No matter how you cut it, they are either looking for a "political outsider" who has zero political experience and is ironically calling upon the establishment to fill his cabinet positions or they are looking for the "average American" dressed up as a billionaire who plasters his name in gold plating on every building he owns. It makes no sense until you realize the majority demographic supporting Trump are white males without college degrees. Then, it makes perfect sense.

Completely agree. We can discuss here about Castro's legacy. In Cuba, they cannot discuss anything. The communist party determines what they should say, think and believe.
As a liberal, it disappoints me that the left in my country is praising him instead of looking at social democracies in Nordic countries for models.

What exactly do you mean by political experience? You keep saying this like experience in politics is a great thing. So what great experience do politicians have that business people dont. Im not talking about Trump or anyone in particular, I just dont get it.

You do realize you are saying that relevant experience is not important when applying for a job, right? If you don't understand this basic concept there's really no point in having this conversation.
Also, my comment regarding Trump's main support demographic is statistically accurate. Go ahead and check all the polls. As to why these people would support Trump, it's quite easy to deduce that when you think about it. These people hold jobs that do not require college degrees, therefore they do not really value education very much. Trump's number one tagline is his plan to somehow keep manufacturers in the United States. Most manufacturing jobs do not require college degrees, so this statement appeals to people who hold similar jobs. Additionally, Clinton has expressed a strong desire to continue making higher education more affordable. This statement does not relate to these people who do not value college degrees, so of course they won't vote for her.
Furthermore, I'm not saying people make stupid decisions because they don't have college degrees, although few would fault that statement. I'm saying people who aren't educated tend to make uneducated decisions.
