> buchanan etc. trump is the ross perot (1992) we never got. it was trump's own personal decision (after decades of being asked by others, and deliberating it himself) to run for u.s. president. candle was lit at the 2011 white house correspondents dinner, where he was publicly shamed by obama. in the 2015 republican primaries and debates, he systematically demolished a dozen challengers including swamp favorite jeb bush. trum has taken and adapted many different elements to craft his "platform" (which is not pre-fabricated by the gop or rnc, each of which spent tens of millions $$$$ teaned up with dnc in 2016 to prevent his nomination), including small dashes of reaganism, buchanan-esque 'small government'/accountability and others.
