Forgive me going all caps, but I am cutting and pasting from a personal email I sent out a short while ago - and I was EXCITED :-)
PREDICTION: YOU WILL BE SHOCKED WHEN YOU FIND OUT WHAT % OF DEMOCRATS IN THE RUST BELT VOTED FOR TRUMP. THAT IS MY PREDICTION. ITS NICE TO BE CORRECT ONCE IN A WHILE.
I SAID A YEAR AGO THAT I SUPPORTED TRUMP BECAUSE:
A. I WANTED HIM TO STICK IT TO THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT. AND HE DID.
B. I DIDN’T KNOW IF HE WOULD WIN, BUT I WAS 100% CERTAIN THAT HE WAS THE ONLY REPUBLICAN WHO COULD WIN. AND I WAS RIGHT THERE TOO.
NONE OF THE OTHER 16 OR SO POLITICAL CLOWNS WHO RAN AGAINST HIM IN THE PRIMARIES COULD HAVE FLIPPED A SINGLE RUST BELT STATE.
F_ THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. TRUMP RAN AS A PROTEST AGAINST THE STATUS QUO, BUT HE WOUND UP LEADING A MOVEMENT.
AMERICA FIRST. PROTECT OUR BORDERS. PROTECT OUR JOBS. GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE. AND THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE IN APPALACHIA AND THE PEOPLE IN THE INNER CITIES WHO HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN AND LEFT BEHIND. GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO GET JOBS AND PULL THEMSELVES OUT OF THE POVERTY THEY ARE IN. WELFARE ONLY PERPETUATES THAT STATE. OPPORTUNITY IS THE CURE TO IT.
I HOPE TRUMP COMES IN AND CLEANS HOUSE - LEFT AND RIGHT. THIS IS NOT A PARTY THING. ITS AN AMERICA THING. CALL IT POPULISM, OR WHATEVER. I’LL CALL IT COMMON SENSE.
RUST BELT won this for Trump. I called this months ago. Trump’s message really resonated with the Rust Belt. Now it will resonate with all of America as we make ourselves great again.
Fox Business News said 50% of PA union members voted for Trump.
You can't win when 50% of your base votes for the other party.
All your base are belong to us!
For great justice!
