Confessore describes ways in which the Republican Party agenda moved away from the interests of ordinary American working class voters in the last decade, ignoring some of the effects of the 2008 financial crisis and the deep recession in the years that followed.
Social and economic mobility for the middle class emerging as the central issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign
09/13/2015
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in the Demcratic Party, and Jeb Bush in the Republican Party, are making social and economic mobility for the middle and working class a central issue in the 2016 presidential campaign. In Britain Corbyn's election to the leadership of the Labor Party with all other candidates doing poorly, is also creating a focus on economic issues and better access to education and jobs.

The future for conservatism and the Republican Party as seen at the American Enterprise Institute in 2016 with the popularity of Trump
01/27/2016
A resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute says the Republican Party and conservatism have missed the problems facing the working class, leading to the popularity of Trump. He sees dangers in the deportation of 11 million Hispanic Americans that Trump has called for, and says conservatism and Republican ought to mean many positive things to working Americans that have missed out on opportunities in the last decade- that it will take many years and more than one election cycle to change this. In fact Speaker Ryan called for a forum on poverty and inequality for working class people, only after Trump increased his popularity by appealing to older white Americans left out by changes in the economy in the last decade.

Donald Trump and traditional Democrats voting in open Republican primaries
03/26/2016
A NYT report shows that the support of traditional Democrats in Blue states such as Massachusetts and in the midwest has helped propel Trump to a series of wins in Republican primaries in Jan-March 2016. There is also some correlation with a higher degree of racism, according to this NYT report. This is how Trump was able to combine wins in Mississippi and Massachusetts. Conversely states with higher serious churchgoers such as Utah and Texas have supported Ted Cruz. This theory has exceptions because of John Kasich's win in Ohio, Cruz's win in Maine and his close contest with Trump in Louisiana and Missouri, showing that a number of factors are at work, including Trump's ability to appeal to voter sentiment on issues, the fragmentation of the Republican vote, and the lack of connection with voters on issues of terrorism, security, struggling middle and working class people issues, of the other candidates. The profiles of Trump voters from his rallies show these concerns listed by his supporters.

This one anecdote perfectly explains how Donald Trump is hijacking the GOP - The Washington Post
Washington Post 03/28/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
