And who are these "Elites" you speak of?

By definition an "Elite" is a group of people with power, who approve more of their way of life than other peoples and want to preserve it for themselves. What they dont want is for everyone to share in what they have. They simply wish to enforce their ways, values and standards on everyone else, because they are better. So. I ask you. Who are the real Elitists? Sanders, Warren and co? Or McConnell, Graham and Pence? Lets leave Trump out of this.. You can call him a lot of things. But Elite doesnt apply to him at all.

"Elites" was a term coined by the right wing to cast "Us vs. Them" aspersions on Democrats who are educated, successful and, more than likely, urban dwellers.
Not even sure what to say to Trump not being elitist. He's lived his whole life around big money and wouldn't have walked across the street to spit on a "real American" prior to running for office. He's the EPITOME of elitism.

@Ynotisay While he has the trappings of wealth to put him in the company of the Elite, he does lack the conservative views and Old name of say a Rockefeller. Cast back and there was a time when the Kennedy family didnt make the cut.
