And you think that with this crew, it's going to be all about throwing money at the masses? Creating union jobs for the flannel and camo crowd?

We shall see, but I am not very hopeful. I think the whole Carrier thing was stunt, a marketing ploy.....public relations. A bone to the base to keep them grinning until inauguration day. Then this too shall pass. Just like the e-mails, Benghazi and whatever else he is back pedaling on.

How about the Education billionaire fascist broad wanting to give public funds to religious schools?
Probably only the white ones.....

I think the scenario that Trump turns out to be a true Populist has a a good 50% probability.

With the other 50% being the nuclear option of him making things so bad that it brings about an American version of the Bolshevic Revolution.

Either way, I see it as a win.

Cynicism is the hard shell we grow to protect the romantic within and his cabinet does not support your odds.

I've already explained how I think Trump will treat his cabinet in my inimitable style via youtube video. But if you missed it, here it is again.

Sure, the Bolshevik revolution worked out so well. Especially the Stalinist phase. Oddly, never evolved to end-stage communism as promised, unless Kelpto-Putininst capitalism is a phase on the way.....

I don't think you really don't care if what you say makes any sense or not.
