Trump Speaks Like Regular Folk

[Neo-Scholastic]

Well, I know that's the most important factor I use when voting.  He talks like a regular guy.  That obviously means he's real down to earth.  I mean he has to be!  He's only declared bankruptcy 6 times, and is a billionaire who owns his own private jet plated in gold.  Who doesn't own one of those?  My husband has 2!  He sure seems like the type of guy you can sit down and buy a beer company with.

And that is the problem with Hillary she is like do you stand by me instead of running a campaign like that she should say
i'll stand by you. If she ran her campaign and actually gave a fuck about the working class and she would do a hell of a lot better
than what she is now. That's what people want in a president so when Trump goes oh hey i know it's hard for the working class
you know what ill bring jobs back get American working again and increase federal minimum wage.  When people hear that
and see that on TV it's what draws people to vote for Trump no one i mean gets drawn to Hillary with her ads they are 
focused attack ads using Trump then saying kids shouldn't be watching this... like.. really now children cant vote nor do they
care about the president going to be elected politics isn't for children. If she came out with a ad supporting her positions and
frankly well policies...she would have no voters.  There is a reason why she said she isn't for the TPP only to get voters..

Maybe I'm just jaded form Illinois and Chicago machine politics where pay-to-play is the norm. Corruption in this country has grown so widespread that many politicians don't even bother to hide it anymore because they are openly above the law. At least locally. To me, the Clinton foundation, Hillary's e-mail disgrace and lack of consequences for her indifference to the safety of our diplomats in Lybia is just the same thing on a national scale.

I can respect political differences. I think people that support Hillary feel strongly about left-wing policies and are sincere. I may disagree but that's why we have elections. So I encourage them to vote for every Democrat on the ticket if they want...except Hillary. Anyone else would have been put in jail for what she's done and if you performed your job like she has done her job you'd be fired. Instead you're giving her a promotion. Sanders wasn't a criminal. And he earned every vote he got, whereas her rise to power has been entirely by appointments and nearly uncontested elections.

As I see it people who object to Trump do so because of his style. He's said a lot of boneheaded things, but so have all politicians. 57 states anyone? Hence the OP. Very few the left spend much time arguing against his immigration policies other than playing the race card or saying that tariff threats will damage the economy, or that his foreign policies could lead to a power vacuum in sensitive regions. Instead it's all personal to most liberals: he's a buffoon or a blowhard or he doesn't have the temperament, etc., etc. Look, Bill Clinton chased a lot of skirts, but he was a good president. Newt was a callous cad, but he was effective. So I'm not all that interested in subjective evaluations of character. I'm more concerned about them doing the job they promised to do - which none of the sell-out career Republicans could ever do because they have their cronies too.

In some ways I see Trump's candidacy (and Bernie's noble but ultimately unsuccessful one for that matter) as a national referendum on a political system built around cronies, insiders, elites, and unaccountable bureaucracies. Maybe Trump would, as many on both sides say, prove to be a con man or the fox in the hen house. It's possible. But that's what we have now. At least with him I can have some slim hope that he would start the process of winnowing and purging the system. Hillary is the sure bet to preserve the status quo, the pinnacle of a corrupt establishment. I willing to take the chance buying the independent label rather than failure's greatest hits.
