When it comes to being angry, there's Smart Angry and Stupid Angry. Trump and Bernie capture the Stupid Angry. And I'm very uncomfortable just how much Stupid Angry there is in this country. There is a LOT.
Trump and Bernie correctly diagnose the problem and give voice to the anger people feel, but they either have the wrong solutions (mostly Bernie) or it's not at all clear that they have a solution (mostly Trump). Stupid Angry Don't Care.
Trump is not a conservative. Stupid Angry Don't Care. Trump has no problem with crony capitalism - he just thinks he can make better deals and pick winners and losers better than Obama. SADC. Trump has no plan for replacing Obamacare. SADC. Trump has no real foreign policy
solutions - only the correct diagnosis that we're retreating 'round the world. SADC. Trump has no actual plan to stop digging deeper into debt. SADC. Trump says he'll be tough on immigration, but his plan mostly consists of pissing way billions on a physical wall through the desert. SADC.
But at the end of the day, if the Stupid Angrys get their way and Trump is the nominee, I'll vote for him. Because even as terrible as he is, he's preferable in my opinion to The Liar. And that's saying something.
But can you even imagine that GOP convention? Who are the keynote speakers for Trump?
