They don’t know what else to do. They criticize Trump for making it up as he goes along but they (the anti-Trump press bandwagon) do the same, make it up as they go along. The difference is Trump has credibility with Americans from all walks of life; the press has virtually zilch.

[a constituency with whom he has barely interacted]

Roto Reuters dings Trump on being out of touch with his constituency, but we all know they will never dare say the same thing about hillary, who can barely stand the presence of anyone except for daughter chelsea and her beeyoch huma.

The left both Democrat and Republican and the MSM and their pundits are scared poopless. They are so afraid that Trump just might win this thing, most of them are going to need an enema before this thing is over. Those Republican common taters on Fox more than most. Poor old George Will and Charles Krauthammer both look like their eyes are turning brown.

I now watch the panel on Special Report for the laughs.
For common sense, I watch Lou Dobbs.

White working class need GOOD jobs the most, because they are tired of part time jobs, sub-standard jobs and no jobs.

Maybe they should read Trump’s immigration plan:

Put American Workers First

Decades of disastrous trade deals and immigration policies have destroyed our middle class. Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000. Across the economy, the percentage of adults in the labor force has collapsed to a level not experienced in generations. As CBS news wrote in a piece entitled “America’s incredible shrinking middle class”: “If the middle-class is the economic backbone of America, then the country is developing osteoporosis.”

The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans – including immigrants themselves and their children – to earn a middle class wage. Nearly half of all immigrants and their US-born children currently live in or near poverty, including more than 60 percent of Hispanic immigrants. Every year, we voluntarily admit another 2 million new immigrants, guest workers, refugees, and dependents, growing our existing all-time historic record population of 42 million immigrants. We need to control the admission of new low-earning workers in order to: help wages grow, get teenagers back to work, aid minorities’ rise into the middle class, help schools and communities falling behind, and to ensure our immigrant members of the national family become part of the American dream.

Additionally, we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm. From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us. The President of the immigration caseworkers union declared in a statement on ISIS: “We’ve become the visa clearinghouse for the world.”

Here are some additional specific policy proposals for long-term reform:

Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.

Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need to companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.

End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.

Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.

Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.

Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women’s plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.

They will now turn this into a race issue. “Uncle Tom” any non-whites who would even consider backing Trump.

It appears, however, to be a constituency with whom he has barely interacted: white working-class voters.

He has 22,500 employees. Only a few are riding around in Trump's jet with him.

Trump has a lot more contact with working class people than this reporter.

One more issue these idiots have no grasp of.

The media hit squads are doing everything they can to terminate Trump, but they don’t understand that that is a big part of his appeal. They aren’t hurting him. They are helping him by proving he’s not just another politician. Americans are tired of politicians.

BTW, I don’t know what’s so wrong with populism.

populism: A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite.

Trump is a populist who appeals to common people. How? He’s offering to do what WE want. Compared to politicians who constantly evolve and others who lie to our faces, Trump is refreshing.

Yea, they were hoping for the Envy crowd to run to Bush, the Millionaire. He isn’t as Rich as Hillary or Lieawatha, but those two really care about the Serfs because they are Democrats, it’s true, really.

Trump worked in the Family Business since he was a Kid and he took it over when his Father Retired.
His Kids will do the same.

That used to be an American tradition, then the Democrats confused the terms Hard Work with Fair Share, or was it Winning Life’s Lottery?

They are going for him in a big way.

But you get a sense of where this is all going. If they can make the case that working class people don't like him, he's an elitist. If it turns out they do go for him its White Identity.

But we're going to find out that people at all stations, all colors, all ethnicities go for him. Democrats are going to vote for him in big numbers. And the reason isn't complicated; he is for them, not as ethnicities, but as Americans. And he says it loudly so everyone gets it.

Others may feel the same way, but the press can't silence him the way it does them. And he doesn't mince words the way most of them do. This is key: you may have another candidate you favor over Trump, but aside from one, they all mince words, measure their words, carefully calculate and focus-group their positions, and they will never get any traction.

Trump doesn't have that problem, he was never the shrinking violet.
