Bill Clinton Gives a Trump Speech

The Daily Caller has a Bill Clinton speech given privately to donors in Canton, Ohio, a year ago. The text could have come word-for-word from a Trump speech, see what Bill is reported to have said.
Middle-aged, non-college-educated white Americans’ life expectancy is going down and is now lower than Hispanics, even though they make less money.

And the gap between African Americans and whites is closing, but unfortunately not because the death rate among African Americans is dropping but because the death rate among white Americans is rising.

Why? Because they don’t have anything to look forward to when they get up in the morning. Because their lives are sort of stuck in neutral.
Okay, we know Bill was trying to explain Trump's appeal to an audience baffled thereby, but it's clear he understands what motivates them, as he should. Trump supporters are the people among whom Clinton grew up.
