If he rolls through the primaries, don’t be surprised if some kind of “accident” presents itself.
A solid part of the rage is that Trump has smashed traditional politics.
Independents are 47% of the electorate, and the two parties are fringe parties. The media can’t grasp this. They are about 26-27% total each. 27% Dem, 27% GOP. And 47% Independent.
People think — or desperately want to think — this means they are profoundly moderate and somewhere in between left and right.
They aren’t. They reject the issues of left and right. Their issue is DRAIN THE SWAMP, and that is why the media desperately wants this not to be so, because they are part of the Swamp. So they will ask questions about abortion and guns and funding this or funding that and those are not the issues of this election.
The issue is smashing the elites of both parties. Time spent talking about abortion is time not spent talking about draining the swamp. So they will puff their chests up and demand that the candidates talk the issues, but they dare not talk about the only issue that matters — Drain the Swamp.
