I'm still dumbfounded by how delusional the DNC has become. I'm glad I jumped ship after they rigged the primary against Bernie. That was the last straw for me. The Republicans may be evil but unlike the Dems they at least have one foot in reality.

trump is not a republican. He is a liberal, a classic liberal.

He was for gay marriage before it was cool (I have seen him in an interview say this as early as 2000 whereas Obama evolved to the position circa 2011)

He is not for small government.

 

He is for efficient government (which we are not). 

 

The reason he has no establishment support is because he is not one of them. The media ignored minor to major Obama scandals from 2008 to 2016. Now with trump they are literally creating scandals. 

 

Nothing Trump has done has lead me to believe he not doing what he thinks is in the countries best interest. You may disagree with his method, but his intention seems clear. 

He has lost a ton of personal wealth since coming into office. Which is the exact opposite of just about any other politician. He is making decisions that hurt him personally at this point. I have no choice but to believe he really is trying to best by the USA. 

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm referring more to establishment republicans/neocons when I say "repubs are evil." I definitely have some overlap with Trump in that like him, I hate the political establishment, hate the mainstream media, political correctness, also opposed to NAFTA and TPP, pro American manufacturing, etc. But that's basically where the similarities end. Tough for me to get past his buffoonery and semi-authoritarian practices and ideals as someone who would considers myself libertarian liberal (see Noam Chomsky). But if it's between Trump and Hillary, I'd take Trump in a heartbeat, which is unfortunately what the DNC forced me to do by shutting out Bernie. While I don't 100% agree with Bernie's policies and ideals he was the closest candidate I supported who had a realistic chance of winning before being colluded against.

I don't know how much what Trump's doing is for the betterment of the US rather than his own ego and brand, though you can't argue with the results with some of the stuff I'm hearing regarding unemployment, GDP, etc..

That's the funny irony of this whole thing too - the DNC whining about "collusion" when if anything, THEY were the ones colluding in the 2016 election; against Bernie..
