If Trump voters read Robert Reich’s list of cons on them will they believe?

Many think it is a fool’s errand to try to reach the Trump voters. Invest the time into a base that is more in line with Progressives but who do not vote. Yes, we must. But we must also keep opening the eyes of all those fooled by Trump’s con and the Republican failed ideology. Robert Reich did it spectacularly.

The reality is that investments in those, irrespective of ethnicity, who have a culture of voting, helping them see the light is a sticky investment. So if we appeal to them, if we cater the message, in a form they will absorb, we will get somewhere.

Robert Reich’s recent article “New Year’s Update for Trump Voters” enumerates 20 of Donald Trump’s many promises that went unfulfilled.

1. He told you he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him would pay more.
2. He promised to close “special interest loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors
3. He told you he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “beautiful.”
