Trump’s Faux Populism Should Terrify Progressives

Donald Trump is trying to sound more and more like a populist with his anti-Iraq War, anti-TPP rhetoric, and this technique is working very well with Republican voters – that’s why it’s time for Progressives to start to worry about his candidacy.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

And make us willing to accept a wall street president...anything but trump.

We are so easily manipulated.

This whole race on both sides is to get Hillary the nomination...once that is done the results of the election don't matter much...the status quo is safe for at least 4 years.
