He knows how to lie, steal and cheat, outside of those 3 things, nothing.

They are good at threatening people, but doubt they are well versed in going thru trials and so on.

The average trump voter would be destroyed if they did business with trump, but would still vote for him because like him, hate is what drives them.

but what's really horrifying is that they're all like that. They're so insulated from the reality of those $800/month premiums that they have no idea how much insurance is costing us and how many of us are chronically underpaid, are unable to save anything, not even for disasters like car repairs, and how low they have allowed wages to fall in terms of purchasing power out there.

If they knew all that stuff, maybe they'd realize why the economy is in the toilet and their stock dividends are low, not to mention why people need their insurance subsidized or they're going to die. That is the choice their constituents are facing and that is why they're all scared of those town halls they've been holding.
