In combat, it's Trump voters want

When I was in the Army, our drill instructor told us if we wanted to know the full measure of a man, that there was a way. He told us to look around and ask yourself which of these men you would want beside you when you go into combat.

Sometimes the guy you want beside you in combat is not the same guy you want to have a beer with. Some voters may not want to have a beer with Mr. Trump, but in combat he seems the right choice.

Voters feel that they are at war with 1) the political establishment, 2) the wealthy elite, and 3) the mainstream media.

Their votes gain them no representation. Their paychecks keep shrinking and their voices are never heard. These voters keep losing in their fight against these three.

Trump keeps winning whenever he fights these three. It seems likely that Mr. Trump's combative ways will lead him to victory in November. And it's all because Mr. Trump has given these voters a voice and a hope.
