Trump's appeal shouldn't be mystery

I don't understand why so many people are confused by Donald Trump's popularity. Pretty simple really.

People are tired of politicians out right lies to get elected then watch them line their own pockets at the expense of American citizens.

The last midterm elections illustrated what is really going on with our politicians.

Control of Congress and the Senate was voted over to Republicans that promised all sorts of things. Once in they did absolutely nothing. John Boehner left as speaker. Paul Ryan took over and is pushing Obama's budget. It doesn't matter to these people as they continue to be paid even if they are run out of office. Boehner will become a lobbyist and make millions a year as payback for screwing the American public.

Those concerned that Trump can't get along with anyone should ask this. When was the last time the left gave an inch? Just look at the situation in Illinois. Blame Rauner all you want, but what has the left offered to help fix the state? Nothing. Same is true on the national level.

We are tired of the bullying and corruption that controls our lives. We hear a lot about the violence Trump is causing. Again ask yourself this question. When have you ever heard in the news about conservatives causing trouble at liberal events? The left has made it an art form.

Now as Trump is getting close, they all want to change the system. No concern with what the people want, as usual. They are desperate to save the good old boys club.

There is no way of knowing if Trump will flip once in but I guess we will have to use Nancy Pelosi's mindset. I guess we'll just have to vote him in to see what is really in him.
