If economic inequality is a problem, erosion of traditional values is a fear, and the Hispanic vote is pivotal, what explains the political rise of a twice- divorced, thrice-married, gold-plated New York real estate buccaneer whose previous best-known utterance — "You're fired!" — is rivaled now by inflammatory comments about Mexicans and immigrants?

What explains Donald Trump's appeal?

It's very simple.

There are a bunch of angry, bitter people who can't cope with a changing world and feel they've been screwed by the politicians. They want someone who will stick his middle finger in the politicians' faces and yell "up yours".

No different than the appeal of Bernie Sanders, Ross Perot, Jesse Ventura, John Connolly, George Wallace, Huey Long, and other populist buffoons.

I could go for universal health care, IF all people were covered by the same plan. It goes against my grain, but fighting this tide is a losing battle. Either we cut out all subsidies and free medical and let the market rule, or we have a completely even playing field. Of course the rich will have the best care, as they pay cash. No matter how well covered the masses are, the elite will be covered better while the politicians cut payments to the doctor/slaves leading to the same situation we find ourselves in.

Now I am disagreeing with myself. Why can't we just let the market decide and require hospitals to cover emergency situations? Allow pharmacies to dispense antibiotics without a script and everything else is dependent on your good credit, relationships with doctors, or money. So much money is spent on visits for colds, flu etc. People need to be allowed the dignity of dying if they won't save or spend to help themselves, screw them....

Until then, we muddy ourselves in a mix of socialism....
