"My whole life I've been greedy, greedy, greedy...."

[Lodestar]

Sounds like the answer to the Jeopardy question - What a 1%er would say, or a line by Gordon Gekko from the film Wall Street....or just another Trump stump speech.

Perhaps Donald Trump actually is the world's greatest negotiator. He boycotted Thursday's Fox News debate, and in his absence the moderators tore into Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Meanwhile, Trump ran a counter-rally where he had Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum — both of them nominally competitors of Trump's for the presidency — standing amidst a sea of Trump signs.

Oh, and he said this:

My whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy. I’ve grabbed all the money I could get. I’m so greedy. But now I want to be greedy for the United States. I want to grab all that money. I’m going to be greedy for the United States.

This is a perfect distillation of Trump's appeal — it's how he's turned a suite of noxious qualities into a powerful presidential campaign. Trump goes to voters who think rich guys like Trump have been screwing them over all their lives and promises to use his rich guy powers to screw other people over on their behalf.

3. And the jobs they are talking about are factory jobs.

There is a huge sector of the population that is against education and remembers the good ole days - when they had that $13 a hour factory job. However, they're against raising the minimum wage for other jobs.

4. You've just answered your own question: It's because they are stupid and twisted.
