why is everyone on this site so obsessed with donald trump?

Trump won historically working-class Democrat states.

He says things that connect with poor and middle class people.

The corporate-owned Democrats have no response, other than to attack him.

So, his name comes up often.

You are correct.
Unfortunately, Trump does not back up his populist rhetoric with populist policy-making.

Trump is like a typical right-wing "populist". I put the word "populist" in sacre quotes because all of the true populism is on the left. "Right-wing populism" is something that the corporate overlords create when they are getting desperate. When people start getting angry at the rich and powerful, the corporations desperately try to redirect that anger towards someone else.

Quote:

You are, once again, correct.

Sanders wasn't a corporate "Democrat". He was a true Democrat. He offered real solutions.

The white working class has stopped caring about concepts like "racism" and "xenophobia". This is because they are tired of the "White males can blame nobody but themselves." rhetoric that is pushed by corporate "liberals".

The Democrats could have beaten Trump by calling him a greedy rich jackass who openly supports the military oil machine ... but they would have lost their corporate sponsors if they had done that.

^^^^^ today's "know-nothings" [late 19th century American reactionary political faction] it would seem. i'm reminded of the prescient words of MLK who said "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
also:
"A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan."

I disagree. They were originally a progressive organization. Abe Lincoln even wrote letters to Karl Marx.

The last progressive Republican was Theodore Roosevelt. The party has been going downhill since then.

I think the GOP is the best thing ever. But then again my dad is practically a billionaire. The have nots need to learn to just suck it up and realize their only purpose in life is to serve and provide for the elite, not leach off us.

Like the Johnny Cash song, "Boy named Sue".

The GOP toughens people up.

GOPers think, you ought a thank me for taking away your health care.
