The capitalist economy he calls 'racist' has treated Beto O'Rourke very well

    There is absolutely no connection between "Trump peddled his image as a billionare [sic] to be envied" and your conclusion that therefore voters "apparantly [sic] didn't expect him to do anything for them". That's as dumb as "lemons are yellow so apparently people don't like motorcycles". :roll:

    The idea of wealth being something to envy goes along with the idea of the American dream. As a wealthy real estate mogul and television celebrity with a smoking hot wife and all of the accoutrements of wealth, Trump in many ways epitomizes the American dream of success. That is in stark contrast to those who enjoy all of the benefits of wealth, but then want to piss on it, downplay it, and instead hypocritically endorse socialist ideas, when it was good old fashioned capitalism that got them where they are.

    Also, psst, those quotes you are attributing to @US Conservative are actually from the article. You're welcome ;)

    You said THIS:

    "Trump did it successfully even though he's a billionaire. But he was selling his wealth as evidence of his success and as a badge for people to envy."

    This was Tom's characterization:

    "You said that Trump peddled his image as a billionare to be envied. Those are your words."

    ___________

    ^Are you claiming that those 2 statements are different?

    Actually, I’m positive he’s claiming it came from the article. Which if you had read it, you would know that that is what CNN wrote.

    So he never said it, CNN did.

    So well, in fact, that it enabled Beta to attend a ritzy boarding school here in Virginia that charges $48,000/year tuition.

    He's white, fer crissake. That's how it works in this country.
    You said Beto's solution is "more capitalism." How does that translate into socialism? Are you sure you're okay?
    And you're stuck with the Orange Oaf who last weekend went into twitter meltdown.
    Even Crazy Bernie stopped talking about taking over business years ago.
    Her?

    She doesn't run the party. You're losing it, pal.

    They're all upset after the Orange Oaf came out with a dozen unhinged tweets over the weekend.

    it treats poor white and poor blacks the same... sadly many never make it to middle class, corporatism is failing us.. the republicans trickle down is not working

    Careful.... you’re starting to sound like that psycho in New Zealand who also felt capitalism was corporatism and felt it didn’t work.

    Name a better nation. This country offers so much opportunity that foreigners float here on boats.
