I'm not discounting it; I'm simply not castigating it. It's the traditional method in the US for people to rise in society in the US--each generation does a bit better. If you don't understand that, you are either a foreigner or not a member of the American middle class. Trump isn't satisfied with his role in the plutocracy like most of us--he wants to be an oligarch! And if he is able to find a way to strengthen our country and get what he wants as well, more power to him.
There's advantages and the there's starting with a stacked deck. Also, it's really not that big of an issue if trump and his children didn't pretend like he is self made. He's not. He's had every single advantage a wealthy, white male in this country can be afforded. Well, besides good hair.
You're right. When will white men born to great wealth get a fair shake in this country? I can only imagine Trump's struggles. Do I take 14 or 15 million from daddy? Manicure or pedicure? Blame left or right foot to get out of the draft? Bald gracefully or worst combover in human history?
You must be one of those basement dwellers Hillary has been deriding. Ever ask yourself what basement Chelsea grew up in?
If it makes you feel better to categorize people that way, go for it. You'll have to do a lot of that after trump loses badly in this election. I wonder if there will be any soul searching or attempts to understand why your side lost this time. Ah, who am I fooling, the right will just double down on the crazy and stupid. Your next candidate will have to be worse than trump. Who will it be? Maybe David Duke?
Don't mean to wake you up or anything: it was your honey Hillary who categorized people as basement dwellers. Deplorable, isn't it.
Not surprising you'd take that out of context. Read the 3 sentences that came after that. I think deplorable was a perfect word for Hillary to use.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Name calling of the most offensive kind: "racist, homophobic, xenophobic, blah blah blah." Clearly, she is aiming at the higher part of your nature.
She nailed it. Frankly, I think her language was not harsh enough. Deplorables is succinct and accurate. At this point, the only ones left voting for trump fit that shoe perfectly. Stand by your guy and enjoy that ride to the bottom.
