The real reason Donald Trump is so popular: He's the surrogate mouthpiece for the things most Americans deeply believe (but are too afraid to say)

(NaturalNews) I've got something in common with Donald Trump. As the editor of Natural News, people tell me all the time, "Why don't you do a story about (fill in the blank) and expose it?"
My answer is usually, "Why don't you start your own website and write about it yourself, and we'll publicize your story?"
The answer is almost always the same. "Oh, I couldn't do that, I'd get fired from my job" (or audited by the IRS, or shut down by the FDA, etc). They always have a reason why they can't say the things they really believe... while simultaneously wanting me to say those things for them.
Americans right now see Donald Trump in exactly the same way. He's the village hero they're arming with a sword while shoving him forward to face the oncoming dragon. Trump, you see, has guts. He's a warrior. He's willing to march into all the battles that everyone else desperately wants to avoid.
Most people, you see, live with an astonishing lack of personal fortitude. They're easily intimidated and often find it easier to go along and get along rather than rock the boat by challenging the status quo. They're afraid to go against the grain, speak the truth in a crowded room or express an obvious fact that isn't politically correct. (Like the simple fact that vaccines damage children or that chemotherapy kills cancer patients.)
But individuals like Donald Trump and the Health Ranger (that's me) have a reputation for kicking ass, speaking out and fighting for truth, even in the face of organized, systemic suppression of that truth. Because of that, people often call on us to speak up for them and say the things they are too afraid to say themselves.
That's why I deeply understand why Donald Trump is so popular: He's the warrior who's willing to take on the establishment that everybody knows is crooked and corrupt. Trump is willing to say the words of truth that everybody else already believes but is too afraid to utter. "Build a wall! Kick out the illegals!" Everybody's thinking it -- especially African-Americans who are losing their jobs due to illegals -- but few are willing to say it for fear of being publicly condemned.
Donald Trump is America's surrogate mouthpiece
When Donald Trump announces that politicians are stupid, the media is lying and the government is incompetent, he's speaking for all Americans who have noticed precisely the same thing. Secretly, the American people know Trump is telling the truth, even if they wouldn't dare acknowledge that in their social group or in a media interview.
To maintain social conformity, people have to publicly say ridiculous things like, "The government cares about people." But privately, they know that's complete nonsense.
And here's why this matters: Voting is anonymous. It's private. Nobody knows how you voted in an election unless you tell them.
This means people can say one thing publicly while voting in precisely the opposite way at the voting booths.
That's why I predict that if the 2016 election comes down to Clinton vs. Trump, Donald Trump will win in a landslide.
It may never come to that, of course. I'm not sure Hillary Clinton can survive her runaway criminality and the fact that nearly all informed Americans simply don't trust her. I'm also not entirely sure that Donald Trump will become the Republican nominee, either. The idiotic GOP establishment, predictably, is trying to destroy Trump to make sure their own favorite nominee -- Jeb Bush -- gets crowned King.
But if it come down to Clinton vs. Trump, I have no doubt Trump would win in a landslide for the simple reason that most people privately agree with him.
