One would have to be completely ignorant and naive to believe that a billionaire real estate and gambling mogul would change the economy for the betterment of the lower classes.
NO! DNC screwed Bernie Sanders! Trump won because people hated Hillary Clinton!!! I voted Jill Stein, Green Party. I voted blue today because trump is dangerous so we need to cripple GOP in Congress. 2 party system is corrupt so hoping more people will work to support 3rd party movement, rank choice voting & progressive values. The economy has been in the tank for most Americans for decades, since Ronald Reagan cut taxes for the rich & Bill Clinton put nail in coffin. This guest is a jerk
And now the most important question of all, what about Russian meddling?
and it's going to be him winning next time if the democrats don't change (which they won't)
