The Onion jokes: Donald Trump is “an eccentric, megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average Americans than anyone willing to dedicate life to politics.” Every other day, he says something outrageous or blatantly false, and yet he continues to grow in the polls.

He seems to be getting by on empty slogans with no well thought out policy ideas. When you see a politician saying something outrageous or blatantly false, you might be tempted to decry the quality of our politicians. If only someone better came along.
