At least Trump is authentic and could play a "I was one of them so I know how to bust them" card.

But he doesn't actually play that card, does he?

At least Trump is authentic

As authentic as his faux gold leaf trim.

not everyone votes in strictly their best interest. otherwise, why would the rich be liberal?

They can afford to be.

Same reason they do in Victoria: low consciousness pops

Oh he does, 'I bought all these politicians I know how it works' blah blah

That's your idea of a strategic mistake, not false consciousness.

I was the puppet master of the puppet masters? Sounds like he would be even more to blame.

I actually kind of admire the way he responded to criticism that he invited Hillary to his wedding and had contributed to her past campaign(s).  Basically said she went to his wedding because he paid her, thus proving a point how politicians can be bought.  Haven't heard a peep from his opponents about the issue since then.

I can see why you would say that as a Hillary supporter.

Perhaps you mean as a person following a basic train of logic.

Not to his voters. It makes him more attractive than Bernie exactly for this reason. Trump is their Gracchus.
