18. I think this is accurate

I don't understand his appeal. I can't understand why people think he is telling the truth when he clearly never has. But I think Thomas Frank has a lot to say to Democrats in particular about dismissing the legions of Trump supporters. Democrats have alienated these people through the years, by hitching their wagons to Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Sanders at least was different, which explains his appeal, but Clinton (and honestly every other Democrat I could name) has that same baggage and more.

This will not be fun.
