Teddy Roosevelt as an Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Governor of NY and and VP really does not qualify as an “outsider”.
He ran as one....people believed it...
He was a lot like trump in that respect. He was a New Yorker, Hoover considered himself a New Yorker as well. You see the commonality.
You must also see that politics is not the problem in the US. The wrong politics is.
Electing someone devoid of politics is not a fix, it’s a huge risk when the idea is to go the opposite direction that Obama has pointed us.
IMO, Trump is just another NYC democrat. it matters not what party label he is wearing at the time as it is just a emblem of political necessity to them.
It’s not that way with Cruz.. he is a Conservative. of that there can be no doubt.
