* “And of course, the white underclass lives on welfare and it isn’t pretty. And there are Mestizo Americans who work their asses off and genuinely aren’t mooching.”
Naw, they’re just driving down wages, allowing employers to delay automation and causing education and healthcare costs to skyrocket. Oh, and they’re also destroying supply and demand signals to be completely perverted.
The white underclass, if wages, bennies, conditions etc., improve sufficiently, could and would do these jobs. It’s one of the – genuine – benefits of the free market. But having all those lazy (they can’t even be bothered to finish the free-to-them high school that’s getting thrown at them! the upwardly Jewish immigrants of yesteryear would have regarded them as lazy, squawking potatoes) Mestizos around lets them off the hook on things like labor conditions and automation.
It’s always astonishing, how many people rail against mooching and ignore the one free market incentive that would drive people into decent work and lessen the need for government benefits.
* I mentioned a couple months ago that Trump should buy all the remaining Jeb! guac bowls and have staffers stack them in a pyramid like the skulls of the vanquished.
It could still happen!
* It’s now gonna be Trump vs Media.
And Trump’s template is well-poised for this.
Media treated McCain and Romney unfairly. But McCain and Romney kept their heads up as if the referee and sports commentators were fair and professional.
The template of McCain and Romney was the Magnanimous White Man with the Presidential Style.
Privately, McCain is a hothead and Romney is a two-faced weasel, but their public persona was the straight-laced white man who would never get rough-and-tumble. Now, such style is fine IF the media were fair and objective. But the media are not. When the referee is crooked, it has to called out.
And Trump’s template from the beginning was un-presidential. Populist and Macho. fight fire with fire.
He began the campaign calling counter-foul on the media that calls more fouls on the White GOP Man.
Media foul-calls have gotten so BS that Trump needs to go with Megyn Kelly Option.
Fight Back.
His theme has to be Hillary + Media = collusion. He should call it just that. Collusion.
Trump appealed to GOP voters by playing the tough guy going against the collusion of establishment + Bushes + Cruz + Kasich + media + pundits + neocons + etc.
Also, Trump is better poised than previous GOP candidates to play the identity card. He can position himself as the candidate of middle class/working class, citizens, and patriots against Hillary who is for illegals, urban elites, and globalist oligarchs.
If Hillary plays the Women Card, he should say her foreign policy favored crazy Muslim radicals against secular government and made things less safe for women by encouraging illegal immigration.
Trump should blow the cover on what happened in 2008 and expose how the media to do the same for Hillary.
This may make media work even harder against him, but it may also fire up people against the media that is just a propaganda tool. Trump can also say he fought Fox News too and much of Talk Radio.
Americans like fair play, and if Trump plays this right, he can get much sympathy.
He just mustn’t melt down like Mckenroe. Trump needs to do it like a circus and have fun with it.
