and defector
https://www.yahoo.com/style/open-letter-trump-voters-top-170000991.html
"Almost a year ago, recruited for my public relations and public policy expertise, I sat in Trump Tower being told that the goal was to get The Donald to poll in double digits and come in second in delegate count. That was it."
"When there was a tweet that contained an error, he would blame it on an intern; when there was a photo containing a World War II Nazi Germany background, he would blame it on an intern; when he answered questions in an overtly controversial fashion, he would claim that he did not properly hear the question. He refused to take responsibility for his actions while frequently demanding apologies from others.
Imagine Trump wronged you, even in the smallest possible way. He would go to the grave denying he had ever done anything wrong to you ever."
Not surprising, but it's good to hear it from someone from the inside. I'm sure Trump will write it off as a disgruntled ex-employee.

Despite the 99% craziness - I actually want to know some of the answers - things we never ask - like - Hell, why can't you buy cheap prescription drugs? healthcare across state lines?, Why can't we get all the offshore money back to US?, Why don't we make foreign countries help pay for us to defend them??

(1,965 posts)I think it's a bit long for the minuscule, gnat like attention spans of drumpf supporters, as well as containing too many big words for them to grasp. At least for the couple drumpfers I work with. Archie and Jughead comic books are about their speed.

(42,770 posts)the knowledge you know. But, guess for most students like that - reality sunk in - in the real world you have to learn - It is so obvious Trump doesn't want to learn more than he has to - and I guess he's probably never been asked to.
