there are those few that realize the GOP is a con to preserve wealth among a few who may be well educated and unscrupulous. Basically the guys funding the party

So an exact mirror of the National Democratic Party, eh.

Who cares who his clients are. This not so silent coup attempt must not stand.

There is more than meets the eye here. Hannity is not a real legal client of Cohen's, but Cohen , and now Hannity, once the gravity of the situation began to sink in, are attempting to establish attorney client privilege to try and protect something related to hannity that Cohen believes was seized when the warrant was executed. It is something that may compromise Hannity, possibly endangering his career at Fox. The attempt to establish privilege with regard to Hannity was prominently evident at the other day's hearing in New York.

Both Cohen and his Boss Trump are in a heap of Trouble! And now it appears Hannity may have been inadvertently snared. This seems to have sharply escalated the danger for Trump because of the possibility that it will be proved that Cohen was in Prague.

Was the social media campaign against Clinton being actively orchestrated not by Russian on their own, but by Trump with offered Russian help and Cohen acting as the go between and facilitator??? This is almost too bizarre to contemplate until one considers how active Trump has been throughout his career in attempting to smear anyone he sees as standing in his way. Both motive and means existed. The means because of Trump's extensive Russian contacts. He never would have dreamed it could be uncovered. There may be a good reason why Trump's hair is rapidly fading from orangutan orange to white.

And where is Felix Sater?

The reality is that Cohen is a “fixer” rather than a lawyer. He uses a combination of legal tactics, payoffs, and threats to keep people quiet on the behalf of very wealthy individuals.

Really? Because they don't believe in your completely screwed up way of thinking, they can't possibly be educated, right?

Pure liberal arrogance - and from someone who spent his whole life in academics. What a shocker!

That's a bit of a generalization, no? I know plenty of educated and wealthy voters that do not vote democrat.

Not really. You're conflating a handful of people (outside say a Trump rally) vs. two million registered voters earning over $250K a year. That demographic is predominately educated professionals.

Heh, I've never gone to a Trump rally.

Do you have reliable demographic information that supports the assertion that educated and/or wealthy voters predominantly vote democrat? Because everything I've looked up doesn't support that.

This is from the Pew study and the numbers really don't show stark differences on education.

Regarding income level, this study showing how people voted in the last election doesn't show any difference at the highest income levels, shows a higher concentration from 50-100k for Trump and a massively higher concentration for below 50k.

So I think you can say that poorer Americans voted for Trump, and you can say that less educated Americans voted for Trump. But you can't really say the most educated and highest earners vote Democrat, at least not based on this information.

Laces provided the data. Post #25. 6% of voters. 52/46 vote DEM. 200MM reg voters. 200*0.06 = 12MM. 52/46-1=13% diff. 1,560,000 of those earning in excess of $200K vote DEM.

We've gone from a sitting president being accused of collusion with Russians to hyperventilating over a conversation between talk show host and a lawyer. I'd hate to play golf with you lefties. You'd hit a wicked slice that happened to hole out three greens over and call it a hole in one.

Ok, I took a look at that post. I don't know what the source is (he didn't say) but that was the Obama/McCain election. I thought we were talking about Clinton/Trump.

I identify as a republican (registration wise), and I voted for Obama in the election in 2008. The demographics now are quite different, and the election choice of Clinton v. Trump was a different election entirely.

I think that it's awesome that you voted for Obama even though you may now regret that decisions. I audited his class at UC.

Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3MM votes. I'd imagine the numbers are more lopsided DEM at the top on income-demo.
