Who is Trump's base?

Trump’s base is those who seek an alternative to the political elites - some swung left to Bernie others went to the ‘business man’ / maverick / celeb. In the UK they went for Brexit and the socialist Corbyn.

…

We’re not short of a pattern now. It almost doesn’t matter what people like Trump say, it’s absolutely enough they aren’t mainstream politicians.

It’s good to see that you’ve changed your opinion since last month in the Corbyn thread and are now agreeing with me.

After a couple of decades of centrist politics, both of the big British political parties are moving away from the political middle ground.

@up_the_junction

WTF are you talking about; Theresa May has just erected the biggest centre ground tent we’ve seen since Blair was a candidate.

@Walken_After_Midnight

How on Earth do you see recent developments in the Conservative Party as a move towards the centre?

@up_the_junction

I think you are seriously, seriously misreading.
