“Where was Donald Trump in the days and months and years after 9/11,” Crowley said. “He didn’t stand at the pile. He didn’t lobby Congress for help for the first responders. Nope. He cashed in, collecting $150,000 in federal funds intended to help small businesses recover even though days after the attack Trump said his properties were not affected.”

>> "Donald just today came out for a $10 one." >> Really? Up from "the MW is too high"? This is what government will do. It doesn't matter who is elected. They're going to debase the currency, inflate the hell out of everything, in an effort to make people, who are losing more and more by the year AS A RESULT OF TRILLION DOLLAR PLUS DEFICITS, think they aren't losing. So, during Obama's 8 years, real household incomes have dropped by 10% or so. We're all poorer than we were. Some of us just don't understand that. Over the next 30 years as the wheels come off, this inflation rate will grow with the rate of increase increasing year by year. And we'll all wake up in Venezuela.

Yep. He found out that his constituency didn't agree. So he dropped the "Americans make too much" to "fighting for the middle class". Which is why he supports such things as Social Security and universal healthcare. Much to the shock of Republican stalwarts, their base is not committed to things like small government, killing unions, eliminating the minimum wage or Social Security or a whole host of conservative ideals. They are against "Obamacare" in general, but really like something very much like it. So changing the name is probably enough. In other words, the Republican base is really center left as polls have established a long time ago. It is just the social wars that keeps them voting against their economic interests. Which bodes ill for the Republicans regardless of what happens in this elections. If the Democrats can come up with a modern Huey P. Long with a focus on inequality, he can likely win an election in a landslide.
