Trump has set the standard too high.

He has defined politicians as puppets of lobbyists. Additionally he has 11 billion votes that say he can get the job done. I owe no allegiance and I can get the job done. That is pretty much what appears to be the answer to a disillusioned electorate. If the sophisticated challenge Trump, what can they provide as an alternative. Who else can give kids a ride in a personalized helicopter. Trump has nothing to offer most of the country, but remember his follow up to not raising the minimum wage? He nuanced a response to more minimum wage jobs taking away the interst in raising the minimum wage. Said nobody will even be talking about it. Why, who knows why? He still hasn't played his trump card. He has mentioned the trillion dollar debt multiple times. I think he will appeal to the majority by placing the USA first in consideration for needing aid and not giving aid. He can claim to make America great again by attacking our debt instead of getting deeper in debt. That will resound protectionism and then nationalism. That will have a lot of appeal. He can say anything and people will believe him because his 11 billion says he can do it.
