It appears that the "white working class" Trump supporters are more concerned about holding

on to their racism and xenophobia and guns then they are about jobs and the economy. Trump is now pumping his crowds with the "Hillary will take away your guns and eliminate the 2nd Amendment" meme. These crowds seem seriously like those shown in pre-WWII videos. All Trump needs to do is grow a mustache. It is really, really scary.

rally, and then the Trump Trump Trump Trump and the GO USA GO USA GO USA GO USA . I was also telling someone they should be watching some of this to see what is going on than ignoring him, they think he will just go away. It's a dangerous movement in this country, in some ways right from the Hitler playbook.

Any jobs plans we have ever had in this country has come from Democrats and most economic stability and improvements have come under Democratic Presidencies. So, yes, it is "amazing,"
