You are very astute, I only wish that my fellow countrymen would wake up to the truth.

I truly believe Trump is a populist reformer, trying to help the Everyman.

But keep in mind that even though the Populares were nominally "for the people", they only used them for their own ends. They were very much as political as the Optimates.

It's a sad state of affairs when a relative madman looks like a saner alternative to a truly sick and twisted authoritarian war-hawk.

But perhaps a madman is needed to tear down this malfunctioning and corrupt system where a few elites benefit at the expense of the common man.

It wouldn't surprise me if this election is the last one we'll ever have.
