The problem is the propaganda machine running in this country. It is not the candidates, it's the fact that the propaganda machine can spread lies faster and more effectively than a candidate can combat it with the truth.
Look up "Macaca."
The propaganda machine is, and has been for a long time, the problem. If we don't take it over, we should be working on destroying it.
I’m just a realist. The propaganda machine can be defeated, but Trump is the only person I’ve ever seen do it.
He is successful because he doesn’t care what the media says and is constantly on the attack, but he also has his finger on the pulse of what is a real outrage and a media-manufactured outrage. He picks up an issue that people agree with but sends the media into a meltdown and sits back and watches the show. He is also aided by the fact that the media has spread so many debunked lies about him that even significant charges are dismissed as somewhat or totally untrue.
Roy Moore didn’t have any of those attributes. He’s also a terrible retail politician. GOP politicians can still be successful within the propaganda machine paradigm if they don’t do or say anything that the media can frag you for, and if you do get tripped up on one, you can give an acceptable explanation to get yourself off the hook. Roy Moore certainly couldn’t do either of those things either.
