I Am Going to Say Something Controversial
From an American's perspective, here is why Donald Trump was chosen to lead the Republican Party, instead of some other contender? What some Americans see in DT that make him appear as the best option. [NOW with no censorship]
D. Trump offers those who feel they have been ignored and socially mistreated a way to strike back without risking anything. They hide behind a loudmouth who has given them the illusion he represents them. He offers simple solution-solution sounding easy-to-remember words and catch-phrases that (some) people find comforting (build a wall, wipe out ISIS, make things better, win, etc.). There's a reason why the polls suggest that those with less education seem obsessively drawn to him. Let's face it, all of the candidates left standing and the parties they represent have serious flaws (more so than candidates from prior election cycles). But, in addition to representing the (new) Republican party also represents the very worst in each of us.
