Well he is pro-TPP. I assume that's the core of this lady's beef with him.

What is she trying to say?

His global trade policy is impressive?

He took the dealer to the cleaner when he traded in his 08 Sebring?

He made a great swap in his NFL fantasy pool?

Man. I really hait hor for that sign. So confuse. What a moran.

She was interviewed on CNN and said she deliberately misspelled it because she was just "another white, uneducated, deplorable hillbilly from Wisconsin". (Or something to that effect...)

Wow, Rubio found his spine in the junk drawer I guess.

Quote:
Sen. Marco Rubio is flatly rejecting Donald Trump's claims the election is being "rigged" against the Republican presidential nominee.

"This election is not being rigged," Rubio said Monday during a debate with his Democratic senatorial challenger Rep. Patrick Murphy. "There is no evidence behind any of this, so this should not continue to be said."

"We have 67 counties in this state, each of which conduct their own elections. I promise you there is not a 67-county conspiracy to rig this election," Rubio added.
EDIT: Or I guess it could just be that now that Trump is down in Florida polls he can put some distance between himself and Trump if he wants to win.

I like this article from the ringer. It humanizes trump supporters instead of just labelling them as deplorables and at the same time shows the angry mob mentality of them.

Or else he, like all "elected" officials, has no reason to share the truth about the mysterious puppet-masters that secretly anoint election-winners and pull the necessary strings to get them into office.

I have to disagree:

Quote:
Eventually he turns to his easiest trick: saying the words “Hillary Clinton.”

“Lock her the #### up!” yells the man standing next to me, whom I’ll call Ed. Ed is short and muscular and middle-aged. He wears an oversize T-shirt that says “DONALD ####IN’ TRUMP.” He scans the room, awed by the spectacle in a way that feels contagious. He can barely see anything onstage, but a few times he jumps up so that he can catch a fleeting glimpse. At one point, he hands me his phone, and he asks me to take a 360-degree panoramic photo of the room. When I oblige, he takes one look at the picture, and then he smiles up at me and says, with a certain reverence: “####ing bad-ass, dude. Bad. ####ing. Ass.” I look at the photo. He’s right. The scene is astonishing.

And yet it is also jarring in a way that, days later, I will still be unable to fully describe. I’m no stranger to red America. I’ve spent most of my life in the South, and I grew up attending evangelical Christian schools. I once voted for the reelection of George W. Bush. And beyond a life spent among people who are now Trump supporters, I’ve also worked for years as a sportswriter, sitting among crowds and listening to people scream. The boos in Philadelphia. The insults in Cleveland. The gleefully polite bile that pours forth from stadiums all across the SEC. And yet I’ve never experienced anything quite like tonight in Cincinnati. Ed hasn’t either. “This is unreal,” he says.

Just to Ed’s right stands a young woman. She enjoys screaming. She has a favorite word: ####. “#### Obama!” “#### Syrians!” And at one point, when Trump mentions Republicans who have not honored their pledge to support him, she offers a vague but menacing “#### them!” This is something of a moment, because right as she is screaming “#### them!” Ed is screaming “Goddamn pussies!” and after they each scream their respective epithets, for a second, their eyes meet. They laugh. Then they turn back toward Trump and ready for their next chance to scream.

Outside, after the rally, I meet a protester named Tonja who holds a sign that says, “Don’t Grab My #####!” Young men parade past her, all making the same joke, aping the response that Trump has given at rallies all week. They say, “You don’t have to worry about anyone grabbing your #####,” or some variation thereof, one after another, laughing every time.
Quote:
As we’re talking, an older man walks up. He looks Hamid up and down and he grins, warm and a little confused. “Now haven’t I seen you on the news?” he asks.

She turns toward him and smiles. “Maybe,” she says.

“Yeah,” he says. “I think I seen you on there.”

Awkward silence. Mutual nods. Then he asks, “You having a good time tonight?”

“I am.”

He registers this for a moment. He looks down, as if processing the weight of her words. “Good,” he says. “That’s good to hear. You have a nice night.”

He walks away. As he leaves, Hamid turns back to me and smiles. “See?” she says. “Most people are really nice.” Now another man approaches, this one in a gray suit. He appears to be a campaign staffer. He is less curious. He is less nice. “Come with me, please,” he says, and she follows. He leads her toward the exit, and as she walks, she keeps smiling, pulling out pens and handing them to men and women on her way to the back of the room. She knows what this is. She’s been through this before. Finally they reach the exit and disappear.

Minutes later, the man returns. She does not. I ask him what happened. “That’s confidential,” he says. I ask if Hamid had been asked to leave, and he says, “I believe so.” He won’t say anything more, not even his name.

A few minutes later, Hamid says by phone that once she left the room, the man told her, “This is a private event. You are not welcome here.”
She says she got in her car. She drove home.
Deplorable.

Trump really embracing his new, more conspiracy-theory-based campaign.

Ooooh! Secret international financial cabals that rule the world from behind closed doors! Way to play the classic hits there, Donald... Surely now Ted Cruz can get behind him, now that he's attacking "New York values", right?

That it humanizes them or shows them as anything less than deplorable. I take that to mean that we should have empathy for them, which I don't think we should (at least not based on what is written in there). If that's not what you mean, then I apologize.

Yes that's what I mean.

I guess I see them as treating the Muslim women with respect until she is kicked out by the campaign

And the two ladies he has the conversation with about all the conspiracies about Hillary that they read as truth. There is a Naivety to it that they believe it because its written and they were told it to be true.

That is juxtaposed with the Mob of chants and protests and being part of the sporting event. Like chanting F*** the oilers or saying derogatory things about their players.

I see him finding people in one on one conversations and their treatment of other individuals. When they confront protestors or people that are perceived as attacking them they become the mob.

I mostly found myself pitying them after reading it. These people are a con mans dream, they will believe anything if you can tie it into something they really hate, because they are so driven by anger and hatred. Which of course explains how a grifter like Trump could swoop in and have them eating out of his hand.
