这真是精英与草民的对抗。
很多都表态了，据《国会山The Hill》统计，主流媒体大大小小没有一个支持淳朴（Donald Trump）：

支持克林顿（Hillary Clinton）的有17家（可悲，也不多，但还没过时，可以想象《华盛顿邮报》自然会支持克林顿）。
要了解淳阵民众心态，读读我的文章：
今天《大西洋月刊》实在忍不住了，“到了历史关键的一刻”，不能坐着不动，发出“反淳挺克”声音。
《新闻周刊》（记者Kurt Eichenwald）没人指责淳朴逃税，只是淳粉觉得世界不公平，这么多人不交税，得在自己的脑子里找个地方记记“自己的领袖也一般黑”。然而说淳朴生意手腕过人一等，意淫而已。Kurt Eichenwald揭露淳企（Trump Corporation）黑的长文，读读我的媒体真的给淳朴动真格了吗？
这是它159年第三次公开拥护一个总统候选人。
Against Donald Trump
For the third time since The Atlantic’s founding, the editors endorse a candidate for president. The case for Hillary Clinton
For the third time since The Atlantic’s founding, the editors endorse a candidate for president. The case for Hillary Clinton
不过淳阵铁杆不过选民的三成，据大家认可的估计，最后至少会有40%投淳朴的票，但大概难过45%。（注：即使如此，他也有可能当选，因为克林顿可能得票更少。）也就是说“精英与草民”并不是“全国老百姓”，但数目还是巨大，没人能忽视，不论谁执政，他们的要求必须得解决，愿望得以实现，否则国家无法治理。
《大西洋月刊》的声明也显得进退两难，第一前提不是“支持克林顿”，而是“反对淳朴”，尽管克林顿“非常称职”，但“个人缺点很多”。不知道主编们多少晚上没睡了。
The Atlantic has endorsed only three presidential candidates in 159 years. Abraham Lincoln (1860) and Lyndon B. Johnson (1964) were the first two
直到今天，159年以来《大西洋月刊》只公开拥护过两位总统候选人：林肯和约翰逊
“今天我们面临的处境跟1964能极其相近”，（Today, our position is similar to the one in which The Atlantic’s editors found themselves in 1964. We are impressed by many of the qualities of the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, even as we are exasperated by others, but we are mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, who might be the most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency）“坚决不能要淳朴”。
啊。
淳朴是建国227年以来最不称职的候选人。
《大西洋月刊》的态度与几天前《今日美国日报USA TODAY》的态度一样，希望尽量不挑边，但觉得到了“国家民族危险的时刻”：
USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is unfit for the presidency
The Editorial Board has never taken sides in the presidential race. We're doing it now
The Editorial Board has never taken sides in the presidential race. We're doing it now
是现有体制最大的得益者，是最善于利用体制机制的投机者《华尔街日报》Donald Trump Often Made Donations to State Attorneys General Reviewing His Business（《财富杂志》评论）也是最大的骗子淳朴说话无不是“最好”，“最棒”，“世上无双”，“独一无二”，“绝无仅有”，“胜人一筹”，“高人一等”之类，但结果是个大忽悠的是家常便饭。“史无前例的优惠力度”，“低税收，‘优雅生活’”基本上体制的寄生虫
天将降大难于斯人也。

Donald Trump’s former accountant says he’s not a tax genius and ‘didn’t understand the code’
“I did all the tax preparation. He never saw the product until it was presented to him for signature,”
“As far as I know, and that only goes through late ‘96, he didn't understand the [tax] code,” he added, in a separate interview with NBC News. “Nor would he have had the time and the patience to learn the provisions. That’s a lifetime of experience.”
I know our complex tax laws better than anyone who has ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them. #failing@nytimes

淳朴育儿优惠政策
这是淳营最新推出的“育儿优惠政策”宣传。淳朴在诸多政策上确实很左，出了共和党的界线，共和党也说不出话。“大减税高福利”是淳朴赢得大众的招数，建立在“信我的，经济自然上去，我是上帝造出来的就业最大的缔造者（原话：I’ll be the greatest president for jobs that God ever created），税收滚滚而来”的假设上，没钱，先借了再说，债务如何，谁管啊？
左右双方大家一致认可的是，他的税收育儿优惠政策是“越富得益越多”，跟他的减税政策一般，完全不是为了蓝领设的。
