Racoon could refer to black people, depending on where you're from....but I don't think that's what the lady meant. Maybe the analogy should have been a foundation problem, or a different type of pest, but whatever.

It does help explain why people are attracted to Trump. It's saying "I don't care if he's an egotistical maniac, he's not weak and corrupt like those other guys." I'd say it plays right into that article about "authoritarianism" that was shared earlier this weekend.

        This kinda sums up the “Trump” thing from a letter written by
        an 80 year old lady responding to a request for financial
        support.    I have no dog in this hunt, but it’s pretty easy
        to see the “appeal” to the masses, not just the extremists.
        Anybody frustrated with the past xx years of congress/politics
        is affected to some level to the directness of what Trump
        brings to the table.   To me, I seem to vote for the best
        option each time to effect strength into a greatly weekend
        nation. I am still withholding final judgement on this.

        Anyway, this letter from her kinda makes it really simple, and
        really simple is what most Americans see (and need) these days.

        Dear Representative,

        From the time I was able to vote I voted Republican. I am 80
        years old, and have a great deal of respect and influence with
        hundreds of senior ball players who also network with
        thousands of others around the country.

        I received your questionnaire and request for money and
        strongly agree with every question, as I have since Obama was
        elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is
        “What have the Republicans done for the American people?” We
        gave you a majority in the House and Senate, yet you never
        listened to us. Now you want our money.

        You should be more concerned about our votes, not our money.
        You are the establishment, which means all you want is to save
        your jobs and line your pockets… Well guess what? “It’s not
        going to happen” You shake in your boots when I tell you we’re
        giving our support to TRUMP and he hasn’t asked for a dime.

        You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a
        self destruction course, but you need to look beyond
        Washington and listen to the masses. Nobody has achieved what
        he has, especially in the liberal state of New York.

        You clearly don’t understand why the Trump movement is so
        strong, so I’d like to share with you an analogy to help
        explain the Trump phenomenon. By the way, it’s not just the
        Republicans who feel ignored and disrespected, there are
        plenty of Democrats and Independents who also feel let down by
        the Washington elite. You seem to have  forgotten about “We
        The People” and who hired you to represent us.

        So here it is, the best analogy I could come up with. Here is
        the reason so many Americans have boarded the Trump Train, and
        why your pleas to come back to the party who deserted us, is
        falling on deaf ears:

        /You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and
        your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid,
        messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want
        them gone immediately…You call the city and four different
        exterminators, but nobody could handle the job. There is this
        one guy however, who guarantees you he will get rid of them,
        so you hire him. You don’t care if the guy smells, you don’t
        care if the guy swears, you don’t care how many times he’s
        been married, you don’t care if he was friends with liberals,
        you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those
        raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He’s the guy. He’s
        the best. Period. Here’s why we want Trump: Yes he’s a bit of
        an ass, yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. The country
        is a mess because politicians have become too self-serving.
        The Republican Party is two-faced & gutless. Illegal aliens
        have been allowed to invade our nation. We want it all fixed!
        We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he
        insults people, we don’t care that he had been friendly with
        Hillary, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t
        care that he’s been married three times, we don’t care that he
        fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, we don’t care
        that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorist. /

        /This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of
        us, we are being invaded by illegal aliens and bringing tens
        of thousands of Muslim refugees to America, while leaving
        Christians behind to be persecuted. We are becoming a nation
        of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is part of a
        special group with special rights, to the point where we don’t
        even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE
        JUST WANT IT FIXED” and Trump is the only guy who seems to
        understand what the people want. /

        /We’re sick of politicians. We’re sick of the Democratic Party
        and the Republican Party. We just want this thing fixed. Trump
        may not be a saint, but he isn’t beholden to lobbyist money
        and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All
        we know is that he has been very successful, he’s an excellent
        negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s also not a
        politician. He’s definitely not a cowardly politician. When he
        says he’ll fix it, we believe him because he is too much of an
        egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar./

        /Oh yeah…I forgot…we don’t care if the guy has bad hair either. /

        /We just want those raccoons gone. /

        /Out of your house. /

        /NOW!/

            And I appreciate the honesty except that I believe you are
            wrong by painting everyone with the same brush.  I’m not a
            Trump fanatic, I’m just an anti-everyone else who I
            already know person.

