NEW YORK CITY—Is this change to finally believe in? That's the question Ethan Penner asks in his most recent blog post "Donald Trump, Civilian," as he looks at the recently announced Presidential candidacy of the famous real estate personality and political outsider.

Penner writes:

"Perhaps ask yourself what the lifetime preparation in politics did to serve Mrs. Clinton in her tenure as Secretary of State—a run for which she has not a single solitary achievement and much egg on her face. Or, if you favor the other flavor of politician, what G.W. Bush's career in government did to inform him on the decision to invade Iraq? Isn't it high time we get a complete non-politician in there? This would be a truly historical moment for our nation—a moment of real liberation from this entrenched political class and the special interests that control them and therefore us."
