or act in total ignorance that it all goes back to the Republican strategy that begin in 1968 with Nixon's Southern Strategy.. The chickens are coming home roost.. You build your house on fear and hate and this is what you get.. You and your party are are Doctor Victor Frankenstein and Trump is your monster!!!
He talked about a frustration among the working class. Well look in the mirror Marco.. It was you and your fellow republicans that will not raise the minimum wage, not pass a large infrastructure rebuilding package, not allow the cap to be raised on Social Security taxes and have frustrated president Obama on whatever he proposes.. even if the idea was previously one you own party put forward.
You gerrymander the states to a fare thee well, pass laws to limit the ability of people to vote. The supreme court republican presidents created make sure corporation's can control the political discourse with their citizen united and other verdicts. This totally blocks the average Joe having any say in this country and helps build up frustration!!
You are just lucky the democrats will probably bail you out.. By placing either Bernie or Hillary in the White House next year.. If some how Trump or Cruz gets in your party will totally to blame..

(5,856 posts)about Obama again? Well I'd like to dispel the notion that Rubio doesn't know what he's doing; he knows exactly what he is doing. He is pandering to his base

(80 posts)He's part of the problem... trashing President Obama at every opportunity and no one calls him on it. Rubio's constant dog whistles to the base are contributing to the current state of violence surrounding this political circus as much as Trump and all the other haters; they own this craziness. 'Can't wait for Rubio to be gone so I don't have to listen to him sputtering hate and lies ever again. good riddance.
