    Trump's angry white men – and why there are more of them than you think

    White Americans feel more angry than black Americans, according to a November survey of 3,257 US adults by Esquire and NBC.

    White people were more likely than black people to say their current financial situation isn’t what they thought it would be when they were younger, and they were also more likely to put that down to difficult cir stances rather than “wrong choices”.

    Trump understands these white men – or at the very least, he understands that these white men want a politician who understands them. It was these voters that Trump was speaking to when he said last year:

    And if you look at black and African American youth, to a point where they’ve never done more poorly. There’s no spirit.
    This is more than just opportunism – Trump gets it. Of course, the history of American politicians is the history of many, many white men, but there’s something unique about Trump’s whiteness and his masculinity. He is distinctly unashamed of either trait, and is unwilling to even pay lip service to the notion that they were beneficial to his success. In a 1989 NBC interview, for example, he made his point:

    A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that … I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.
    Liberals may respond with rolled eyes or outrage, but for men like the hypothetical Michael, quotes like these are evidence that Trump is simply willing to state facts others are too cowardly to say. Michael still probably wouldn’t think of himself as racist – 10% of white Americans think white Americans are racist. But 38% of those white Americans think black people are racist.

    When asked why black Americans have worse jobs, incomes and housing on average than whites, 45% of white Americans in 2012 said it was because “blacks don’t have the motivation or willpower to pull themselves out of poverty”.

    The fact that most media organizations do not repeat these beliefs – aka “facts” to some who hold them – merely entrenches the feeling that the mainstream, “lamestream” media cannot be trusted.

    Of 36 organizations listed, Fox News stands out as the crucial source to 88% of conservatives who say that they trust the information they receive from the channel.


    Republicans were more likely to believe in Bigfoot, government TV mind control and diseases invented for pharmaceutical companies to profit than Democrats were.

    White Americans were more likely to believe those claims than black Americans, and in most cases, men were more likely than women to believe the conspiracies listed in the survey.

    One theory is particularly important: 37% of Americans think global warming is a hoax. That number rises to 39% when you only look at male respondents, 41% for white respondents and 58% for Republicans. With that in mind, it’s easier to understand who the audience is when Trump makes statements like these:

    With all this in mind, Trump’s rising political fortunes aren’t surprising at all. Polling shows he is more popular among Americans that are white than those who aren’t, and more popular among Americans with penises than those without. Often, these white men are also working or middle class and middle-aged

    Those men represent a significant voting block in a country which is still 62% white. When those men want to hear from someone who is willing to stand up for them, Donald Trump is only too willing to oblige. And, when what’s “right” is about unapologetically refuting facts, Trump can’t go wrong.

    http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...e-donald-trump

    White guy losers say they're screwed because of cir stances, not because of bad choices, but they say blacks are screwed by their own bad choices, not by cir stances (like being born black, poor)

    Muslim woman expelled from Trump rally: They asked me, ‘Do you have a bomb?’





    The 56-year-old Muslim woman who was seen on video being harassed after being kicked out of a Donald Trump rally on Friday described both the pleasant encounters and “ugliness” she encountered during the event.
    “One guy was saying, ‘Get out — do you have a bomb? Do you have a bomb?’ Rose Hamid told CNN host Don Lemon.

    “I said, ‘No. Do you have a bomb?’ They were saying ugly, ugly things. One guy was saying, ‘God is great.’ I said, ‘Yeah, God is great.'”

    Footage of the rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina captured the moment when Hamid — wearing a shirt that read “Salam, I come in peace” — and a man identified as Marty Rosenbluth were led out of the event by a police officer, and two men subsequently harassed her.

    As she was being led out,
    Trump said, “There is hatred against us that is unbelievable. It’s their hatred, it’s not our hatred.”

    Why Would a Man Vote for Hillary Clinton?

    Posted January 9th, 2016 @ 9:51am in #Trump #clinton

    If you have been following the Master Persuader series in this blog, you know that the influence stack goes like this:

    Iden y beats analogy

    Analogy beats reason

    Reason beats nothing

    Most of the candidates are trying to make an appeal to reason, and failing, because reason beats nothing. Rand Paul has lots of reasons. Some might be darned good. No one cares.

    Trump says he wants to “make America great again” which is a pure iden y play. Voters enjoy – at a visceral level – the idea of having a national iden y that makes them proud. According to the Master Persuader stack, Trump is a full layer of influence above the others. And it shows.

