While many would believe that Donald Trump's statement concerning rapists immigrating from
Mexico to be a political mistake, I think it has already been shown to be a wise move. His
refusal to back down differentiated himself from all other candidates running; he was going to
stand by his convictions. From a standpoint of fulfilling a market demand, Trump produced
exactly the product the voters were clamoring for.
The next runner up for most appealing politician would be Bernie Sanders. A crazed socialist to
be sure, but at least a man who served the discontentedness of the voting public. Unfortunately
for him, he revealed the weakness of his mettle to the famous ceding of his podium to Black
Lives Matter protesters. Moreover, he has elected to forgo the opportunity to win altogether by
choosing to politely ignore Hillary Clinton's glaring ethics scandals. Politeness is a fine
attribute for a butler, not one of a president. To sell successfully takes courage and only one
candidate has monopolized that.
