Will 'bitter' voters keep clinging to Trump?

Two weeks ago, President Obama explained the Trump phenomenon this way to Steve Inskeep of NPR:

"I do think that when you combine that demographic change with all the economic stresses that people have been going through -- because of the financial crisis, because of technology, because of globalization, the fact that wages and incomes have been flat-lining for some time, and that particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck -- you combine those things, and it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear.

"Some of it justified, but just misdirected. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. That's what he's exploiting during the course of his campaign."

I think we have a problem Houston. The Democratic leadership is JUST now figuring out that the common people are suffering and are angry. I think that if they had gone to the grocery store instead of sending their maids to shop they might have noticed it. If they had parked their limos and taken a train or flown coach instead of Falcon they might have noticed that the working people are not doing to well.
