I myself don't really like Trump and questioned quite a bit of his reasoning, but overall I found his stance refreshing from what seems to be the norm.

I can certainly sympathize with a desire to have something other than politics as usual, given the growing inability of politics as usual to actually accomplish anything in Congress. But Trump is an unacceptable alternative to me. "Literally anything but this" is a recipe for disaster.
I thought of an interesting anecdote while writing this. Do you remember the "Don't Tase me bro!" guy? he was at a town hall meeting or something of that sort for John Kerry campaigning in 2004. Anyway, if you watch the video for that it's almost comical how tolerant Kerry is of this guy's obnoxious grandstanding before he gets confronted by security. It's interesting to contrast that with Trump egging on the people booing and shoving protesters out of his rallies, and suggesting that they ought to be leaving on stretchers.

I wonder if Trump is trying to look "manly". Those Putin vs Obama comparisons were quite recent, after all.
