Um. No.

Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt was a populist from New York whom was a progressive at heart, very similar to Donald Trump actually.

He could not stand the conservative stances of President Taft, so he ran against him in 1912, only as the candidate for a third party, the Progressive Party. The end result was that the Republican vote was split, and the Democratic candidate, Woodrow Wilson, won the election. In the end, Roosevelt was not too upset with that outcome, because he had a progressive in the White House in the end, and his conservative nemeses was no longer in power. (Taft)

Both Roosevelt were Progressive leftists and both led to disastrous results for this country.

TR led to Wilson.
FDR led to WWII and perpetuated the depression.

Populist candidates which manage to get elected almost always end in disaster.

Trump would be just as bad of a President, if not worse.

The key to survival of the Republic is to have the most incompetent but dangerous idiot and boob to be our leader.
I would rather have the most corrupt and dangerous leader possible, one that had ties to mafia! Trump is ultra successful as he sports between those and people with morals.

I see politics as a cage match. Our leader has to be able to kill any other countries leader in a ring. Trump could do it.
that’s why imam zero sucks moslem’s cock!NO LEADER.
