re: #52 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
I will at most simply point out that DT had no record of public service before being elected. But that is seen as a plus by most of his supporters.
That has been seen as a plus by conservative voters for a very long time. The whole attack on civil service and career politicians launched by Ronald Reagan contributed to that. Itβs why people like Dave Brat got elected.
