Trying to understand Donald Trump's popularity

Rich Lowry wrote in National Review,
It is tempting to see Donald Trump as something wholly new, the reality star who represents the merger of entertainment and popular culture. He is also something centuries old, the populist railing against a corrupt and ineffectual elite that will, through his chastisement, get the comeuppance it deserves.

Chateau Heartiste commenter Sentient adds:
...THE main issue is vision. With vision you set strategy. and with strategy you put the worker bees in motion to “do their job”. Then as a leader you hold them accountable.

Leader says “I see a wall” and “make it happen” and the worker bees set to task.

TRUMP is the only candidate on either side who had a real vision for America AND the real world leadership experience to not second guess himself or get bogged down in the details and analysis paralysis and popular opinion and all the other reasons people who can’t lead don’t lead.
