New Bill Curry Article; Trump Understands What Clinton Doesn't

[Billsmile]

One overarching issue drives this election, but neither Hillary Clinton’s campaign nor the Democratic Party got the memo. Any swing voter could tell them what it says: It’s the corruption, stupid.

1. Yeah,

What Hillary doesn't know that The Rump knows is how to insult and denigrate everybody that does not agree with him and kiss his _ _ _!

14. No I think Hillary has that trait down to a T

2. I guess Trump gets a lot of credit for refusing Big Money's financing...

...from people completely ignorant of the tainted ways Trump received his own money.

If he's really blind to his own corruption, I don't think he can possibly understand what the author thinks he does.

9. Yeah, I don't think it is the hatred of corruption, but love of greed that people love about him.

10. How his his money tainted? Inheritance?

11. Trump's money is tainted in many ways

Inheritance
Buying politicians to get permits and sweetheart deals like eminent domain for his private projects
Ignoring environmental and labor laws
Being effectively bankrupt in the late 80's/early 90's but bailed out by the banks because he owned them so much money
Taking companies into bankruptcy to screw his investors, creditors, suppliers and workers

[Orsino]

13. Not to mention slumlord Fred Trump's civil rights lawsuit...

...or his possible KKK membership.

5. will be interesting to see how many recs this gets.

[grossproffit]

12. Always interesting, wouldn't you say?

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Hmm

Bill Curry was White House counselor to President Clinton and a two-time Democratic nominee for governor of Connecticut. He is at work on a book on President Obama and the politics of populism.

by the way excellent read... I think he does have a good idea here of what is going on, better than many

7. to Clinton, letting everyone buy her campaign means more money to run with: yay!

to everyone else it means "she's bought"

15. This dude's editorial from a couple of weeks ago:

"It’s almost over for Hillary"

I'd say his ability to read the political tea leaves is lacking.

[loyalsister]

16. he also understands how angry people

He (or his campaign) get that people feel hopeless.
People are responding to big talk and bold plans because they truly want real, meaningful change.
Hillary is all about keeping the status quo and was even a member of the administration that broke a lot of peoples' hearts.
