Trump started his campaign on a racist tirade. This has nothing to do with economic issues.

Bernie sees it differently. So does Obama.

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Bernie is wrong to say they are legitimate.

I don’t see why economic issues wouldn’t be legitimate.
