If anything doesn't he represent a more direct "taking of the reins" by the lobbyist/corpo class? Even most lifer politicians themselves are more "outsiders" than he is/was.

It's weird that people believe he is a political outsider. I've never heard a holistic/logical argument showing he is somehow more divested or decoupled from the implicit oligarchy class that ultimately is deciding legislation/law/executive orders these days.

I guess it's because he's bounced around parties and people are really firmly sold on the republican/democrat binary, seems superficial to me but I'd be willing to hear any cogent argument made.
