This is to distort, grossly, the meaning of "lumpenproletariat"--that word means the ordinary CRIMINAL element, a class that scarcely exists in American society (as distinct from the lumpencapitalists, the social base of the Clintons and their Demoncrudic apparatchiks). NAFTA with all its acronymized successors is a perfectly valid working-class issue that accounts for the Trumpe-l'oeil's success so far and would (combined with the overflowing bin of "Opposition Research" on the Clinton) easily produce a Demoncrudic disaster in November should the Repugnicon apparatchiks somehow fail to destroy their own campaign at their convention and their counterparts somehow escape their suicidal propensities and manage to dump the Clinton as the loser she most certainly is.
