35. This is why Donald Trump is in the lead.

Nov 2015

This is why Trump will be the Republican nominee. And this is why Trump has a very real chance at winning.

Never underestimate the number of pissed-off white people out there. Donald Trump is giving them the green light to unleash generations worth of pent-up rage at what they perceive is a country that has changed too quickly around them.

This next year is going to get ugly.
