(37,573 posts)I just think from a working class perspective, "trouble" for a person has more serious consequences than just "I don't get to be President".
If my car breaks down, that is trouble.
If my refrigerator breaks down, that is trouble.
If I lose my job, that is trouble.
If I get hurt bad at work, that is trouble.
But if I train really hard to run in the Boston marathon, and yet for some reason do NOT win it, that isn't really "trouble" no matter how badly I wanted to win.
Now going bankrupt in the attempt - that would be trouble.
Just the wording of these titles and the way they talk about politics seems so "cult of personality".
What about the "trouble" for the Democratic Party and for the United States of America if Hillary WINS? Is that maybe more important than Hillary's personal ambition and personal "trouble"?
