(67,107 posts)Here's an interesting article I came across on this. I think he's hit on the nerve that for millions and millions of Americans the future looks pretty bleak given the present course. In his bombastic way, he's not afraid to speak on what millions of Americans are feeling, while other politicians seem only capable on talking about abortion, religion, gay marriage and all the rest of the crap they harp on to get the vote. Trump goes after what is really F'ed up in this country. Bernie IMO does similar.
I've worked for people like Trump and frankly they were great to work for/with them. You always knew where you stood, what to do and there was no bullshit from them. I had one CEO like him and he ran a great company. I can see why some people like him. That all said, my concern is he often sounds more like a dictator than a presidential candidate, and I don't care for the part of him that rips others apart IMO often unnecessarily. That's where I like Bernie better.
Anyway, this article was interesting if you've not read it. It really hits on why many people like him and I can see their point.
