“Now you have to ask a question - is that really, is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? Or is that in fact somehow a little bit of a flawed system? And so I do draw distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families and broken neighborhoods and then leaving a factory that should be there.” PeopleShouldLittlesFactsAsksBitsAbilityWalksBehindsCompanyRichBrokenRepublicanLittle BitDrawsCapitalismLeavingDistinctionNeighborhoodFactoriesManipulateFlawedHandfulRich PeopleLootingBroken Family Author:Newt Gingrich

“I do believe that our ability to jam the Trump brand is somewhat limited. I think we can chip away at it, but ultimately the way to undermine the Trump brand is a better product in the political marketplace, if you'll forgive the capitalist metaphor. I do think that the negative messaging on Trump is severely limited because he is tapping into a very deep, and in many a rightful, desire for deep change, and a feeling that the whole system is so broken and so corrupt that you might as well raise a middle finger as some kind of act of agency.” ThinkingBelieveKindFeelingsPoliticalDesireAbilityBrokenNegativeForgivingMetaphorCapitalistVery DeepMiddle Finger Author:Naomi Klein
