Democratic leaders lack authenticity and are too afraid to break from party tradition and leadership, unlike Trump, who is perceived as authentic for attacking his own party.
-
"here's why they respect Trump because he was willing to talk against his party he was willing to talk against his own vice president he was willing in an interview to say Mike Pence is wrong and he's right an orthodox but seemingly authentic even if he's authentically dumb but at least he's able to break away from the crowd according to his supporters"

"if we have leaders in America who are so affixed to tradition and institutionalism that they would weigh the opinion or the disgruntle remark of one man regardless of how powerful the man may be if they would hold that in such high esteem uh they have now equated one person to be equivalent or perhaps even way heavier than everyone else in this nation and it's just time to break away from the tradition"

The Democratic party's rhetoric was condescending, telling voters what they 'must do' instead of explaining how Democratic policies would benefit them.
-
"the rhetoric that came from the Democratic party the rhetoric that came from well-respected Democratic Gatekeepers that positioned a message antithetical to Loyal Democratic voters was a missed opportunity as I said when it happened instead of telling people folk voters citizens what they must do how about you remind them of the policy that they will benefit from how about you give them policies that they will benefit from"
