Yeah that's pretty much the Susan Sarandon argument with Bernie, that if he doesn't win the nomination people should vote for Trump because it will "bring about the revolution faster". Except Trump is pretty clearly setting up to be another George W. Bush where everyone behind the scenes controls everything, and we all saw how that worked out.
