While I can appreciate that he will not play by their rules and see value in that, claiming he is not corrupt is a bit far. Have you watched the Apprentice?
No never did. But isn't that a reality BS show?
So, why do you think that the establishment Republican party is so horrified that he is doing so well and will probably get the nomination? I'm interested seeing as it seems that a lot of you seem to have all the answers.
First and foremost, I believe most think he can't get elected, and he'd make a lousy president, whether addressing issues foreign or domestic. The POTUS is a statesman's position, not that of an oafish dictator.
His campaign has been long on bluster and pandering, and mostly void of any specifics.
His past, both those of political affiliations, and people/ groups he's supported will be found to be anything but conservative based. His business dealings, including bribe and corruption allegations will be coming out of the woodwork. Once nominating he will face will overwhelming wildfires to stomp out.
He, in all likelihood will get the party nomination because he's got an early start, and is pretty much unchallenged by his opponents' campaigns. That will cease when the democrat plumbers take him on.
Not playing by the rules can be an asset, when eschewing political correctness, and working outside the box. But one need not be a boor to accomplish that.
There is an element of his style that is much needed, but his ego-driven behavior is way over the top.
Lastly, I could go along with the tin-foil hat crowd who suspect his campaign is meant only to get hillary in the White House.
