Despite recent convictions of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, many Trump voters still stand by their man as Salena Zito noted, “Last week, a woman in her mid-40s who lives in a tidy suburban enclave just outside of Columbus, Ohio, summed up her continued support for President Donald Trump despite his morals, values and behavior not matching hers nor matching her expectations she had for any president of the United States. (the woman stated) “For decades I have been inspired by aspiring politicians and elected officials who took to the podium or the camera and delivered poetic speeches to earn my trust and my support. They would sway me with expressive words and artfully delivered promises. It took me a while to realize those words weren’t theirs, but skillfully crafted sentences that had been massaged and focus-group tested by a full staff of speechwriters and strategists.”…While the words were beautiful, they never manifested into anything tangible in her community.” For many, Trump is producing results as Zito added, “Along comes Trump in 2016. She cannot abide anything he tweets, finds his speeches a stream of consciousness that is hard to unscramble and considers his morals in the gutter. She reluctantly voted for him and knows she will vote for him again, something she admits even surprises her. Why does he hold her support? He delivers results.” He got tax cuts passed and the economy has continued its upward trajectory, we may witness the first 3 percent growth since 2007. This recovery is now starting to impact many of the blue collar workers, minorities and others left behind in the Obama recovery.
Many Trump voters understand his moral failings and figure that into their calculations as they understood that he is what stands between them and the political class they viewed have screwed them over. Zito added, “Right now the value of Trump to the Trump voter is he is all that stands between them and handing the keys to Washington back over to the people inside Washington. That’s it. He’s their only option. You’ve got to pick the insiders or him.”
If anything, Trump has exposed the incompetence of the present political class and how they truly feel about the people they governed. For many of the political class, many Trump voters are merely deplorable and they see their values mocked by the political class. This is the worse political class since the end of World War II, combined with an Academic and Science class that no longer seeks truth but are so politicized that the search for truth no longer matters.
The hatred for Trump expose the length that the political class will go to protect themselves including the pursuing the Russian collusion that can’t even be proven to exist but was designed to undermined the Trump administration and seek to overturn the 2016 elections as Paul Sperry noted, “Bitter to the core, Hillary Clinton and her campaign aides hatched a scheme, just 24 hours after conceding the race, to spoon-feed the dirty rumors to an eager liberal media and manufacture the narrative that Russia secretly colluded with her neophyte foe to sabotage her coronation… The plan, according to the book, was to push journalists to cover how “Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign,” and it succeeded to a fare-thee-well. After the election, coverage of the Russian “collusion” story was relentless, and it helped pressure investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and even the naming of a special counsel, which in turn has triggered virtually nonstop coverage.” The Steele Dossier, paid for by Clinton’s administration, became the basis for FISA warrants and used to spy on the Trump campaign and administration. While Manafort was convicted on crimes that occurred before the 2016 campaign and Cohen was pursued over other crimes nothing to do with Russian Collusion but in one case, it dealt with paying off porn stars to keep quiet about affairs. Investigation now spread into Trump Foundation and Trump organization so the political class has spread it tentacles beyond the Collusion.
What many voters understand is that the class protects its own as Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration allowed the Russian to get 20 percent of uranium reserve, on investigating the Clinton Foundation which could be describe as a pay to play including foreign contributors, how the FBI and DOJ tanked the Clinton’s email investigation, and the IRS went after conservative groups and no one pay the legal price. They know that there are two standards, one for the political class and one for them. Trump, the imperfect vessel, is what stands between them and the political class.
