OBAMA GOT IT RIGHT. AND TRUMP EXPlOITED IT.

Didn't Obama get it right when he suggested that working-class voters "get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustration"? Is not Trump's "success" based on his ability to tap into that mainly, but not exclusively, white working-class anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-trade, pro-gun, hyper-religiosity bitterness?
