      1. The big political fact going forward is that Trump's coalition, which is more working class than normal GOP, is at odds with party agenda

      2. Trump won an electoral college victory with a populist-sounding economic message but that's not what Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell are.

      3. It's hard to square Trump's populist agenda with the plutocrats he's surrounded himself with or Paul Ryan's hunger for small gov't

          Question is whether his base notices or cares. So far they've shown a willingness to accept counterfactual claims at face value.

          So it's entirely possible his base does horrible stuff, he says "it's fine because reasons" or "it's the Democrats' fault!"

          4. This is the great opening for the Dems in next few years & why they need populist voices like Sanders to call Trump's bluff.

          The Dems need to channel their roots in the Labor movement & the social justice work of Dorothy Day.

          Which is more important to him, to be loved or to enrich himself? Probably can't straddle that fence.

          Trump is like Rob Ford. Anomaly of celebrity. Will screw up over/over & people forgive or don't care. It will end badly

          This is because he was lying. It’s not hard to grasp. He lies a lot. Assume anything he says is a lie.
