Ask any Trump voter from Oregon to Texas and they’re voting for Trump to make America great again. This is a clean, elegant, concise phrase that achieves versatility through its strong appeal to a universal sense of patriotism.
Some see it as a moronic dog whistle for working class white voters who blame diversity and immigration for the stagnation of their incomes. That's what you'll hear from any democratic voter, as well as a lot of republicans that aren't going to buy the demagoguery.
"Duh, we used to have increasing incomes, but real incomes have been decreasing for decades. It must be the liberals fault. It must be immigrants fault."
IT couldn't possibly be the fault of our low taxes on upper increments of income, misplaced priorities, or decreased govt investment in things like infrastructure, and higher education and the commons.

Speaking of the Donor Class, theKoch Brothers won't pay to run anti-Hillary ads.

And some people never get deliberately hyperbolic enthusiasm (or are deliberately not getting it in order to smear). #CENTIPEDE

Use this thread to post the happenings of the Democratic National Convention: I'll start:
The schedulers are trying to bring out non-booable performers in order to silence the voice of the Bernie Sanders supporters
--A handicapped woman in a wheelchair, replete with a speech impediment
--Al Franken (senator, former comedian)
--Sarah SIlverman (comedian)
--Paul SImon singing "Bridge over troubled water"
The worst part is, it seems to be working. The Bernie-or-bust people need to step up their game. EVERYONE should be booed. The above scheduling is just manipulation, and should be seen as such.
