"When I hear working families thinking about voting for those plans, I want to have an intervention"

Obama made it clear he was speaking about Trump, telling the crowd, “If we fall for a bunch of okeydoke just because it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative then we’re not going to build on the progress that we started.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA:

“When I hear working families thinking about voting for those plans, then I want to have an intervention,” Obama told the Indiana crowd. “The notion that you would vote for anybody who would now allow them to go back to doing the same stuff that almost broke our economy’s back makes no sense.”

“I don’t care whether you are a Republican, or a Democrat or an independent, why would you do that?”

Obama told the crowd that if the election comes down to which party is better for the economy, the choice shouldn’t be so difficult.

“If what you really care about in this election is your pocketbook; if what you’re concerned about is who will look out for the interests of working people and grow the middle class, then the debate isn’t even close,” the president said.

1. Most people (both educated and uneducated) are financially illiterate.

So politicians had better figure out ways to explain it in layman's terms or
their fiscal/financial policies will always fall on deaf ears.

2. Don't we all feel that way?

3. There is anger and that is a raw emotion

The anger is at the establishment who has systematically given American jobs away. People who are finding it difficult to feed their family and hang onto their homes, are not going to be swayed by logic.

People see Hillary as establishment and part of the problem.

People see Bernie as angry and wanting to fix the problem, this is why he is doing better against Trump.
