500,000 Unemployed People Voting For Donald Trump

500,000 Unemployed People Voting For Donald Trump Theyre hiding in the shadows.  Scared.  Embarrassed. Are they illegal aliens sneaking across the border in waves?  Is the Trump Wall going to solve the problem? Is that why theyre voting for Trump? Actually No. It is a different demographic.  People hiding in the shadows for another reason.  Hidden by government numbers that dont count them. Theyre the 99ers. No, not the 49ers.    This isnt about kneeling during the National Anthem. No.  This is about those who have been unemployed for over 99 weeks. While  Over Half A Million People Have Been Unemployed For 2 Years Or More, the statistics dont show that.  And the government doesnt want you to know that for sure. Theyre selling the shell game that draws you in with a rosy 5% unemployment rate that economists consider Full Employment.  But dig under the hood and it isnt really what you see on TV. Try selling that  to the 99ers.  Or to those who are now underemployed just to make ends meet.  Theyre not buying. The real story is this The data show that from 1967 until the Great Recession, people unemployed for at least 99 weeks never exceeded 5.6 percent of the total number of unemployed Americans. The 5.6 percent high was set in 1985. But currently, these 99ers represent 8.1 percent of the jobless, down from 14.5 percent in 2012. So what is really happening is people are still not able to find jobs or find jobs at a level they had before layoffs hit. And that is where Trumps message hits home, Make America Great Again. People know they are hurting.  They dont feel like anyone really cares.  Theyre tired of the establishment games of telling people theyll help them then ignoring them after theyre elected.  Or politicians and their cronies making trade deals that are killing industries that supported their towns for generations. Whether that is steel, or coal mining, or drilling for oil or fracking.  Or even at the state level.  Like California, where the regulations are so restrictive and the taxes so high, that anyone who isnt tied to the state for another reason, will move out of state (or out of the country) just to stay in business and stay competitive. So people are fed up. They arent going to take it any more.  And so theyre registering to vote for the first time in years.  Theyre ignored in the polls because theyre busy scrapping and trying to put food on the  table. And will the half million 99ers vote for Trump?  When no blog votes 100% in lockstep.  But when you consider what theyre feeling and saying, I think that wave is coming. The Huffington Post Article shares one familys story After they lost their home in 2011, Zapasnik and her husband moved to a campground in Roebuck, South Carolina. He found work in a school cafeteria and as a custodian. She said that work pays much less than he used to earn. Although Zapasnik thinks of herself as having been unemployed since 2008, she doesn’t count as a 99er anymore by the government’s standards. In South Carolina, she’s had some part-time work as an office temp thanks to an AARP program for people older than 55. She has also received a few offers for home health care positions, though she doesn’t want to go back to that type of work. She said she’s currently unemployed,  applying for jobs online but only occasionally receiving a response, usually a form letter saying her name will be kept on file. She said she doesn’t believe the official statistics reflecting a better economy. “I don’t care what the government says,” Zapasnik said. “They’re lying.” Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump loves to cast doubt on the government’s unemployment statistics. Zapasnik isn’t much of a Trump supporter but wouldn’t rule out voting for him. She said she hasn’t voted since casting a ballot for Ross Perot in 1992. “To tell you the truth, we don’t really have anybody to choose from,” she said. And the wave continues while the Weekend at Bernies crowd of Hillary Clinton political operatives scramble to make Hillary believable as a viable candidate and in collusion with the media, carefully craft messages that shes leading in the polls and attempt to scuttle the oppositions energy. But Trump continues to pull mammoth crowds while Hillary struggles to fill a cafe. And so they prop up the lies, hoping that the American Public will buy them one more time. But were on to them now.  It isnt going to work this time.  It will be a landslide.  But not the one they were hoping for. It will be a Trump-nado! And he will put good, hard-working, blue collar people back to work.  He will revive this nation.  And the wave that thought they were voting for prosperity with Obamas Change message will turn into real, positive change under a Trump Presidency. And America will be great again.
