Maybe he isn't a loony, but supporters who believe that he will actually succeed in implementing any of his promises are. I am, by nature, a pragmatist. That said, listening to Hillary makes me want to stick pencils in my ears. What a sorry slate on the Democratic side. If this is the best they have, they probably deserve to lose.
I think the only non-compromised pragmatist without a load of baggage is probably Kasich, though he has some views on social issues that I don't agree with. His ability to do anything meaningfully bad on abortion or gay rights are constrained by SCOTUS precedent, so I can live with it.
