+1. And if we were a rational electorate it would make sense to ask WHY so many people are buying? Unfortunately that gets back to the same old problem of having to actually fix things rather than simply treating the symptoms. I would tweak your statement to say that Trump is probably the world's best bandaid salesman. So good, in fact, that he can sell us bandaids when we really need a tourniquet and a couple of sessions of chemo.
