It’s political without a doubt, but it doesn’t make the person a politician in the true sense of the word. At best it makes them a political figure. Big distinction a political figure & a politician. If you can’t see that distinction, then I guess we are both just wasting each others time.
Being a politician is not a kiss of death, not doing what you promise should be a kiss of death.
Trump is a politician, who does most of what he pledges, his personnel decisions are 50/50 at best, that’s what we should be critical of.
If he picks another Mike Pence as VP, that would be a red flag for me that he’s no learned anything about his personnel choices, which we should hold him accountable for
