they all have jobs and had to work. That's the excuse they're using. If that's the case, then

1) what do they need trump for? I thought all his supporters were the "forgotten Americans" who can't get work because of globalization and bad trade deals.

2) When I was stationed in Washington D.C., even the Navy gave us the day off to attend if we didn't have duty that day.
