Nobody thought that the Trump campaign wood take off, so they let him spout....HOWEVER, he tapped into the anger of the American electorate, and quite to everyone's surprise he took off. Then people wonder 'Why?'
Trump's success, so far, can be DIRECTLY attributed to people's frustration with Washington, and DIRECTLY attributed to the perceived FAILURE of the Obama regime, to deal with ISIS, immigration, Obamacare, the economy, and cronyism, among other things, AND the FAILURE of the GOP to seemingly NOT being able to do anything about it, despite the last midterm elections to reverse, or de-fund some of his programs.
If Obama and his programs were really that good, we would have NEVER even heard of Trump's rise in popularity....which is only due to a backlash to the crap we have in Washington, pretending to be a government.
That being said, I'm not particularly a Trump supporter, and frankly, he's getting to be a worn out record...but ya' never know, he keeps surprising some people with his antics.
In other words, Thank Obama for Trump!!
