- cubano 10y agoHe isn't? He wiped Bush, Cruz, and even the superstar politician Rubio off the map, spending a fraction of what they did in doing it as well. Say what you will about his views, many of which I personally find refreshing, but saying he isn't a good politician flies completely in the face of the facts of this election cycle.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoYes fine, but even a mediocre politician knows how to avoid being called racist, sexist, and especially fascist.
- krapp 10y agoWhen you want people who hate politics, politicians and political correctness in any form to vote for you, then getting called a racist and a sexist just separates you from the status-quo pack and makes you seem more appealing. That Trump could avoid the bad press if he wanted, but doesn't, suggests that he welcomes it. And, to his credit, it seems to be working for him. He's been able to harness a sense of mass disenfranchisement and anti-establishment rage that the Republican Party has been unable to tap into, despite their best efforts.
