    "If you would stereotype a group of people by presuming to guess their politics or deeming them inferior to yourself – say, the ones who worked third shift on a Boeing floor while others flew to Mexico during spring break; the ones who mopped a McDonald’s bathroom while others argued about the minimum wage on Twitter; the ones who cleaned out their lockers at a defunct Pabst factory while others drank craft beer at trendy bars; the ones who came back from the Middle East in caskets while others wrote op-eds about foreign policy – then consider that you might have more in common with Trump than you would like to admit."

    And that is the danger, he never had to do any of those things like many have, and he is connecting to those desperados.

      You did it quite unnicely.

        Fair enough, they are not desperados. They are us.

            I was being presumptuous, my apologies.

              If the need arise to apologize for stating your belief(s), you should rather apologize for having them.

              I was not apologizing for any belief, I was, perhaps misplaced, apologizing for having presumed I knew yours.

              Words are the direct expression/reflection(s) of any/all beliefs

              You've expressed yours, I've mine

              Nothing more to be gained here.

              Only as we can know them, yes of course.

              I'll take that as a compliment, but I'm a lousy liar, so no I would not.
