Trump was a business man. He bribed both Dems and GOPe. He won’t debase himself by accepting bribes from his fellow Billionaires and peers. Trump won’t lower himself to the level of those he despises; grafting Politicians.

Liberalism isn’t about “the little guy”, it’s about control. If you’ve got (or people expect you to have) control, you can trade it for favors (see also: Hillary). Graft and kickbacks have traditionally made for a very lucrative arrangement for politicians (see also: Tammany Hall). It also makes for extremely profitable and stable arrangements for businessmen backing the political machine (see also: Krupp, DWG, and the other German backers of the National Socialists; Obama’s “green” energy boondoggles; General Electric; et cetera).
In addition, if a senior businessman has used underhanded methods to make his company succeed, or has triumphed through chance rather than personal acumen and hard work, it tends to create an inferiority/guilt complex in them. They feel insecure with their wealth and inadequate to it. These people tend to displace this insecurity on others by saying that luck rather than hard work is what makes all successful businesses. They also are prone to being lured in by neo-Liberal/Socialist ideologies because those ideologies offer emotional palliatives for them. They can “excuse” the wealth they own but feel uncomfortable possessing by making public contritions about “caring for the ‘little guy'” – plenary indulgence style. (see also: Bloomberg’s nearly-single-handed backing of anti-gun activist groups.) If those promoted policies are adopted, then they tend to add more control to them and thus more tools for dishonest wealth creation – in a downward spiral (see also: major US cities). It’s a cherry on top that the guilt-laden wealth that drove them to it in the first place also insulates them from any of the negative effects from those policies experienced by the “riff-raff” (whom they coo about, but would never, ever want to be thrust down with).
That, in a nutshell, is how you get so many “limousine liberals” of the Bloomberg, Clinton, Soros stripe. I do not trust a millionaire, let alone a billionaire, that supports Liberals – it’s as much as a public confession they’ve cheated to get their wealth or have no idea how to really run their company. Real successful businessmen are proud of what they’ve produced and accomplished.
I admit I got me some “white privilege”. But I got mine the old fashioned way — I earned it.

Trump is the first candidate to endorse the good beliefs of the American people and not be tied to a slavish demanding agenda to destroy the people.
He has some expansion of the enabling of the American people to define yet, but he is pointing to it.
All politics of late has been Machiavellian, or tied to a resistance against the Establishment rock that is a defensive base they are growing. Ron Paul is an excellent example of a good person who stuck to a Libertarian philosophy that does nt quite fit with all people. It is a great philosophy, but, like Goldwater’s conservative philosophy, it was not translated into thoughts that the majority of Americans could understand, and even more important to so many voters that are required, that the American voter could feel good about his vote and about himself that he was doing something good with his vote.
trump is off all reservations, yet, maintaining a large part of what America and American Law, and American feelings are about.
Bernie is doing that within the context of a good socialist dictator who will help everyone, as opposed to the Democrats who say that, yet never deliver. Of course, Bernie’s socialism will never be able to deliver. That he is doing so well shows that, in spite of Obama destroying that type of narrative, so many progressively educated (sic) products of our schools want to feel good thinking that this time it will work. they feel good believing that what Bernie says is what should be. they still want that hoe and Change, though it is a Hope and Change after the Hope and Change guy has screwed it up badly. But many I speak with do not see that about Obama. they think and say that Obama has done a wonderful job. They are tied into much different information streams that I and i would say about all who peruse this endeavor. Boy, did I get an emphatic “Obama has done a wonderful job!” from a member of the Screen Actors guild the other day after a few pokes at her inner core beliefs about the US and the world. It’s so easy. They cannot tolerate anything that disrupts their view of the world.
From what Trump has been saying, I trust him and his advisers more than any other candidate that I have looked at. He is not perfect, but, he can lead the charge in the right direction, and, I pray to God, get good results for the most part.

Incidentally, if Clinton founders, you’re going to hear a lot more of those comparisons. The foundation of Sanders campaign is his fight against the “moneyed powers of the status quo” – which Trump will have to stand in for if Clinton is gone. Ironically, Trump’s brash loud-mouth-ism will partially insulate him from that, as he sounds like the unfiltered voice in the back of many people’s heads rather than the stiff and pompous Powers That Be.
