(4,642 posts)there will be a lot posted here coming from MSM to feed their stock prices. I have no doubt that many do support tRump because there are many very stupid people in this country but MSM will always fan the flames, blow it out of proportion. I do not watch any MSM other than the Maddow show.

(12,618 posts)a few self-loathing Trump cultists to hear what vital insight they have on things while ignoring the millions more who have been hurt by him and are angry about it.

(6,699 posts)I know amuriKKKans are ignorant buffoons who vote against their best interests continually, and who don't give a rat's behind about what is really good for the country; but they believe in the biggest con man ever to be noticed publicly in the history of this country. Just lame ignorant idiots.
Yeah....I want to hear what they think....seriously? If you've got someone who finally woke up, I can listen to their bawling, but I hold a chip on my shoulder just like I do with the young men who ran off to Canada or someplace else during the Vietnam War. I can live with it, but I'll never forgive them for it...and the same is true with reformed idiots.
But better yet, don't bother putting ANY of them on. I'd rather you spend the time pointing out reality to these clowns....as in farmers are taking a major screw over this jackass's behavior, many industries are suffering or worse because of the tariffs that affect steel and aluminum imports, the plight of Walmart workers who have to be on food stamps to make ends meet thanks to the stingy wealthiest family in the country, etc, etc, etc. Wasting time on these clowns is entertaining to somebody, perhaps, but it is a total waste of time and just further proves what a dumb ass nation of morons walk among us.

(4,066 posts)The anchor brought up the prisoners being paid and that's not relevant. The anchor led it into the discussion about the air traffic being the thing that broke the tide.
Of course, two people who work as CO's in a prison are going to be for a wall. That
What is CNN doing, except helping Trump by finding these people to interview? Find a single mom working at a Social Security office or a janitor or cafeteria working on The Hill to interview instead.

(6,556 posts)their faces by supporting this travesty. Are they so beaten down that they can't see a better way of doing things? I don't get trumpers, and I hope I never do! They will continue to vote for people and policies that hurt them and their children. Unbelievable!

(3,426 posts)willing to talk to the media about that ,yer wrong ! My guess is CNN was hard pressed to find those 2 in the same time frame ! This is the way it works if you work for the fed regards,- media,public trust- (if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. ) That's it. So there is some Trumpers in the mix. I would venture a guess CNN got a whole lot of no comment before those two were herded into the CNN coral ! OK lol.

There will always be a significant number of people who are too ignorant to know what demagoguery is and too stupid to know they have fallen victim to it.

(2,692 posts)The Trump line of lies is all sweet honey -- because it targets the "other" as a threat and as the cause of much of the Trumpists' hurt. It's simple and hateful but it poses as a problem that can be solved by a wall.
The truth is that the border, first of all, is not nearly as porous, as Trump and his propagandists are oinking about. The truth is that the many, many problems in this country have many, many causes. The truth is that income inequality, the shipping of jobs overseas or down south, are major causes of the problems these people feel are hurting the country. The truth is that to stop the caravanserais from the south, America has to look into the reasons why these people are trekking thousands of miles to escape their homelands -- and what America can do about bettering the conditions that obtain there. The truth is that the economic problems facing America are largely caused, not by immigrants (for cripes' sake!) but by people like our Secretary of Commerce and his boss who are so disconnected from the lives of 100s of millions of Americans that they think an unemployed Federal worker can just dip into his stock portfolio or go to the grocery store and ask for food on the promise of paying for it later. And on and on and on.
My point is, the Trump supporting American workers (like the couple in the video) would rather drink the sweet honeyed liquor of lies Trump and his people are offering them -- offering? more like flooding them with -- than taste truth's bitter medicine. And that honeyed liquor pretty much removes all traces of logical reasoning from their brains with the result, as seen in this video segment, they'll support the very man who is causing them pain.

After all there are many Americans involved in relationships that are abusive and yet they refuse to leave their abuser.

(1,706 posts)CNN should also have 2 people that are not dump supports and ask them the same questions if they want to a run story like this maybe take a poll and see how many people are on either side.

(981 posts)CNN is not representing both sides of the story. It's probably mandated by their corporate handlers that they report everything with a slight conservative bias - what the hell, it works for POX.

These Trump voters are so unintelligent that you wonder how they ever managed to survive childhood.

(981 posts)I work for a trucking company where most of the people voted for tRump. When Manafort got arrested, I mentioned it to our 'administrative assistant" (I.E. secretary) and she gave me a blank stare and said "who?". It must be nice to go through life with blinders on and having FOX news whisper the truth in your ears so you don't have to think, AT ALL.

(10,185 posts)They don't want to think when it comes to religion, racism, voting, criminals in public office, the environment, the economy, the poor and facts in politics.
So what do they think about? Where they are going to get their next beer and the football scores?

(981 posts)Religion: "I'm a Christian"
Racism: "I'm not a racist, I know some black people"
Voting: "Most of the time I don't, but there was something about Mr. Trump..."
Criminals: "Everyone I know has at least one person in the family that's in jail, every body does it"
Environment: "I'm not sure I believe in global warming. I think this is just a natural cycle"
Economy: "I shouldn't have to pay for your food or medical expenses. Get a damned job."
Hobbies: "Food, Sex, Drugs & Alcohol, Rock'n Roll, Cars, snowmobiles, boats, ATVs, and good home cook'n"
