Letters: Average voters have no voice

Charles Blow’s Wednesday column, “What Trump’s rise tells us about ourselves,” couldn’t have said it better: Average, middle-class Americans are truly frustrated because no one represents them.

The Democratic Party is for minorities of all types. The GOP is for the well-to-do. No one’s for the average Joes, and they’re steaming mad.

RIP GOP.
