2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Voter says he was uninformed when he cast his vote for Trump [View all]Chasstev365
(5,191 posts)5. ZERO SYMPATHY!
You did not have to be educated to see the hateful bIle Trump spewed was wrong and realize that this Billionaire Populist was a fraud.
When the GOP said "Let the auto industry go bankrupt", but President Obama said no and bailed it out, you did not need a college degree to see who was on your side.
When the President gave us Obama Care and the GOP tried to gut it 30 + times without offer an alternative, you did not have to read poltical theory to know one group sided with the insurance companies and the other was trying to help people.
