In short, Illegitamate President Trump - remember please that he won MI, WI and PA by a total of 77K votes due to Putin and Comey - was able to gain a large majority of rural uneducated rust belt voters because they are DESPARATE. He won these votes 75-25 which is a landslide squared. These people bought the carnival-barker conman's PROMISE of bringimg their plant/coal jobs back - it's really a last ditch/chance for them. Unfortunately it ain't gonna work for them.
But, they're hangin on for dear life because Hillary, and/or no one else is making the same/better promises.
Sad
Both Donald & Bernie are a lot like Hugo. Hugo had his own TV show during his presidency? He was a pretty slick con man, wouldn't you say? It was a way for him to keep a hold on his followers, who by the way suffered the most with his policies. Donald and Hugo have a lot in common, both like a good show!
Now Bernie is like Chavez on the economics side. Bernie loathes capitalism. He preaches revolution and condemns capitalism. I remember vividly his interview on CNBC, when he said, "Americans have too many choices in life".
See Matt, 2 months into a Bernie Presidency, this same article could have been printed about the "ALT LEFT".
So what do I do? Do I take the money and run in Trump's Alternate Reality, or would I gladly be taxed into oblivion under the slogan of, "The Equal Sharing of Misery". At least with the first choice, money provides opportunity, security and freedom. The difference between an individualist vs communal approach.
You need to listen to the independents and moderates Matt, before they disappear.
And regarding Mark Cuban, Mark is about Mark, and positioning for a run in 2020. If the Dems had andy fucking sense, they would retire the Bern, the Elizabeth, the Biden, and whatever crap you have left, and recruit Howard Schultz, Bob Iger, or even a Sheryl Sandberg (do you even know who she is?).

Just like Mark Cuban probably has Trump's 'number' in regards to his connections to Russia, this article gives great insight into the dynamics involved behind why many people voted for Trump, and why many, if not most will remain loyal to him.
