Im guessing you've never met a conservative Nickelback fan
You're reading that backwards. On this Venn diagram, the Nickelback fans and Democrats are shown to be mutually exclusive.

Still be better than hillary.
Trump's liberal proclivities have been a matter of convenience from a businessman's standpoint. It is brilliantly and tactically maniacal if he has in fact returned to his roots now! I like him, find him expressing general concern for the country, with the built in caveat of being financially insulated from being owned and influenced. At least to a much greater degree than any of the others. That is the singular reason he is such a threat to the establishment. This is a good thing.

Yep. Good thing he doesn't accept donations.
Yes it is if he uses it properly.
Accepting donations has a profound effect in establishing and fostering a following. When people have skin in the game it gives them a "warm and fuzzy". Their propensity to pull others into the fold is then exponential to a 10X, 100X, 1000X? With social media it is incalculable actually. The psychological impact on the other camps and ultimately on the left is undeniable.
So not accepting donations is good--it "insulates". And accepting donations is good--it draws people into the fold.
Gotcha.
Only in a tabloid society could a clown like Trump gain enough political support to drown out all the other candidates. The only reason Trump is on top is because the 75% of Republican voters who DON'T WANT TRUMP are split between 15 other candidates.
You "Trump" people and your psychological need to hear tough language, even when it comes from a seasoned pitch man, are going to stick me with the horrible choice between Bush and Trump, and whatever socialist the progressives choose. Sure. I'll be pissed. But I'll try not to blame you. Instead I'll try to focus the blame on the horribly sucky two-party system that guarantees a vote between least evils on election day.
CNN making sure Fiorina doesn't have a chance.

Taken in context, I believe that the point is that when someone sends sums of money large enough to influence your ability to stage a viable campaign, or not be able to do so if the money is withheld, like a grand total of 3 donors providing the $750K that Eric Bassler used to steamroll John Waterman in the last state senate primary, can be said to own the candidate they bought. This is an entirely different phenomenon than people chipping in $5 and feeling like they are part of the team.
