Dislike of long time politicians?
I believe the "Dislike of long time politicians" is just part of the GOP anti-government push.
I see no benefit of having uncaring business types over people who have been in government.
I have a friend that hates politicians, this seems very arbitrary to me, some people that are working in government do not do as I wish, I don't vote for them!
But generally, have experience in government is a good thing, if I were to hire a manager, I would like to see their track-record.
So if an ad states, X person is an evil politician, that in itself is meaningless, What did the person do which make them evil? Being a politician, is just someone who hold political office.

So, do they trust giant corporations instead?
If they don't like politicians don't vote. Problem solved. I don't like hot spicy food so I don't eat it.
If they'd rather have a queen, king, or a dictator perhaps they could move to another country.
If we don't like our politicians we can vote against them. We are the people who give politicians their jobs. We can also fire them.

I like long time politicians that are intelligent, skilled, honest, honorable & respectful. It's the short term scalpers and shyster and wanna be dictators that I dislike. |

American voters' passion for or against politicians, whether long-term or short-term would be less intense if money didn't control the dialogue, because without the lure of money, we'd have politicians of a very different mindset. We'd have politicians who would want to make positive changes for society overall, rather than favor specific industries that donate a lot of money to campaigns, PACs and lobbying perks. The way our system is set up, legislation and policies will favor the source(s) of the money. When money controls the system, politics will attract people who are only interested in money, and many of them will be great salespeople...like Trump.
