CNN analyst deems Trumps midterm campaign as the most overt appeal to white racial resentment since George Wallace
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/cnn-analyst-deems-trumps-midterm-campaign-as-an-overt-appeal-to-white-racial-resentment/
On Monday, CNNs Wolf Blitzer panel said that President Donald Trumps midterm strategy was the most overt racist campaign theyve ever seen.
Trump has been peddling fear and loathing ahead of the election on Tuesday. Even cable networks including Fox News pulled Trumps ad from their channels because it was filled with straight lies.
Analyst Ron Brownstein said that Trump might lose some Republican votes because people cannot align with his values anymore. The reason why Republicans are facing widespread losses in wide collar suburbs that are the places doing the best in this thriving economy is that many college-educated white voters who ordinarily vote Republicans on economics simply cannot abide by Trump on values and the way he comports himself, he said.
And the way he has chosen to finish the election. I mean this is the most overt appeal to white racial resentment since George Wallace from a national figure, he said.

And there was a mass murder shooting in the middle of that streak and it barely slowed him down. He doesn't care, I don't think he even knows or understands the value of human life. He is a psychopath narcissist

"Trump might lose some Republican votes because people cannot align with his values anymore."
His values? What values would they be beyond stroking his own ego and using whatever hateful meme he's decided might win the midterms. The man is ignorant, hateful and reckless.
Tomorrow we define ourselves. We find out who we really are as a people and what kind of future we desire for our children and the world.

Unless we prevail firmly tomorrow, the country may be lost as a civilization. We need to send dark forces back to where they came from, then work on forever destroying them.
