It seems like every politician is all about growing the middle class. But how many politicians actually know how to do it? The left says we need things like a higher minimum wage and more “green jobs.” Do those things really grow the middle class? Or do they stand in the way of growth? Find out in this new video.

I listened to Trump, in Hunstville, campaigning for "Big" Luther Strange. Trump does not know when to stop talking yet, in his own way, he covers a lot of subjects in a down to earth, unvarnished manner. No, he was not presidential. He was simply having fun being himself. The problem is he seems to be in love with the sound of his voice and his ego is "uge.". Much of what he says I agree with but the way he says it basically is a turn off but then I left Alabama in1946 and only returned on vacations or to visit my folks..
However, being from Alabama, I believe I understand his appeal. I have no knowledge of Luther Strange nor his opponent, Roy Moore, Alabama's former Chief Justice who was forced to resign because he kept ignoring the Federal Supreme Court's edicts.
If Moore wins the mass media will portray his victory as a rejection of Trump. If Strange wins a full seat (he was appointed to fill Session's term.) Trump will probably get little credit.
Some of my dearest Birmingham and Montgomery friends and family members are praying Moore does not win.
Alabama remains one of the southern states that still reminds me of the old south. The state is very steeped in nationalism and Trump's speech was all red meat. Hillary could never make a speech like Trump did in Huntsville. Hillary obviously laid eggs in most of America as did Trump in New York and California.
The wine and cheese crowd can't stand Trump. Liberals distrust him, they see only his warts and he turns them off because they believe he is a fraud. Meanwhile American's beer drinking patriotic deplorables are turned on by Trump because, with all his billions, they see a man they relate to who defends their interests and stands up for America. These deplorables feel they have been ignored, their country sold down the river and they are fed up with what is happening to America and the land they no longer know/recognize. When he talked about football and tells the NFL owners, referring to football players who will not stand for the flag, "... get that son of a bitch off the field" Hillary would look like an even bigger fool if she tried that while Trump get's rousing applause.
If you want to get a literary feel for Trump read Lewis' "Elmer Gantry."
After many decades "Rocket Man - Fat Boy" may have finally met his match. Stay tuned.
