lol, I do find the painting of Trump as a "non-elite" as hilarious, dude was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and lives in a gold plated apartment with a trophy wife and a 10-year-old son that occupies an entire floor of a hotel. Trump is the same elite circle as Clinton, hell he invited the Clintons to his razzle dazzle wedding 10 years ago. I just prefer Hilary's politics to the Donald's and I trust her temperment and experience 10x more. Now if it comes down to who would make a more entertaining reality TV show, sure I'd pick Trump, but this is the presidency not a reality TV show. 

The Republican party doesn't have a future if their voting block is basically going to be this generation of old people was my point. They cannot sustain themselves forever with dog whistle diet racism and bible thumpers. 

If Trump can scare enough people, maybe he can win, but right now, it doesn't look good for him. He is losing with college educated whites. He is losing with Hispanics obviously. He is losing with African Americans. He is losing with Asians. He loses with women. He needs a major terrorist attack to occur, probably multiple ones ,to get enough people terrified enough to turn this tide. Which is kind of a sad indictment of him as a candidate. Ronald Reagan he ain't. 

When it comes to assets he's pretty elite but people see it as a positive aspect to be rich but the same can't be said in politics when he doesn't collude with governments to their favour when he fully backed the Brexit so he's pretty anti-elite as far as being a politican goes ... (he's appealing to he lowest common denominator possible)

He dislikes the interests of the world or foreign governments and he also disapproves with the current national government so what more could you ask for being as anti-political as you could get ? 

Some people prefer Trump to Clinton since they view him with a higher amount of transparency, extreme nationalism, and heck he's bullet proof as far as corruption goes since he doesn't even work for the government both figuratively and literally speaking compared to Wikileaks who just keeps hammering Clinton and the DNC every side for it ...

I would say Trump's chances mostly depend on how angry people get with the government and terrorist attacks do factor in like you said whether domestic or foreign and their only going to keep proving him right as they keep happening since he's drawing in that very same anger the Brexit campaign had ... 

US demographics are not the same as the UK demographics. Brexit doesn't really tell you anything about the US. 

Trump seems to be in the pocket of Russian handlers from what I can see, after his multiple bankruptcies in the early 90s, US banks would not lend to him, a good deal of his funding comes from Russian oligarchs and his current campaign manager was a higher up to Yanacovich, the Russian-installed leader of Ukraine who got ousted out of power there. 

Trump's dislikes/likes seem to change on a weekly basis anyway. One week he is saying Japan should get nukes, the next week he is saying he never said that, etc. etc. etc. 

A leader that needs anger, fear, hatred, and xenophobia to fuel his political ambitions says a lot. History says a lot about those types of people too.
