   MSNBC host left stunned after asking black and Hispanic Republicans why   
   they're voting Trump   
      
   --------------------------------   
      
   They don't know what to think (for themselves!) when forced to face that   
   their elaborate lie is falling apart.   
      
   A good example was the Market Basket incident in which the non-union   
   employees stood up for their billionaire CEO when he was forced out in a   
   family dispute. The media didn't know what to say or write when Labor   
   rallied to support Management, which can't happen in their world view.   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Basket_protests   
   It wasn't a strike, the workers remained on the job, but their contagious   
   enthusiasm for Arthur T. enlisted sympathetic customers to cripple the chain   
   with a near total boycott.   
      
   "Customers chose not to shop at Market Basket due to the lack of product   
   and/or as a form of protest. Stores that usually had over 100 customers in   
   them at one time now had only a few. Most employees did not strike, thus the   
   stores remained fully staffed but employees had little or nothing to do.   
   Many of them joined the protesters outside or performed acts of protest   
   inside the store, such as writing "Boycott Market Basket" on the window,   
   placing signs encouraging customers to not shop there, leaving frozen dairy   
   products out to spoil, or refusing to stock shelves."   
      
   I've never seen the store scrubbed so clean. Frozen food and fresh produce   
   were scarce, non-perishables from outside vendors remained fully stocked. I   
   shopped there a few times to pick up what Walmart didn't have and listen to   
   their stories.
