Although I think that the economic issues that Sebby mentions driving support for Trump are really more applicable to Bernie. I don't think dislike of Summers or Rubin is all that relevant to the GOP. Economic angst and uncertainty certainly is in the mix, but I think that the Trump voter is more focused on blaming the Other (or the GOP elected officials who promised to "fix things" and then didn't) than he is in blaming Larry or Bob.

Of course Not Bob defends Rubin.
