The 5th reason is also why Trump won't get a boost
Post# of 65628
Trump has already wrapped up the voters who 'love simplicity' and 'simple solutions to complex problems'.
That cries out for sarcasm, but I'll pass. LOL!
Oh the hell with it. The GOP has owned those voters since Goldwater, at least.
A reason this analysis, by the otherwise level headed Katy Kay, is 'off'' is because the U.S. is simply not that much like the U.K.

And, finally, populism loves simplicity, especially, it seems, when it's dressed up with an impressively wacky hair do. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump appeal to the heart not the head, they offer simple solutions in a time of complex problems. It's an appealing message. Think about the complicated consequences later, the thinking seems to go, for now protesting the status quo feels like a good start.
