Some irony....the left is dying for a socialist strongman figure to go fight Trump.
Problem is the whole hate thing for old straight white males...and the rich...and the military. That's how you end up with that comically weak field, by disqualifying a majority of who actually has led or done something before. Imagine how stupid it would be to run Howard Schultz off for being too rich and then ending up with Biden. Amazing.
Aside from what the poles currently suggest (and we know how wrong the polls a can be), who do you see of this crop of Democratic Presidential candidates as a sure fire win or even a front runner? I liked Beto O'Rourke's seeming candor in his early rallies and the fact that he was someone relatively fresh...and young. Unfortunately, at this point he's a real long shot. The political game and it's election process is designed by seasoned, old guard politicians, which is why, IMO, we seem to keep going with more of the same for the most part.
People who voted Trump into office, likely believed they were going with something new, different and dynamic. Someone who'd "speak for the people", as it were. And to some degree they've gotten what they hoped for. Immigration control, a decent economy, much more conservative supreme court justices and a man who speaks his mind regardless of how foolish and wrongheaded he sounds....unfortunately.
..oh, and let's not forget couched racism. We also got just another old, white, possibly rich male whose primary focus is not about what he can do for the country, but what he can do for himself....to get reelected and to better line his pockets. He's never taken one tiny breather from campaigning for his next 2020 shot since he started the first one.
I think we get what we deserve, much as some would like to say differently. The American public has a very hard time thinking outside the box most of the time. As long as this goes on, politicians will always be an elite group whose main concern is to continue their status as being above the fray instead of one of the people. BTW, I don't think HRC was any more outside-the-box or fresh. Just being a female isn't enough.
Ask yourself this; When has Trump ever lived the life you do...with the all the mundane problems you face everyday? He is not a common man, by any means. Despite his claims, he does not really know what life is really like 'in the trenches'. He's just another egotistical, elitist who craves have power over others. -Nothing new here, humankind's history is riddled with Trumps since the dawn of time.
For many, maybe even most Getbigger's Trump represents everything you desire to be. He's rich. He's powerful. He is famous. He has a string of sexy wife's and lovers. And for all appearances, he is an alpha male (except for the possibility that he has of a fetish for 'golden showers'). The only thing he is missing is a good physique. Come on Coach, position yourself to be his trainer and get him into decent physical shape.
