The morally bankrupt status quo - elitist politicians, propaganda-house media, and corporate-run political parties got us Trump.  There really is no comparison.  Trump is a white knight in dented, rusty armor.  We could have had a Perot, or a Ron Paul, or even a Rand Paul, but Trump is the best our dumbed-down, media-addicted/addled population can afford, and currently also the best we deserve.  Deal with it.
