Angst Quote by Bob Ehrlich

“It's not just Republicans. It's Republicans and Democrats. It's middle class, lower middle class, working class Americans who have felt the angst, who are frustrated, who are angry as a result of 1% growth which, in my view, has been really the issue that has propelled Donald Trump from day one.” quote by Bob Ehrlich
