The Donald

I think that The Donald, as in Trump, has outfoxed Fox News when it comes to right wing opinions.  The Donald sells.  People listen or want to watch.  It seems that he has captured some smoldering rage, anger, and opinions.  With The Donald, lots of people have been relieved from embarrassment at holding such views as he proposes.  The government, Wall Street, and other speakers of things USA, try to say things are going well.  Why not, they are the ones in power.  But it seems that things are not going so well for lots of people but they did not feel it was "proper" to say some things.  Not The Donald.  He seems to speaks for them.  I thought that he would be written off as a crazy, and ignored by media and voters.  Wrong!  When Hitler first came along, he said what seemed to be outrageous things.  Apparently, many people were already outraged or angry about stuff and Hitler might have tapped into it.  I would not compare Trump to Hitler.  Big difference.  But the dynamic of hidden rage, is not so different.
