Clinton has spent her whole life perfecting the art of being a slippery politician. Whereas Trump is a businessman with some excellent business advisors. America is in a mess in many ways, and it needs a good shakeup, so a slippery politician who only protects here own interests probably isn't as good a choice as a businessman with radical ideas to actual make some difference... The last 20 or so years have seen career politicians come and go, and nothing radical has changed. The people are sick of how career politicians run the place. They want change. Trump, as much as we all dislike him, may actually be the out of the box, fresh thinking, lunatic with nothing really to lose that America needs to shake it up. I believe that's what the public think too and that's why he was voted in. No doubt trump will do some crazy stuff, but crazy isn't bad. Here in the uk, we could benefit from a proper radical shakeup, but we are never going to get it whilst these career politicians who all come from the exact same background keep getting elected into power.
