The Donald Trump phenomenon: hidden meanings
Trump is unpredictable. He’s the only unpredictable presidential candidate in recent memory. That’s a major plus, because the press can’t do anything with him. They attack him on point A, and he responds with his own attack, or he replies with a non-sequitur, or he just changes the subject because he’s bored with the reporters.
He’s mentioning taboo subjects. Bring back tariffs on US imports. Get rid of inner city gangs.
He says something culturally and politically incorrect, and the press jackals go after him with flashing teeth and claws, fully expecting a take-down, demanding a grovel—and he shrugs—and his approval ratings go up.

The Obama Puppet The World's Least Powerful Man by Paul Craig Roberts
www.rense.com...
It didn't take the Israel Lobby very long to bring President Obama to heel regarding his prohibition against further illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Obama discovered that a mere American president is powerless when confronted by the Israel Lobby and that the United States simply is not allowed a Middle East policy separate from Israel's.
Obama also found out that he cannot change anything else either, if he ever intended to do so. The military/security lobby has war and a domestic police state on its agenda, and a mere American president can't do anything about it.
President Obama can order the Guantanamo torture chamber closed and kidnapping and rendition and torture to be halted, but no one carries out the order.
Essentially, Obama is irrelevant.
Trump is white. Advantage Trump.

Just.. Why?
Not trying to derail your thread but that comment is unnecessary.
Let's do the kind of superficial analysis that a typical voter might do:
Trump is not a career politician, Obama was. Advantage Trump.
Obama hadn't accomplished much in his life outside of politics, Trump is a hugely successful businessman. Advantage Trump.
Trump is white. Advantage Trump.
That's not me. I'm trying to present the 'thought process' (for lack of a better term) of a typical voter in the US. I think that's a significant point. I think that a large percentage of the US population would 'think' that way.
