Want to know why Trump's winning? 'It's (still) the economy, stupid' By Wayne Allyn Root So Donald Trump had a great night on Tuesday. He is the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. No matter how many vice presidential running mates Ted Cruz or John Kasich pick, they can't change reality. Give it a rest boys. I know reality bites, but your starting to look delusional. Now to the point of this story. Many Democrats and members of the mainstream media (I know, I repeat myself) don't understand the popularity of Donald Trump. Well, I understand it very well. I was there from the start. I wrote the very first commentary predicting Trump's success here at Fox News. And I've never wavered since. Why is Trump winning? Why is he striking a chord with so many Americans? It's the economy, stupid. I live in the real world. I am a private sector businessman. I have “boots on the ground.” I understand that President Obama has wrecked the U.S. economy. We are in an economic disaster. And it can get worse. Much worse. If someone who thinks just like Obama is elected, we could slide into economic Armageddon. America’s economy could smash to the ground like Humpty Dumpty -- into a million pieces, we can never put back together again. I know this because I’m a small businessman with 15 different and diverse businesses and careers. And all 15 are in trouble. All 15 are sucking wind. All 15 are hurting like never before in my lifetime (I’m 54 years old). And I will admit it -- I’m scared. I’ve seen some really bad trends, up close and personal. Consumers don’t want to spend money anymore. Investors don’t want to invest anymore (at least not in small business). No one wants to hire anymore. No one wants to pay bills on time anymore. The people that pay me monthly checks are paying late…or slow paying…or refusing to pay at all. People that I know and trust for many years are using home equity loans to pay their employee payrolls. They are using credit cards to pay taxes. They have no idea how to pay their massive health insurance premiums caused by Obamacare. My friends and business associates are in trouble. Deep trouble. It’s all going bad under Barack Obama. Then I saw the exit polls on Fox News on Tuesday night after five overwhelming, massive, YUUUUGE Republican primary landslides for Donald Trump. What was the number one issue for a large majority of Republican voters? The economy and jobs. There was no close second. Even Trump’s signature issue of immigration was at the bottom of their list. The voters are scared to death about this economy, jobs and the future of middle class America. But it’s not all voters. It’s just Republican voters. Why? Because like me, most Republican voters are living in this nightmare. Republicans are the private sector. We own our own small businesses. Or we work for private sector businesses. Or we’re independent contractors -- real estate brokers, stockbrokers, car salesman, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, etc. In other words, we are “boots on the ground.” We are the first to know something is wrong with the economy. We are the ones who know when the politicians and media are lying through their teeth. We know Obama, Hillary and the mainstream media are lying about “economic recovery.” There is no recovery. We have been living in an 8-year-long Obama Great Depression. Yes, those living in New York (Wall Street), San Francisco (Silicon Valley) and Washington, D.C. (government jobs and contracts) are fat and happy. But everywhere else in-between, the people are in severe trouble. We are scared. We are hurting. We know this is getting worse. We know where this could end- with a complete economic collapse and the end of America. Republican voters voted for Donald Trump because: A. They don’t trust any politician to save us, or to change the situation. That includes even a pure conservative politician like Ted Cruz. Conservative, or not, Cruz has spent his entire life as a lawyer and government employee. He’s never created a job in his life. For all intents and purposes, Ted Cruz -- like 99 percent of politicians -- might as well be Obama. B. They understand only a capitalist billionaire businessman can possibly turn this nightmare around. They know Trump has failed at a few businesses- and they don’t care. At least he failed with his own money, not the taxpayers! What a refreshing change. C. And interestingly, maybe those failures make Trump the perfect guy to turnaround the U.S. economy. Sure Trump has failed but he came back bigger and better than ever, each and every time.Maybe, just maybe, Trump can show America and the middle class how to recover, just like he did after almost losing it all. Here’s where the “Two Americas” comes in. Republican voters get all this. But Democrat voters haven‘t a freaking clue there’s a problem. Have you noticed? Every Democrat I speak to swears the economy is fine. You know why there is such a disconnect? Because Democrats almost never work in the private sector. They sign the back of paychecks, not the front. Huge difference. Democrats have rarely ever put up $100,000 or $1,000,000 of their own money to start a business (I have, many times). They’ve never risked their life savings to make payroll (I have). They’ve never sold anything for a living (I have every day of my life). They’ve never woken up on a Monday with no idea how they’ll pay their mortgage or bills this week (I do that every week). Republicans and Democrats live in different worlds. Republicans work for a living, sell for a living, own for a living. We do it all with our own money, talent and wits. We sign the front of paychecks, not the back. Everything we do is with our own money. I’ve never taken a government check in my life. But Democrats. The vast majority of Obama, Hillary and Bernie supporters belong to one of four categories: A. They work for someone else. They collect a safe weekly paycheck, without ever having to worry where the money comes from. B. They work for government, or collect a pension from government for NOT working. C. They collect a welfare or entitlement check (or many different checks) from government. D. They are in school, or college, or broke and jobless living in mommy and daddy’s basement eating Doritos, while watching Jerry Springer. They’ve never earned a serious check, let alone signed the front of one. They understand nothing about money or the economy. So yes, Republicans and Democrats do live in different worlds. That accounts for most Republicans supporting Donald Trump with fervor and passion and enthusiasm. And virtually all Democrats despising him and being repulsed by him. In many cases, Trump may be the first politician (or person) Democrat voters have ever met that signs the front of a paycheck. What it comes down to is… "It's the economy, stupid!"

