Trump Makes Me Miss George W. Bush

Because people are angry and frustrated and he's the one who's speaking to their frustrations. Even if they don't like or agree with a lot of what he's doing and saying, at least he's making noises about doing something to try and deal with their issues instead of doing nothing. Granted, Clinton was doing that as well and had detailed plans about how to implement these things, but that information got lost in the reporting about how she supported transgendered bathrooms and was about to be shot by a firing squad for treason because she sent classified emails to terrorists.

This. Trump won because he pushed the message "Make America Great Again". Hillary lost because she pushed the message "I'm with her", instead her being with us. Trump preached about what he, and only he, could do for the people. Hillary came off as what the people could do for her. This may turn out to be completely backwards from the truth of both candidates, but messaging matters, and Hillary's self-entitled and bought out (taking money from wall street) image killed her politically, probably for good.

And lets not forget the impact of the regressives on this, calling everybody racist, sexist, whatever all the time no matter what. A lot of people are sick of it, and that includes actual racists who were charged up and lashed out.

Yeah, but that's like added risk that doesn't necessarily materialize as a negative. Having gotten numerous traffic tickets justifies (they say) the raising of insurance rates because of the higher risk I pose, but in actuality, the added qualitative experience justifies me as your pick for being behind the wheel when the moments where having such experience matters.

You don't have to accept the added benefit based on the predjudes that come from how I've gained the ability to pull off what only luck could bring for the less qualitatively experienced, but at least he's not a psychopath which would pretty much guarentee a negative outcome--the same kind of negatively materializing harm that isn't risk based but fact based (as factual as a fatal accident involving the low risk drivers with little qualitative experience). Maybe it's why authoritarians are more apt to accept the "no harm no foul" mentality, since risk and the lack of harm that materializes afterwards has no additional pains.

So yes, him being a sociapath adds risk. Gonna talk about the reward side of the equation? When we look past all the negatives that could potentially be and weigh the impact as nill as harm of an auto accident that never happens, what do you see as the added benefit of having a sociopath in office? Not seeing it are you. It's probably the lack of alcohol.
