The issue being this: which of the other candidates is working for the average Joe lunch pail? Honestly?

Trump has absolutely no actual policy ideas outside of rambling about the Mexicans and Muslims and building a wall. Also he's a millionaire, born and raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, he has absolutely no idea what middle class life is like.

Cruz is a theological nutjob, he's gotten some nice campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs, and he's also got the Oil/Gas industry in his back pocket.

Rubio isn't nearly experienced enough, and he's also taken campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs.

Hillary definitely has Wall Street in her back pocket, no question about that--but outside of Sanders, there isn't anyone who doesn't have big money in their back pocket. Trump isn't taking money from millionaires because he already is one, but his interests aren't going to be about taking care of the middle/lower classes, his interests are going to be about keeping himself and his buddies living comfortably and paying fewer taxes.

We could avoid a lot of this without the Citizens United ruling. Thanks, Scalia!
