Trump’s rise really has little to do with Trump the man, it is about the mood in this country that is just so disgusted with “Business as Usual.”
I think you are correct. All of the candidates with the exception of Trump, Fiorina and Carson are of, by and for the almighty government. Hell, most of them currently hold elective office and the others are just in between offices. I wonder how the voters feel about not having a Governor or a Senator or Congressional Representative even though they elected one and he is drawing the paycheck.
