I dont know what you're tripping on, but liberals policies hurt the middle class more than Trump will ever. -You can't cater to all three classes -Liberals pander to the low class -Liberals are ALL talk about taking from the rich. Hillary is so far up the elites ass that any policy will have a loophole for the rich to take advantage of the poor and middle class. (eg: Obamacare allowing insurance companies to cancel policies at the end of the year OR just dropping out all together) Im not going to argue if the Bush tax cuts were good or bad, but they certainly helped the middle class.
As much as Wall Street hates her, with all their money, they'd be running the most expensive dirty tricks campaign in the history of campaigns. I love her unreservedly, but when you start messing with amoral wealthy people's cash printing press, you are playing with fire. This is not to say I don't think someone needs to reign them in - that would be near the top of the list of things I think this country needs - it is just that I think that in practical terms, I think it is pretty problematic for a candidate.
You can pander to all three classes. Economics isn't zero sum. What you can't pander to is all interests...and successfully get away with it.
LOL... "you can't pander to all three classes" must have been the latest Trump message tweeted and sent out on Facebook. So empty...
Funny how Trump is using right wing version of Hope and Change platform. When will Republicans realize they wasted 8 years opposing policies they will support when a fat white man says it.
If Bernie would have won he would be wiping the floor with Trump right now since he can appeal to both the urban millennials/yuppies and the white working class in middle America.
Wall Street can adapt to any certainty, it's uncertainty that stymies investment. With Trump you have no idea what the political climate would be. With HRC it's just 4 more years of gridlock in the corporate sweet spot. Interestingly that is the message my nephew the investment advisor is taking to his millionaire/billionaire clients. He usually treads very lightly on politics and just echos their conservative opinions back to them.
What would help the middle class would be Single Payer health coverage, student debt relief and free college, repatriation of taxable monies and tax code reform to prevent it in the future, the development of new green industries and infrastructure reinvestment. Are these in the GOP platform?

Perhaps they put a few extra dollars in a middle class family's pocket, but when taking into account the broader effects, they certainly did NOT help the middle class. http://www.businessinsider.com/bush-era-tax-cuts-didnt-fix-economy-2012-12
If Obama was as thinned skinned as Trump, he would have removed media access of his press conferences from Fox News in 2007. No Trump supporter is concerned on how easy it is for Trump to remove media access from media outlets because of criticism?
There's no evidence the middle class benefited from the Bush tax cuts which was primarily a boon to the rich. What those tax cuts did was take money from the economy and stick it into the richest pockets. There's this false narrative that cutting taxes solves all problems. But when the gov't is a pillar of the economy - weakening that to help the rich have more money to spend overseas actually hurts the middle class.
The Republican Candidate for President, folks: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0vGkRpOeBzo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And this guy would have nuclear authorization as President? "Believe me, I'm gonna bomb those guys so haaaaard, their heads will spin."
