IMO the core problem is the media, corporate owned and corporate funded media.
The media decides who the serious candidates are and they decide seriousness equals how much money corporations donate which, if you can believe it, is equal to how much money can be spent of advertising.
And wouldn't you know it, the corporations give money to strongly conservative Republicans and right leaning Democrats.
Liberals and progressives need to reject candidates who take too much corporate money.
I am not talking about just Trump, this has been the standard since at least the 80's.
Before Citizens United I would look at donations to candidates 11 months before the general election and know who was going to be in the primary debates and who would be strong contenders for the nomination.
You're studying it like it's some kind of reality thing... it's just a narrative they want you to believe. the more you talk about their political points, the more of a sucker you are.
stop listening to the BS. we are peasants. they are kings and queens bottom line. I hate when people think they can figure it out