            1)For every bad businessman who became a politician, I can
            show you a good one. They are no better or worse than any
            of the lawyers we have had and I can argue the lawyers
            have been the worst and most corrupt.

            2)The mistake I think you are making is that a politician
            is a good thing.  At this point, running a country, state,
            or even a city is like running a company.  If you don’t
            understand the economics of the business, you are doomed,
            hence the stupid statements by a Nancy Pelosi who says “we
don’t have spending problem, we have a deficit problem”. Therefore you want a CEO experience set.

            3)It’s wrong to say a business person runs thing like a
            dictatorship.  The reality is that a CEO has to bring the
            people who work for him into the same vision. If he
            doesn’t, the business fails. That’s pure political
            experience right there.

            4)You and I simply aren’t going to agree on the Obama
            decision as I agree with Trump.  Everything he did,
            including all the decisions with the FCC and the influence
            of Google and the lobbyists that have hurt this industry,
            start with him, even if he was told what to do.  At the
            same time, the Republicans have been bought and sold by
            big companies also, I have no answer here.  So given no
            good answer, how about trying something new, it simply
            can’t get worse.

            5)The lusting comment was completely misunderstood.  It
            was his way of saying his daughter is beautiful.  Yea, it
            was inappropriate but I could say the sky is blue and my
            enemies would tell me that I hate the sky since I think
            it’s depressing.  Of course, they could also say I am
            racist which they have, regardless of how despicable and
            untrue it is.  Anyone who knows me, and you clearly don’t,
            know I abhor racism at all levels, regardless of who is
            promoting it on either side.  I hate race hustlers and
            excuses for failure, big difference.

            I stand by what I posted.   Business men have done poorly
            as politicians for the most part.   You need statesmanship
            and working knowledge of how system works. Its not a CEO
            position or dictatorship..... our government works because
            of separation of powers....the checks and balance is set
            up to prevent this.   Congress has the lowest rating ever
            even though Republicans run it.  They are so bent on
stopping anything Obama does that it is beyond stupid. Trump is a pervert who lusted for his daughter... that
            alone is bad...he lies about illegal workers under his
            watch, he lies about everything just about,  no one has
            had more fact checks disprove him.  I don't revise
            history...I don't skew the answers,  I don't cover for
            politicians....I don't swallow the bull shit....I call it
            as I see it based on research from different sources not
            Facebook or Fox Tv. I watch Fox to compare to others I
            watch....great thing I have Direct and TWC...I get to hear
            different perspectives from BBC, Deutsche Wells, Indian
            Times, Japanese and Mexican stations as well   Some in
            English and some not...thank you pops for encouraging us
            to learn several languages besides American!   If the shoe
            fits,  don't take it off...your state Rory like my adopted
            state of Texas are full of racists who like Trump is
            saying.  But thank God we are not all that dim witted to
            follow a fool.   Almost has a fanatical flavor just like
            idiots that take the Islamic beliefs and turn into a
            terror based murder system.     Any fanaticism is wrong.
            Trump followers are like heroin addicts... they don't care
            about anything but their fix.... so craven lackey fits.

            There are those of us who simply want someone in power for

            Trump, so be it.  I’d take Triumph, the Insult Comic dog

            actually stand in *front* of him, and then *behind* him. I
            know a bit

            the least bit worried that this was a simple misdirection
            to pull the
            Secret Service's attention away from the real plan. Then
            they open his
            circle of protection back up *very* quickly...

            Maybe I'm overanalyzing the video, and maybe I'm thinking
            too highly
            of the capabilities and training of the Secret Service...