    But what about Hillary Clinton’s iden y message? Clearly she appeals to strong, alpha women who identify with her political strength and impressive success.

    But what about men?

    Now that Clinton has played the woman card, and said in a public debate that her gender is a selling point for the job of president, how does a man vote for that?

    Well, first we must acknowledge that all people are different. Roughly speaking, I would say 20% of men are alpha types, 20% are pure betas, and 60% are lifestyle betas – meaning they have made a conscious decision to control their ambitions and base desires in order to focus on the needs of their families.

    My prediction, based on the Master Persuader filter, is that a majority of male Democrats will abandon Clinton in the privacy of the voting booth. Remember that iden y always beats reason, and Clinton has made it clear that in her view, men had their turn.

    A big chunk of Democratic men might be lying, for social reasons, about supporting Clinton. They might lie to friends and they might lie to pollsters. But on voting day, in the privacy of the voting booth, no lying is required. On voting day day, people vote for iden y.

    If you are wondering how President Obama got elected in a world where iden y rules, it is because he never played the race card. That made it safe for the public to create iden ies for themselves as open-minded. (Yay for us!) So that was a special case.

    I can’t see any scenario in which Clinton wins the male vote in her own party.

    Then there’s this article that suggests Clinton’s support is soft.

    The survey by Washington-based Mercury Analytics is a combination online questionnaire and "dial-test" of Trump's first big campaign ad among 916 self-proclaimed "likely voters" (this video shows the ad and the dial test results). It took place primarily Wednesday and Thursday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

    Nearly 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they'd cross sides and vote for Trump, while a small number, or 14 percent, of Republicans claim they'd vote for Clinton. When those groups were further broken down, a far higher percentage of the crossover Democrats contend they are "100 percent sure" of switching than the Republicans.

    When the firmed showed respondents the Trump ad, and assessed their responses to each moment of it, it found "the primary messages of Trump's ad resonated more than Democratic elites would hope."

    About 25 percent of Democrats "agree completely" that it raises some good point, with an additional 19 percent agreeing at least "somewhat."

    Mercury CEO Ron Howard, a Democrat whose firm works for candidates in both parties and corporate clients, concedes, "We expected Trump's first campaign spot to strongly appeal to Republican Trump supporters, with little impact – or in fact negative impact – on Democratic or independent voters."

    Trump didn't say Cruz was not eligible. He just said people are talking about, and a lot of people are talking about it (mostly him). Even some legal scholars believe he may not be eligible.
    Trump needs to lay off the birther . It once blew up in his face with Obama. Why does he continue doing it? Because he sees Cruz is surging and it's a threat.

    If only Trump realizes now that he has no shot at the presidency, he would save himself a lot of grief.

    Trump praises ‘maniac’ North Korean dictator for consolidating power by slaughtering family members

    “And you’ve got to give him credit — how many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals and all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?” Trump went on, according to The Hill.

    “Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss. It’s incredible,” Trump said.

    “He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. I mean this guy doesn’t play games.”

    If so, (I doubt it, too long and elaborate) then I bet nearly all his stupid supporters took it seriously.

    His comments about the Korean Strong Man align with the American Strong Man he's running as and that his "good German" supporters are longing for.

    Trump Calls Bill Clinton 'An Abuser'

    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in an interview aired Sunday and called her husband and former President Bill Clinton "an abuser."

    Trump has taken jabs at Bill's infidelities in recent weeks. Hillary commented on Trump's attacks Sunday and said that it was his prerogative to "engage in personal attacks from the past."

    Trump didn't let up during an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" and mentioned the reports of sexual abuse against Bill.


    "She's married to an abuser," Trump said. "A woman claimed rape, and all sorts of things. I mean, horrible things."

    Donny, would you legislate to confiscate guns from abusive male partners?



    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/09/men-killing-women-domesti_n_5927140.html

    or, Donny, do you have POLICIES about reducing men-on-women violence?

    those women you call dogs, fat pigs, that "bleed from wherever" and are unspeakably "disgusting" in restrooms?

    Cruz is sure playing it that way. He's not attacking Donny,

    1) not to alienate, and pick up Trump's assholes if Trump collapses

    or

    2) be picked as Trump's Anchor Baby Veep

    Trump/Krazy Kruz ticket would lose 65% - 35%, losing women, blacks, Hispanics, LGBT, young, "independents"
