Last night, it was the Deplorables with the W — ’80 was big. This was bigger.

Indeed, very large parallels to Reagan... as a few of us predicted. Probably similar on Supreme Court additions too, no Marxists.

Ignoring The Art of the Deal was fatal to the Dems, as was their arrogance.

The rich have won everything now. Citizens United will not be reversed for the next 30 years which means that the billionaires in our country can control every election right down to the state level.

The rich were always the problem, but now that they have consolidated complete power, they will turn on the middle class and the poor and start disassembling as much of the social safety net as they can and steal as much of the money as they can.

They may very well take the social safety net all away down to getting rid of Social Security and Medicare. When in all of history, have the rich ever done something for the poor? I know of no instance. And there's no reason why they would now. We are about to turn into a Third World country

We are about to see a most tragic rise in people living in abject poverty. The poor, I know, were hoping that he would help them out, but that will never happen.. The rich will simply get richer and the poor get poorer.
