Bruce Springsteen, a world famous rocker from New Jersey, voiced his opinions of the politics of Trump during a CNN interview. Springsteen said he believes Trump will win again come 2020 because there is not a strong enough Democrat who can tackle his base of primarily uneducated whites and win them over. Springsteen has been known in the past to be on the liberal side of the spectrum and has campaigned and performed on the behalf of two previous democratic candidates.
I am a really big fan of Bruce Springsteen; both what he stands for and his music are very inspiring. That being said I think the reason he should be commended here is not for either of those, but for his honesty. His opinion that Trump will win the presidency again is not a new one, but it means a lot coming from a big name celebrity. Hopefully the audience of this article consists of people who need that bitter taste in their mouth to take action and ensure that Trump isn't our president for a second term. Springsteen brings up the point of Trump having an unwavering support group of uneducated whites and that Democrats have to get the mass on their side in order to move forward. He says that a democratic candidate must be able to "speak some of the same language as Trump" in order for this to take place. Bruce Springsteen's political opposition of Trump can connect to many others doing the same in the past for other politicians, including the Dixie Chicks and Green Day who spoke against president George W. Bush.
