Trump represents Hank Reardon (the industrialist hero of Atlas Shrugged) to anyone +with a brain and ambition to work and realize the American Dream for themselves and their family. Bernie Sanders represents Wesley Mouch, a hater of business who felt goverment held the answer to all the worlds problems.
We’ve never had a more stark choice. Everyone else is somewhere in between, but Ted Cruz is no Hank Reardon, he’s never even run a lemonade stand.
but he did defend his right to carry - give him credit for that
Actually Trump is more like Max Hershel from the movie “Just Tell Me What You Want”, Max was played by Alan King and if he were alive in his prime he could play Trump.

Very good analogy! I agree. Reardon was my hero, not Galt. Another clue to how I settled on Trump.
OMG. You’ve hit it exactly. We’re living out Atlas Shrugged!
