Donald Trump a Reflection of the Electorate?

   He has built a powerful campaign on tearing people down. Just my opinion, but Donald Trump's popularity does not reflect well on the values we have. If we value ripping and finding fault, he's our man. I half wonder if we have developed a taste for being this kind of people through the eight years of hating Obama. And now, in timely fashion, along comes a hater candidate, and we are already conditioned to hate, and we listen to his siren. I guess it is more than just a hatred of Obama, though, that we have. We hate the other party. We hate Congress. We have developed a preoccupation for hating, so when along comes this hater candidate, we are conditioned to listen. We like what he says. He is, in a way, a reflection of the electorate, and perhaps that is one reason he is so popular.
