There's always Inductance. You know, if nothing else for the magnetic personality requirements...

There are many different forms of power and many different people wielding it, all with different points of view. Characterizing some group of them as "the establishment", as if they were a monolith and the only center of power is lazy sophistry.

He can be elite (because it takes one to know one...), but he's not part of the establishment.  He's a billionaire average Joe.  A stable genius who relates with the average guy on the street.  Born a millionaire, yet he understands your struggles.  He's a real man's man (ask Arnie), but the ladies all love him.  He's George Clooney, Warren Buffett, Hulk Hogan and Tom Hanks all in one amazingly bronze package.

Whatever your question... he's your answer.

Yeah, could be since it takes one to know one.

But not in my book.

He IS the establishment - just packaged to make people like you think he's not so they can keep milking the system.

OBTW ... Harris currently has $1 Billion in her campaign fund with three weeks to go.
