I hear what you are saying Robbie, but lets clarify something. I wouldn't say the government is under control by certain people. It's influenced for sure. For example, Koch is dumping millions into Jeb, but its not working. Big oil is lobbying too, but even they are losing ground to "green" thinking.
I want to say control, but its not absolute control. Call me hopeful.
Anyway, I get it. Taken at face value, Trump seems to be doing everything on his own. He is a stand-alone guy without any obvious ties to any special groups. That's good.
What's wrong with him though is that he is just such a baffoon. He has insulted lots of people including US allies. While he speaks for some people he clearly does not speak for all everyone, or even seem to want to try.
He's probably a great business deal maker - granted - but you have to admit that politics, especially being a President, needs a lot more finesse, and careful wording, and diplomacy.
If Trump actually wins the presidency, here is what I think will happen: Nothing. None of his wild ideas will ever come to light, and the US government will be run only by the senate and the house. Trump will be powerless. His VP will basically run the show, just like Chenney did for George W Bush, and just like Poppy Bush for Regan.
