I have always tried to vote for candidates who I find convincing, because they support their views with sound arguments and data. Generally those are candidates which are part of the "elite" that people like Trump like to whine about.
If that counts as saloon room abstractions, so be it. I am not ashamed about it and I won't apologize for it. Screw the "working class" in that case.
FYI, I'm a low income worker. Most of my collegues wouldn't vote for a guy like Trump either. "Working class" in a context like this is just a euphenism for intellectually lazy people who get their political beliefs from their gut. And I don't mean lowly educated- there's a difference.
