  1. See a lot of that. But we've had 4 years of campaigning against Trump in the public schools. If young people turn out, it could be bad for Trump. They don't know anything, and most of what they do know just ain't so.

  3. ​ @OSYofRR  : For DECADES I've watched Dems score rhetorical points with emotional arguments that resonated with low-info voters. So it's funny as hell watching him give speeches, just knowing how Dems DESPISE the way he pushes voters' buttons with very simple, simply expressed, low-brow type arguments that he KNOWS - by playing the t.v. ratings game for over a decade with his reality-tv shows. His crudities aren't really very crude, when you compare them to the way REAL people talk to one another on a daily basis. This is what America's all about: offending the sensibilities of tea-and-crumpets aristocrats. REAL Americans know that to accomplish just about ANYthing worthwhile, you have to hack your way past entrenched elites and would-be aristocrats. Real Americans DESPISE the holier-than-thou, preachy types that infest the upper echelon of legacy institutions. As educated white trash, I find Trump very refreshing. As a (poor) student of history, I see most of our progress in the large as NOT the result of intellectuals breaking things down and leading us to the Promised Land, through logically sound and reasoned arguments. Positive change doesn't come from flowery speeches. Real, positive change is some schmuck in his garage inventing a better mousetrap! We evolve in SPITE of our 'leaders.' We notice the 'leaders' who preside over sea changes, or appear to. But the sea changes are always ground-up affairs, and 'leaders' are just the few who see which way the wind is blowing, or who just happen to be in the right place at the right time to be noticed. But 9 out of 10 times, what they actually do is observe the parade and race to the front with a big, fancy baton and taking credit.
