re: #80 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

He ran as the anti-politician at a time when people were particularly fed up with politicians and politics as usual

He had no record of public service at a time when any sort of record was a liability

He could and did promise whatever he thought his target audience wanted to hear, in the most vague and hyperbolic terms

and they bought every one of the lies (still do)
and didn’t hold him accountable for even one of them (and still don’t)