Jim Robinson I was told yesterday that Trump is a liberal Democrat. My reply: Build the wall. Enforce the law. Deport them all. End sanctuary cities. End anchor babies. Slap a moratorium on muslim immigration. Cut the taxes. Cut the spending. Cut the regulations. Cut the government. Cut the debt. Cut the EPA. Repeal ObamaCare. Get the feds out and allow health insurance to be sold over state lines. Send education back to states. Get a handle on trade. Make trade deals in our own best interests. Bring back capital. Bring back manufacturing. Bring back jobs. Strengthen the economy. Defend the second amendment. Defend religious freedom. Appoint constitutional conservative judges. Rebuild our military. Bomb the shit out of ISIS (and take their oil). End political correctness. Take the GOP head-on. Take the media head-on. Take the liberals head-on. And win, baby, win. All of the above on a shoestring budget compared to most of the 16 competitors he’s defeated (after they spent 100's of millions of donor bucks). No PACs. No big donors. No party support. What’s democrat about any of the above? What’s not conservative? What’s not to like? And I’ll add a few more: Redo the horrid Iran deal. Take a serious look at NATO. Require our allies to pay more for their defense. Rebuild the Reagan Coalition and attract blue collar workers by making America first again on manufacturing, trade, secure borders, economy and jobs, jobs, jobs! Make America Great Again! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3421722/posts Damn Jim !!! Looks like you nailed it. This is exactly what I think.

No it's actually the poor standard of his opponents
Trump has once again dominaTED, this time in Indiana. Trump has set a standard the rest of the sorry dirtbags can not equal. Learn to say PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Because Reality TeeVee Trumps common sense? How long you s'pose it'll be before Drumpf's "awakened" drooling masses go back to bleating about who's winning American Idolatry and Dancing with the Perverts in between commercials for Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Sleeping Pills, Antidepressants, and Depends?
LOL Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
By the amount of your drool, I reckon you will not awaken until after the end of Trump's first term. Most people care more about the economy than Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Sleeping Pills, Antidepressants, and Depends. There are exceptions, such as yourself.
Most people with common sense question the ability of Wile E. Trump to micro manage the global economy with "sliding scales" in the factual context of the Reality TeeVee star's past Super Geniusness: http://www.go ogle.com/search? q=trump+mortgage+%22who+knows+more+about+financing+than+me%22 Why did Trump Mortgage FAIL again Bolo Chan?
Your premise excluded you.
Why did Trump Mortgage FAIL Bolo Chan? ht tp://www.google.com/? gws_rd=ssl#q=Trump+mortgage+%22who+knows+more+about+financing+than+me%22
The subject of this thread is a Fox News article entitled, "Want to know why Trump's winning? 'It's (still) the economy, stupid'" If you desire to write an article about Trump Mortgage, you are invited to do so. I am not taking irrelevant homework assignments.
If it's the economy then why can't you tell the class why Trump Mortgage FAILed? That was the economy too, Super Genius.
If you think the 2016 election turns on Trump Mortgage, you can explain it.
Fraud and Systemic corruption. How'come Trump didn't figure that out when... "Who know more about financing than me!" ?
How'come Trump didn't figure that out when... Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Hillary will proclaim that and ride it to victory in November.
Kind'a hard to do that when they're all suckling from the same systemically corrupt teats.
