I want to agree with you on most of this Out.   I am also tired of the media simply passing on unexamined campaign rhetoric far too often.  I don't doubt that investigative journalism lives in the hearts of some, but corporate media, which has always been present, is far more an ally of the major parties, than a noble opposition.

But I can't find any redeeming quality in Trump that would make him an effective President.    He is certainly familiar with the reigns of power (elite wealth), the question is how he might use that knowledge to help the public, not just Donald Trump?   We know he has been very good at acting for his own self interest, but can he act in the interest of the larger public on at least some things?   

I can't imagine a more shallow, non -specific attack based on populist anger than Trump has harnessed.   Simply being 'not mainstream' is not good enough for me.    Is there a specific policy that you like that Trump has proposed?
