A New York Times article from last September that went viral only recently: Crying Wolf, Then Confronting Trump. It asks whether Democrats have “cried wolf” so many times that nobody believes them anymore. And so:
When “honorable and decent men” like McCain and Romney “are reflexively dubbed racists simply for opposing Democratic policies, the result is a G.O.P. electorate that doesn’t listen to admonitions when the genuine article is in their midst”.
I have a different perspective. Back in October 2015, I wrote that the picture of Trump as “the white power candidate” and “the first openly white supremacist candidate to have a shot at the Presidency in the modern era” was overblown. I said that “the media narrative that Trump is doing some kind of special appeal-to-white-voters voodoo is unsupported by any polling data”, and predicted that:
If Trump were the Republican nominee, he could probably count on equal or greater support from minorities as Romney or McCain before him.
Now the votes are in, and Trump got greater support from minorities than Romney or McCain before him. You can read the Washington Post article, Trump Got More Votes From People Of Color Than Romney Did, or look at the raw data (source)
Trump made gains among blacks. He made gains among Latinos. He made gains among Asians. The only major racial group where he didn’t get a gain of greater than 5% was white people. I want to repeat that: the group where Trump’s message resonated least over what we would predict from a generic Republican was the white population.
Nor was there some surge in white turnout. I don’t think we have official numbers yet, but by eyeballing what data we have it looks very much like whites turned out in equal or lesser numbers this year than in 2012, 2008, and so on.

Yes please.
Well wait and see what he does the workers havnt got anything to lose after being ignored as you say for decades, hence voting for anything but the norm, i havnt a clue what he has offerd them, but it seems to have worked they have made there choice and as such should be respect.
as for the weasle words I don't think any side has the moral high ground on that score here or the USA.
Have whatever agenda you like,say what you like I don't have a problem with it, more differing views the better makes the place more exciting.

I don't know what her policies are, but more than likely yes. I don't support globalists.
Is she really that bad or is it the media?

This in a nutshell. I don't think for a second we want Trump to implode - I think the right in this whole process have tended to fight with speculation about Hilary while the left have just used whats actually come out of Trumps own mouth.
But the War is over, there was a victor and now its time to see what happens next for the good of us all.
Don't really know a lot about her but her dad was a bit of a knob.
I was reading a piece about her the other day looks like she has a firm support base and she has the worried over there seem to think she could win the presidential elections.

Whenever I've seen her in interviews she's come across well, which is in stark contrast to her criticism.
From what I've heard the main establishment parties might come together to block her, but who knows after Brexit and Trump winning, she could well become the leader of France.
It would be good if she dismantled the EU though.
Anyway it would be pretty sexist not to support her. #Imwithher
I know nothing about French politics, but with all of the recent terror attacks it wouldn't surprise me if she won. Especially now thst Trump has won.
Got the Italian vote on December the 4 I think before then, they. Have turned a pretty small vote into a vote of confidence in there leader.Whenever I've seen her in interviews she's come across well, which is in stark contrast to her criticism.

Going to go tits up soon with the way the EU is dealing with there debt, they stick to there own rules Italy is in the mire.
She was a lawyer so. Should be a decent speaker.

I think the Austrian election is on the 4th of December too. They've had to repeat it because of voter fraud.
I think we'll definitely witness more political upsets.
