1. The Rev is right, poor people's vote, if they decide to execise it, is incredibly powerful.

If you look at countries where Communism/Dictatorships (one and the same) have taken power, like Venezuela, it was the poor people who voted the criminals from the regime into power, and this is the very delicate issue with those masses, if the government doesn't take care of educating them, of making their lives better, they will vote for the one who says "Only I can fix it, only I can help your lives", which is a lie to bring them to vote for them, and where the "I don't care about you, I just care about your vote" comes true, but once again, the danger is that people with very low education and dire economic situations are desperate for that person who they believe will help their cause because he/she says they will, and that is how dictatorships take power.

We need to try to open the eyes of people who still think they will vote for trump, not that I think trump has the edge, but it will be important that trump's defeat is so big that it may change the minds of many republican politicians and even open their minds to accept the fact that the country as a whole does not want their corrupt ideas...One can hope.
