Awesome movie but without cheating I can't think of it other then Val Kilmer.
He's, at the least, a closet bigot

In other words, you believe anything that a politician you like tells you? Trump's donated to different politicians from different political parties for decades. How does that make him an outsider?

I am not sure that you can compare the two. I don't think $20 from grandma holds as much weight as a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars from a billionaire that can afford to donate even more. Usually those types of large donations also come with special dinners or parties and who knows what happens there.

Grandma was invited to the white house with Bill because of her donations.
I think it was alot more than 20$
I have a love/hate relationship with Trump and after this quote I love him again.
How can you not?

The real question is.
Why do you believe him?

Well it was Bill. Maybe she had nice legs.
No disrespect to your GM. It's just so easy dinging Bill. Hillary wins and that humor will be back on late night. It's a banquet.

What? My mom, my dad, my grandma, my grandpa, my wifes mom, my wifes dad, and just about every political baby boomer I know has donated money to politicians and campaigns.
We still get a letter for my dead grandma from the DNC every year asking for money.
So are they all insiders?
“As a businessman and a very substantial donor to very important people, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do,” Mr. Trump said. “As a businessman, I need that.”
TRUMP: Sounds good. Sounds good to me, Governor. I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people, before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So what did you get?
TRUMP: And that's a broken system.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What did you get from Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?
TRUMP: Well, I'll tell you what, with Hillary Clinton, I said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why? She didn't have a choice because I gave.

That depends. Are their situations similar to what Trump described (HERE), in a Wall Street Journal interview?:
“As a businessman and a very substantial donor to very important people, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do,” Mr. Trump said. “As a businessman, I need that.”
Or here, at the Aug 6th Republican Debate?
TRUMP: Sounds good. Sounds good to me, Governor. I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people, before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And do you know what? When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me.

This quote starts at the 50min mark in this debate:

Of course she can. You've seen the shady business about the Clinton Foundation, right? Or what, did you assume I was a Hillary fan?
