This is the only reason I enjoy watching The Donald at work.  He is pissing off exactly the right people.  I don't really trust him but all the other choices suck even more.

He's making the Establishment uncomfortable. But who he's actually pissing off are a type of swing voter who the GOP needs to win. The whole US is not a bunch of angry white high school educated former factory workers and tradesmen displaced by illegals. There are plenty of boring suburban and urban educated people who are neither part of "the Establishment" nor part of any solid political camp. This demographic I describe are not elites ... they are "merely" middle class, mainly in the "upper middle class" category. These are the modern equivalent of the "soccer moms" of the 1990s. But today's version is more diverse and has many immigrants (not the poor types ... rather, the white collar professional types). Talk about pissing off people ... this demographic is royally pissed right now. This demographic has been forgotten thus far in this election. But given current choices most will hold their noses and pull the lever for the Democrat in November.

The General Election hasn't even started yet. Trump would have several months to court middle-class and upper-middle class voters by pointing out that neo-liberal globalism would cause downward Mobility for them. Trump would attract them by championing his protectionist policies.
