That's why it's a shame that it's this moron that was the first one to really tap into that discontent and roll it into all his other garbage.
Yeah, this is what is disappointing.

The IDEA of someone like Trump coming in as an outsider with no real concrete political affiliations to at least shake out some of the apathy is a good thing, and something the US sorely sorely needs.

If it was Bill Gates, it would be hugely beneficial for the US and likely the world. But it's not. Its Donald Trump. And the idea behind him being good does not make him a good choice by default, and does not make Hillary (despite her cronyism or whatever) a bad choice by default.

Some people seem to think that simply because he upsets the establishment, it's a good thing. He could upset it in the very opposite way needed, which looks to really be quite obviously the case.
