Exactly. Though a lifelong liberal* I am really enjoying the Trump show and the conniptions he is causing both parties. And provided he doesn't do his mass-deportation (which I think is an empty threat), there is nothing about him that is so extreme, except for his delivery. "repeal and replace X" - he will replace X with almost the same exact thing "build a wall" - there is nothing so crazy about a sovereign nation having a border "not letting in refugees until we figure out what the hell is going on" - both sides have reasonable opinions in this one, but I guarantee plenty of those under the Merkelreich wish she had been closer to Trump here. "blow the * out of ISIS" - we completely sat on our hands as children were crucified and buried alive. Our half-assed support for the ballsy Kurds was disgusting as they fought bunker-hill style. I understand we don't want to spend more time in the middle-east, but this definitely falls under you-break-it-you-bought-it. "the Iran deal is the worst yada yada" - well any deal that doesn't get back hostages and lets them fire test rockets with "death to israel" written on them isn't the best deal out there. So it's been fun, and I had no idea he was this skilled at political theater. * liberal in terms of pro-choice, legalization, marriage-equality etc., but not a fan of the far-left direction things are moving in a la diblasio & co.
