That was a really good blog/article. I think understand what he's trying to convey.
But, I do have one reservation. When he says "If you want CHANGE, you'll go with Trump." (paraphrased). Okay... yeah, you're likely to get CHANGE. But, I before I just open the "Change Door", I want to have some idea what's behind it, in the context of government and social policies.
And, to the blog in the OP: I haven't been listening to Hillary Clinton. I've been listening to Donald Trump! The bias and barrage of criticism he gets from media sources is not because they (the media) don't want to focus on issues. It's because Donald Trump never seems to realize that his "tell it like it is" approach is actually telling it like HE THINKS it is, and he does it in such an inflammatory, self-aggrandizing way, that it screams to be criticized.
The media makes a profit by amplifying what's getting attention! Trump gets attention, but he doesn't do it in a manner that will benefit his campaign. I don't hear any policy details. I never hear how he's going to implement any of these things (some of which I'd like to see happen- Marijuana legalization, for one). I liked Obama's promise to close Guantanamo... never happened. But, back to trump; From a political perspective, all I really hear is building a wall/keep illegals out, vetting Muslims, the election is rigged, and Hillary is crooked. All of this is just talk, too. And, it's talk from a guy that has alienated himself from people he'll need to get any of it done. He claims to oppose the TPP. That's great! But, it takes more than his opposition to it to keep it from being implemented. He's basically detached himself from the government structure we have in place. He's now neither party... awesome. He revels in that. I respect being neither party. But, unless he's planning to stage a coup, it's not going to go well for him or anyone who is supporting him. Presently, we still have 3 branches of government. The legislative branch basically has no interest in him, and he has none for them. That's not going to work! When he exhibits that he lacks basic understanding of how our government works, he's going to be criticized and rightfully so.
