Coatesville Dems: Is it really the 2 most disliked candidates ever?

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Is it really the 2 most disliked candidates ever?

This election was supposed to be Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump is the Republican grassroots favorite.

Republican Party leaders wanted Jeb Bush.

The polar opposite happened on the Democratic side.

Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic grassroots favorite.

Democratic leaders overwhelmingly backed Clinton.

She was the chosen one before the primary election began. Bernie Sanders was unknown early in the primaries. It’s clear now that Bernie Sanders was the grassroots favorite.

I’m not sure we have the two most disliked presidential candidates ever.

Even Clinton’s supporters are holding their noses to vote for her. Only Clinton wealthy friends seem to like Hillary. Most of the Democratic leadership respects her, in the way that mafia leaders are respected.

Many people are justifiably terrified of a president Trump.

About 1/2 of the Republican leadership doesn't like him because he's uncontrollable. They are willing to cede the election to Clinton. Clinton is a known quantity.

But his supporters worship him. His supporters make up 40% of the GOP.

In a Trump misogynist event that happened 5 years ago dug up by the Clinton team, many Republicans saw a chance to distance themselves from Trump without harming their prospects of being elected.

SO THIS HAPPENED:

“Republican Party leaders have been grappling with an uncomfortable reality: Their most reliable voters are entirely disconnected from the GOP leadership. The grassroots don’t interpret these controversies the same way as the party elite. The results of a Politico/Morning Consult online panel survey, conducted in the immediate aftermath of the release of the Trump tape, illustrated this dynamic in stark terms. A whopping 74 percent of GOP respondents wanted party officials to continue to stand by Trump; only 13 percent disagreed. The one day poll, conducted on Saturday, showed Trump trailing Clinton by only 4 points.”
