Trump is the same as Rob Ford up here in some ways. We all rolled our eyes at Ford's popularity in Toronto but he had a lot of supporters. He was a buffoon but people kept saying that he was the only "real" talker and he didn't fit the mold of all the other politicians. This is attractive to many voters up here and even more so in the U.S.
It illustrates how broken government is in the U.S. when a scary dude like Trump is seen as a real option. The high level of distrust with government allows clowns like Trump to capture hearts and minds. Sad.
