embraced have so utterly failed for 30 years to do anything but destroy the US working class?

[MNJohnnie]

I have to laugh. Reich, One of the biggest Clinonite pimps of Crony Capitalism writes here whining about Crony Capitalism!

[MNJohnnie]

Mr Reich,

The things that resonates about Trump is he has proven leadership skills and he brings an outsider view.

For the last 30 years we have elected career politicians to DC. Most notably your personal hero Bill Clinton Mr Reich.

Career politicians see everything in terms of politics. They look for a political answer to any problem. We need someone who will look at the problem, listen to his advisers, then say “this is the right thing to do” rather then “this is the politically correct thing to do”.

For a change we need to send someone to DC who has the leadership skills to surround himself with good people, the habit of listening to the advice of those experts instead of his political advisers, and the backbone to make the tough decisions. We need someone to go to DC and say “this, this and this is nonsense, we aren’t doing that any more no matter what the Donor class says”

A career politician, being part of the party machine, is not even going to see those issues in that light. Instead he is going to see the politics of the issue. It just how they are wired.
