Trump is pandering to angry old white folk "victims"...

If you would like to see this played out live in living color, one place is...

Particularly entertaining is the schism created among the scumbags who previously identified as "Conservatives" based upon those who are buying Donald's bullshit and those who aren't. IT IS PRICELESS

Sanders is pandering to old, angry, white liberals.

White people are pissed off.

I would argue that Sanders is channeling his supporters anger in the appropriate direction.

Sanders is pandering.

I think he is bringing out what is really wrong with this American system of capitalism.

Old, young, inbetween, the bankers and the uberwealthy have made this dream country a place
that no one has job security or home security, or food security any more. And by home security I don't
mean a gun.

I am an old angry white liberal that is tired of the status quo and I will be voting my conscience.

it is often "entertaining" when a person normally involved in the system as a defendant/victimizer is suddenly cast in the part of a "victim" in a particular case. They often try and milk that role for all it is worth in a breathtaking display of hypocrisy----- much like what many Trump supporters are doing now.
