WaPo: Chris Matthews sumps up Donald Trump’s Appeal:

IMO the Matthews/Cillizza thesis accounts for some of Trump’s appeal, but the fact that Trump won the GOP primary by out-bigoting and out-assholing the other GOP candidates can’t be forgotten.

Yes, it sucks that the elites are disconnecting themselves from the rest of society. That is not a justification for an eruption of bigotry and aggressive stupidity like the Trump campaign.

Most of this disconnection of the elites from everyone else is result of ever-increasing plutocracy. The obvious remedy is to reduce wealth/income inequality, rather than stoke bigotry and division among those who work for a living.
