Sounds like the political elite talking point (read Rubio/Cruz)!
What they still don't recognize is that Trump and his messaging reflect the populist uprising against the political elites spewing their talking points tailored to whatever ideological horse they choose to ride.
We have been conned by THEM for fifty years. They (with a very few notable exceptions - Kennedy and Reagan IMO) work only to get elected and re-elected for reasons of personal gain. That's what the politicos do. They are the ultimate dependents on the gubment.
Trump is a product of a populist revolution and it is palpable. As Big Daddy said (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) "I smell mendacity here" and the mendacity has been and is being spewed by the ideologues. Whatever label you choose to put on Trump, ideologue is not one of them!
As Pete said, the folks with the pitch forks (no pajama boys in that crowd) are surrounding the castle.
What we are witnessing, IMO, is a populist revolution that may very well result in a landslide victory for the Donald come November. The Republican party and hopefully the Democrat Party will be transformed as a result.
Yeee Haaaw!
