Behind the Trump Phenomenon

If you have read this blog before, you know that I am not a Trump guy. I think I do understand, however, why he is so popular at the moment. The big "secret" - a broad cross section of people in this country have seriously had it with the political status quo and Trump is giving voice to their feelings in language that leaves no doubt. Basically, they're mad as hell and they're not going to take it any more. David Limbaugh puts it this way:

"Much of the establishment's criticism of Donald Trump comes from its failure to comprehend the reasons for his soaring popularity.

Establishment types seem untroubled by the problems facing America, so they can't understand the urgency that fathered Trump's rise. Minor adjustments to the Hindenburg's dining room menu just aren't going to get it."

I agree with Limbaugh's analysis and I agree with my fellow Americans that the ship is sinking and that we need to do things very differently ASAP. It is no coincidence that Trump, Carson and Fiorina are all outsiders and all are doing well. They all have not only sensed the angst of their fellow Americans - they share it and they want to act. Trump will wear out his welcome as time passes through his own character flaws, but whoever gives true voice to the American giant that is stirring will be the nominee and very possibly the next President of the United States.
