The new GOP base and what it means about a "revolution"

"As in Iowa and New Hampshire, Trump enjoyed significant strength among blue-collar, non-college-educated voters in South Carolina. They used to be a GOP afterthought, but increasingly seem to be its core." Reported in the WSJ.

Thus, we have lower paid voters who do support a wealthy man.

What does this mean about leading a "revolution" against "millionaires and billionaires?"

I have always maintained that this country will never have a real revolution. Most Americans do not hate the rich; they want to be the rich. This is part of the "American dream." (DU opinions notwithstanding).

I think that it was during the "great recession" that a reporters asked people in the street how they would like to split a pie chart. Most wanted a large a part as possible instead of splitting it among as many groups as possible with smaller pieces each.

Yes, this is sad but this is why it is important to have a pragmatist non-ideologist person in the white house who will make a difference, but in smaller steps that can be implemented.

Of course, sending an ideologist who wants to have a revolution will end up disappointing the voters once he is faced with reality of governing, of passing laws.

I think that this is why many who projected their wishes and dreams on Obama in 2008 were the first to be disappointed once he secured the nomination.
