In Democracy There's No "Right and Wrong"

I'm getting such a kick out of the media's reactions to the voice of what was once called the American "silent majority." The American media, like the Israeli one, is rather Left wing and not objective, Center or opinionless. They consider themselves experts on what's best for the USA and the world. For that reason, they just can't understand why or how so many Americans, especially registered Republicans adore Donald Trump.

Their unfettered support has fueled Trump's rise in Republican primary polls and kept him in the top spot for months. No controversy appears to faze them out of the many Trump has endured — from controversial comments over immigration, to the McCain comments, to a bitter, lingering feud with Fox News and host Megyn Kelly.The focus group should not be considered representative of the Republican Party as a whole, or of the electorate in early states like Iowa and New Hampshire. But their unwavering support indicates that there may be nothing that can take down Trump. (Yahoo)

He's the antithesis of the conventional Republican candidate. And that is the reason why those who consider themselves Republicans support him, and that's also why Republicans lost the past two Presidential elections. As Barack Hussein Obama proved, Americans want to dream and want a candidate who can tell them that things can get better. They want hope, and the Trump slogan and story gives them that hope:

"Make America Great Again"

Your ordinary American has been suffering. The financial situation is the pits. Outsourcing has taken away jobs from the low income sector and weakened the economy. They see the media and politicians as elitists who are totally removed from ordinary life. The almost epidemic of "random shootings" plus kidnappings and sexual predators etc have taken away the feeling of personal security that was once prevalent in American society.

Donald Trump is considered a success story which has been giving ordinary Americans a confidence that no other candidate can give. That is how many Americans feel. That observation when calculated into votes is or can be an electoral majority. There is no right or wrong in Democracy. Democracy is a numbers game. Condemning and/or criticizing the feelings of large numbers of people is anti-democratic. 

As an Israeli with American citizenship, of course I'm concerned about the winner's active policies towards Israel. But at this point there is still almost a year and a half until the next American President whoever he/she will be takes office. So, I'll just watch the show...
