his appeal is in his directness....and in the fact he brooks no political insincerity...it doesn't matter if he overstates some case he may be making or misuses a word in stating some claim, such as he did when he said our leaders are "stupid", when in fact our "leaders" are nefariously cunning and it is they who are the real liars not trump but they have been found out
the rhino republicans and retrogressives (progressives use the wrong word in describing themselves), the political class, the Washington elite and those in the upper west side of manhattan, all these people have something other than America to fall back on
they have their wealth and superior feelings and insulation from the basics of life, they have financial freedom and a worldliness has come over them and their children, they don't really need America, not the America that used to be taught in a civics class, or seen in a Norman Rockwell painting. they like their doorman and buy him a Christmas present (but just don't not tell me about your grandkids) and they like the special key to the elevator. their only fear is in their own death
Obama has his adulation and seeks praise from the world, not from americans, he has his money and his Hawaiian estate
but the guy in Kentucky or a West Virginia miner or someone living in rural Idaho or a west texas oil hand or some small town mayor or someone who grew up in middle america going to some small church and pledging allegiance in elementary school and holding high the flag at 4th of july parades, to these people, the America they dreamed about and loved and were taught was special, their America is important to them. that's what they have or had that held them together as one but their country is going, its being destroyed. so some gaff or crudeness of trump's, that doesn't matter one bit.
they don't care he gave money to the Clinton's or has changed some past view, they see his lack of political correctness and that he tells it like he feels
whether trump can ultimately accomplish anything doesn't matter right now either, for he's the one shot they see out there
