Trump is living up to his populist promise

"Left-wing populists such as Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have been campaigning on a “people vs. the powerful” theme all year. Trump’s alternative offers people real power without hobbling them with higher taxes. He should make measures such as these a more prominent feature of his reelection campaign and recapture the populist mantle from his Democratic competition."

Trum has always been open and shown who he is.
The people recognize this and appreciate and respect this (for the most part).
Ms Gabbard is a real Iraq war vet, as opposed to phony Mayor Pete (who I suspect is also out, due to his disastrous town hall). She served in a medical unit, trying to piece bodies back together, and still holds the rank of Major in the Hawaii National Guard. She stood out in the debates as the only candidate who expressed a passionate antiwar position. She's attractive, young (38), interviews well, and can hold her own in a debate. For Democrats always looking for "firsts," she would be the first Hindu to potentially reside in the White House.
Unfortunately, Rep. Gabbard signed up to most of the far left Democrat agenda. She did hedge her bets carefully, with caveats as to how to get to the wild goals pragmatically, which means a shift to the center in the general election would be easier for her than most of the others. She's the out of the blue candidate to watch, IMHO.
Hawaii is the most communist state of all, even exceeding KA. Hardly any wonder she endorsed Bernie and signed on for the complete socialist agenda.
She has NEVER held any productive job in her life (per wikipedia.) Being a politician and nurses aide in Iraq does not qualify her to lead anything.
However, she is a well qualified Democrat candidate for anything since she is a non-white female who has never produced anything and wants to tell every producer what to do.
The socialist "Power to the people" slogan of the Sixties isn't really about that either.
Trump offers "Earn Power" (jobs and low taxes) = your power.
The power of the Demos requires no responsibility...except a vote for them...and you'll be no better for it, but they will.
The power granted by our constitution and championed by Trump comes with Maximum responsibility and you Will be better for it.
