On the other hand, he has made some claims and promises which do resonate with a large number of people. Whether of not these claims stand up to scrutiny or if the promises are possible, is open to debate. If you disagree, don’t attack the person (that goes nowhere), but argue their points, argue their position, argue their policy.

I've said it before and I feel the need to say it again, it is very easy for a popularism politician to propose simple solutions to what are really complex issues. It's all the fault of the ‘Jews, immigrants, muslims, unmarried mothers, left-handed people <insert minority group here>’ get rid of them and magically we’ll be living in Utopia!

Be very, very careful what you wish for, because sometimes with the best will of intentions, you end up with Auschwitz.
