I still see the hapless Mike Dukakis' bobble head protruding from that tank, while Kitty was in the fetal position drinking perfume because Lee Atwater felt the need for clarity of message. That is, until his death bed "confession" and plea for forgiveness.

Like my hobby, wargaming,ie playing with little toy soldiers. I don't like playing the eastern front in WW 2. Both sides are bad guys

Trump was elected because a large portion of America is scared of globalization & automation and the resulting loss of jobs / wages they deem "fair."

That does not mean that I cannot think that ~50% of Trump fans are racist. Speaking of people that I know voted for Trump, I can say for certain that least 75% are at least slightly bigoted in some way.

Then again...Trump voter or not... our country has a lot of bigots.

You been saying Trump fans and the majority of Trump voters are white so the presumption is there.

Clinton fucking lost because of the failure of Vietmization to win popular support caused an ongoing erosion of confidence in the various American but illegal Saigon regimes.

Once you break away from the racist angle and focus squarely on the economic aspects you realize that Trump isn't going to repeal NAFTA. Obama also talked about how terrible it was only to leave it bare as soon as he was done campaigning. Those jobs are gone and contrary to the rhetoric NAFTA is not the disaster that politicians keep claiming it to be. It has some downsides but it also has benefits. This country loves our cheap goods well NAFTA has made some of that possible.


If the white working class truly believes that Trump is a jobs creator then how exactly is he going to accomplish it? He is going to be another in a long line of tax cut/big spend Republicans. That model has really been a model for economic success hasn't it?

“I mean, maybe because you’re replacing a charismatic 40-year-old black guy with a 70-year-old white woman,” Rock explains. “That’s like the Knicks replacing Patrick Ewing with Neil Patrick Harris.”

Renegotiate? Trump said he'd repeal it if they don't meet his conditions. Fat chance of that happening. Renegotiate could mean anything. That's a save face move. He has called it the most disastrous trade deal in history. If he means that he must repeal it.

For what it's worth I don't think you can attribute Trump's win to racism. This was an electorate ready to vote for an outsider or a pseudo outsider and Clinton was neither. Bernie was/is.

This is a country that elected Obama twice, as others have pointed out numerous times. That being said, I take it as given that racists are attracted to Trump more to than to Bernie or Clinton. Trump leveraged that attention. While racism is not limited to one party I also take it as a given, as the study provided earlier shows, and as RR has repeatedly pointed out in various threads, that politically active/engaged racists adopt right wing views that often align more with Republican positions than the positions of other major parties. Sort of a not every Trump supporter is a racist, but many racists are Trump supporters kind of thing.

I don't personally agree with it, but I don't think it is outrageous to say that an election that Hillary lost by 100k votes (in 3 states combined) was decided by the 5% (3 million) of Trump voters who are racist.
