    Trump is noticeably more humane in comments on poor people than mainstream conservatives like Kevin Williamson.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/721161647944036352 …

    Trump tonight on food stamp recipients: "It's not their fault... we need jobs" Can't recall him ever bashing people on public assistance.

        @HeerJeet So long as those people aren't Mexicans, Muslims, Chinese, etc. But, yeah, he's totally a George-Wallace-style socialist.

        .@JimbauxsJournal @HeerJeet The GOP as a whole is disgustingly racist. Funny to see senior conservatives suddenly concerned about it now.

        @HeerJeet Trump wants their votes. Poor people don't subscribe to National Review.

        @kylejhutton @HeerJeet shhh. some liberals have a compulsive need to make the occasional nice remark about Trump to feel objective.

        @HeerJeet @mtracey it's a conundrum for conservatives, also came out when he asked Cruz if he would let people die in the streets.

        @HeerJeet @mtracey Drawing on the anger based on the lack of jobs or the perception thereof is a key part of his platform.

        @dsrouse @HeerJeet I think Williamson proves that true conservatism will tend towards cruelty in the face of any facts on the ground.
