I still think Trump is a pig, but he's our pig now. It's up to us to make sure he keeps his promises, and doesn't turn away from the messages that bought him a win.
Agree. I didn't vote for Trump in the primary. But during the campaign, I received email from the Trump campaign asking me, personally, what my problems are and what I would like Trump to do to fix them. The email included space to write UNLIMITED CHARACTERS my suggestions and opinions. Then Trump issued the Contract with Voters and I saw that he listened and addressed my concerns. (Oh I know he didn't personally read them, but mine plus millions of others like me, he DID listen to.)
It remains to be seen if he actually does what he promises. I still have some problems with some of his proposed policy and position on some issues.
And he is still unlikeable, even a bit repulsive to me. But here is the bottom line. He heard and responded when I said our retirement fund is not growing. He heard when I said several of my family members were laid off their jobs. He heard when I said I am crushed under too many regulations from a distant government who doesn't understand how my quality of life is eroded by their meddling. He heard when I said our taxes are way too high. He heard me say several of my doctors have quit their practices and my health insurance premiums have gone up.
Trump heard all this, HILLARY DID NOT.
Trump is still a pig, but I am 60 years old and face my old age, during which I would like to be comfortable, have some cash to spend, have good doctors, and maybe even be able to leave something for my children. I have a new grandbaby I do not want to leave a decayed corpse of a country to. At this point I don't care if he is a pig and he grabs women's pussies. I am going to be selfish FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE. I voted my wallet and my future and the future of my children and grandchildren because if Hillary won, things would only continue to get worse. That much was crystal clear.
Will Trump keep his promises to me? Will he fix this country? I have no idea. But at least he asked me about my pain, and responded to what I said.
I hope the Republican party elite is hearing the message too: We suffering middle class, working class and poor are SICK of you political elite. My eyes were open in the last two months of this campaign. I was with you up to and past the primary, but some of you in your lack of support for Trump to defeat Hillary showed your true colors, and this spoke loud and clear: You too are disconnected from the suffering of me and the rest of "everyday Americans". Screw you, along with the whole Democrat party.
