Would the hype, both positive and negative be any different or would we being pretty much what we're seeing now?
I know that's vague and broad. My question is something to the effect of would people generally, regardless of which side of the aisle they're on, be reacting any differently than they are now if a different Repub candidate had won? Would the press, both left and right leaning, treat him/her differently? Would the opposition be calmer and/or more cooperative or would we, for the most part, be seeing substantially the same things we are now?
My belief is that, personal as the criticism often gets with Trump (and yes, he makes it super easy sometimes) any of the other candidates would encounter pretty much exactly the same, both in support and in hostility.
I believe it would. Some of this is Trump's own fault because he doesn't seem to be able to control his mouth. If he had a more likable personality, I think it would be different. It seems most people are not so much against policy as much as against the way he presents it.
