At least in my opinion.
Ever since Reagan was elected damn near every Republican claims to be a conservative. As if making the proclamation makes it so. If you were to assemble every Republican lawmaker in an auditorium and ask, "Who's a conservative?", every one of those son of a bitches would raise their hand.
The Democrats have veered so far to the left it's laughable. They are the party of the 'fringe.' A coalition of minority whack jobs. They've managed to manipulate the budget to pay for every one of those votes, and convinced the 'conservatives' that they'll lose their ass if they don't go along.
In 2010 the republicans said, "Give us the majority in the House and we'll stop this shit." We did, they didn't.
In 2014 they said, "Give us the majority in the Senate and we'll stop this shit." We did, they didn't.
As I stated years ago, there's no difference between them. They're both frog marching us off a cliff, the only difference is the rate of advance.
Now comes Trump. Calling them both full of shit. He fights back and he fights back hard. The political counter-punching equivalent of Joe Frasier. He's not a conservative, and has never claimed to be so, but he's attracting conservatives. He's not an evangelical, but he's attracting them as well. Same with women and blacks.
For better or worse he's a refreshing breeze on the political landscape. Although he's running as a republican he's more of a third way. The Ross Perot of our time. And considering that BOTH of the major parties have been lying through their teeth to the public for nothing more than their own self-aggrandizement, is it any wonder that he's kicking ass?
He is transformative in a manner that Obama proclaimed himself to be. Obama is a poser, Trump is the real thing.
The problem with Trump is he's much like Julius Caesar. His true agenda is unknown and he's hated by the entrenched politicians of both sides. Which begs the question, "Can he advance his agenda, whatever that is, given the almost universal opposition?" I don't think he'd be assassinated in the forum, but he most likely be subjected to the political equivalent. Will he resort to the same tactic as the same current asshole and issue even more 'executive orders' to further his agenda?
Trump has tapped into a huge reservoir of anger and frustration. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess.
