Sign of the times to come?   Blue collar crossover to the Dark Side in '16?

Its curious because being a fairly conservative white guy- at least in appearance- I have little to fear from whomever gets elected. Don't have any tattoos, keep my hair and beard trimmed and dress conservatively. My pension is solid and everything else buttoned down. so from that standpoint I can sit and watch.

But its silly- Clinton doesn't represent any radical sea change from what is now status quo, versus Trump who would if he could dismantle everything Obama has done. Like I said elsewhere, common sense has left the building.

The forces of darkness may be strengthening but we have naked warriors ready to combat the darkness!

Strange?  For some reason Fox neglected to lead with that on either Outnumbered or The Five.  Seems news worthy enough.  .)

Just goes to show how much of a voice the crazy can have with the disenfranchised and desperate. They will unintentionally cut their nose to smite their face.

Youngstown has been a hotbed of mafia activity for years ...one of the most corrupt cities in the United States.  That's been known for quite some time especially in Ohio.
