So when Trump calls out the Quad or says he wants good coal mining jobs for ordinary Americans, that may well sound exactly as "that is what I was thinking but didn't dare say". But be sure he is speaking from a very well rehearsed angle.

The bottom 75% have 75% of the votes - the real question is how come Trump struggles so much to win.
