I am a centrist, so I am interested in hearing both sides. Unfortunately, your points were more about emotion than reason. You don't like the other side, and your are cheering on Donald because he sticks it to them.
I actually think this is where U.S. debate is right now, for both sides.
Just keep on thing in mind -- the job of a each political party is to split people from the other group. Parties do not have fixed ideologies -- they only have a majority of supporters, or they don't. They will do anything and say anything to find a sub-group that it can woo away from the other party. This makes their views shift with each election cycle.
It is very unlikely that a rational person will support that majority of a party platform, unless they have been drinking the propaganda cool-aid. I support no leader unconditionally, and I support no party enough that I won't vote them out next election if they disappoint.
