US Election 2016 (4 Viewers)

Ted Cruz is by all accounts a thorough cunt.
But even I feel some sympathy for the Shakespearean nature of him:
1. Refusing to denounce Donald in the primaries
2. Losing the primary as a result
3. Finally finding a pair during the GOP convention
4. Earning a modicum of respect
5. Finally capitulating and endorsing Trump
6. Losing said modicum of respect
7. Watching Donald flame out just a couple of days after.

My one positive thing to say about Trump over all this has been "at least he's not Ted Cruz," I wonder if recent developments have seen Trump not even have that going for him.

This is pretty good

Earlier this year, primary exit polls revealed that Trump voters were, in fact, more affluent than most Americans, with a median household income of $72,000 – higher than that of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders supporters. Forty-four percent of them had college degrees, well above the national average of 33% among whites or 29% overall. In January, political scientist Matthew MacWilliams reported findings that a penchant for authoritarianism – not income, education, gender, age or race –predicted Trump support.

In seeking to explain Trump’s appeal, proportionate media coverage would require more stories about the racism and misogyny among white Trump supporters in tony suburbs. Or, if we’re examining economically driven bitterness among the working class, stories about the Democratic lawmakers who in recent decades ended welfare as we knew it, hopped in the sack with Wall Street and forgot American labor in their global trade agreements.

But, for national media outlets comprised largely of middle- and upper-class liberals, that would mean looking their own class in the face.

Dangerous idiots: how the liberal media elite failed working-class Americans
 
That guy's a prick and I wish the cops would treat him like a poor person for a few years, but Hilary is also a bot for the military. It's hard to figure which route has less bloodshed.
