I think the median family income was 3000 dollars above that for the nation as a whole.

The desire to get rid of the Muslims, Hispanics, blacks and Asians is pretty widespread.

It wasn’t economics that got him elected. It was good old all American bigotry. Build the wall!

That’s all they needed to hear. .that told them he’s on their side.

But screwing up health insurance for millions, pissing off the million Puerto Rican’s in Florida, old bigots dying off, will give us a chance in 2020. But bigotry has been a proven vote getter and it will be hard to beat in 2020 too.
