13319702, Trump is a dead cat bounce
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Mar-14-19 12:39 PM
Trump's run was literally called the Flight 93 election.

A last ditched effort to save the country from, not sure what from the right wing perspective, but the metaphor signals that folks on the right couldn't deny that there was something very wrong and that the country needed something radical, or revolutionary to fix it.

That's the right wing intellectual view of it. The rank and file stupid yocals were sold on the idea that Trump will save them financially and make them more like him.

The idea that you too can become rich is the pipe dream that has made dummies protect our system for a long time. Trump being the huckster he is is really the first GOP candidate to shamelessly and explicitly told that lie to voters face. Yes it takes an awfully dumb person to believe a trump lie but they did. Now that that lie is being exposed, those yokels are slowly starting to see what's really going on.

Do you see the Repiblican party ever running another Mitt Romney type for President again? See Howard Schutlz. Last go round super rich Ross Perot was able to build some momentum behind the rich guy will fix it mentality. We see none of that with Howard Schultz.


And also Trump lost the popular vote so yea.
