Why do old, white guys vote for a man wearing more makeup than Hillary Clinton? Anyone?

9. Trump is the perfect storm

Since the 70s (I was born 64 so that is my marker), we've been fed a fairly constant stream of the CEO Superman.

Combine that with the divisive and caustic rhetoric (not early 1800s rhetoric)

The network news using 'Pre-internet Clickbait' as they headline and push "Be afraid. Your uncle could be a serial killer, child molestor, the Lindberg Kidnapper, etc and if not your uncle, neighbor, whatever then it's the black guy, the Mexican, etc

Toss in that every complex problem in the world has simple solutions - tax cuts, send in the marines, it's the fault of liberals, it's because of the poor, abortion

The traditional majority is being squeezed and our country is imperiled; see white Christian

Throw in the slavish devotion to being famous and being seen makes you special

Stir in flat wages for 3 decades and you get Il Douche

He's not new, he's better at it then rMoney or McCain and he's not the only one out there that is good at it.

In times of crisis (real or perceived) a sizeable number of people turn to strong individuals who are not swayed and offer answers

It was the perfect time for him to run because he learned how to play the game
Fortunately, there aren't enough suckers to buy into racism and xenophobia

Anyone who thinks this dies the Wednesday aftet Il Douche loses is fooling themselves
