Yeah, as a die hard capitalist (free market variety) I issue a true heart felt appeal to the Bernie folk who might troll here. I know there may not be many of you, if any.
But Trump, like Bernie, is about as “outside” as one can get in this modern day election cycle.
Actually, if you want to know the truth, Reagan was also—even though he served two terms as a governor, history shows that the DC establishment despised him. They wanted a DC insider: a George HW Bush or a Howard Baker or a Bob Dole to be the nominee.
Jimmy Carter was despised by the DC establishment.
My point is, both political parties have had outsiders run. But the past thirty years we have seen the danger of “dynasty” politics—not unheard of throughout the Republic. But the size and scope of the federal government’s reach has also been unparalleled now.
Wouldn’t you all want to determine how to use your own talents, wealth, and blessings without government intrusion? I think Trump is going to do more of that—Hillary will crush hope.
Okay. I am done.
I have pointed out before that the left and the right SHOULD work together when it is in their common interest to do so. Any good American should be against corruption.
I honestly believe that Sanders, (misguided but basically honest) or his family were threatened and he was given exactly two choices.
Few Bernie people will ever view Trump as an “outsider” simply because he is a multi-billionaire.
