This is why Trump is so popular. If you expand this to include blue collar workers that have been savaged over the last twenty years, you can see the vein of anger that he is tapping into.

- MikeTLive 11y agotrumps appeal is many faceted. He draws those with the bully mentality - people who would attempt to make themselves better by beating down those who might be above them. he promises things he knows he can not deliver, but that fit the needs of the people that would vote for him. they can't risk that he might actually be able to deliver and no one else is making those promises, and so they take a chance. like buying lottery tickets with your last dollar.

- padseeker 11y agoI would only make one ammendment to your statement - "people who would attempt to make themselves better by beating down those who might be BELOW them." It's amazing that those who are near the bottom of the ladder will spend more time making sure those that are underneath them stay there rather than look above them.
