The average Chump supporter makes $72,000 per year! The only "pain" they feel is the fact that they - as straight, white Christian conservatives - are losing their privileged status as the primary demographic bloc in his country. This election isn't about economics or jobs but about racism and culture, and for Joe Scarborough to deny that is asinine.
