What Americans Want

If there is are any pattern emerging from the American primaries, it's this: economic inequality sucks and Establishment politicians are gonna pay for it.  That's why Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are doing so well.  Of course, Hillary Clinton, considered part of the Establishment, also has the most credibility when it comes to being able to close the gap between the rich and poor, which is why she's faring so well.  But don't dismiss the possibility that this election, come November 8, will be a huge protest vote from the American electorate, and that Donald Trump will be the next president.

Their Just Not Getting It

I love The New York Times but they're just not getting it.  This article seeks to explain how Trump's policies may backfire against workers but, after reading half way through, it feels like they're baffling me with bullshit.

In contrast, Trump's message that he'll 'slap a 45% tax on Chinese goods and that'll stop 'em from stealing our jobs' is straightforward, easy to understand and seems to makes sense.

If you're gonna argue against a simple argument, make sure your argument is just as simple and straightforward.  Otherwise, you're gonna lose the Donald Trump voter.  Heck, you lost me, and I'm not even voting for Trump.
