In the past week there has been discussions of not only building a wall along Mexico (to prevent rapists, crime, and drugs), but now Canada. Polling has over 60% of Trump supporters believing Obama is both a Muslim and an immigrant born in Kenya. This is the man leading at the moment for the GOP. The two leading GOP candidates have zero political experience.
Sanders, who has admitted to being a socialist in the past, isn't even bring viewed as a threat by the right. I really haven't heard anything negative yet on Sanders from the conservatives. Considering how Obama is laughably considered by many on the right as a socialist/communist, Sanders would probably be Stalin's reincarnate. At the moment, most of the focus is on the Clinton e-mail servers. Unless there is some major shake-up with Clinton, I just don't see Sanders overtaking her. Even then, I would imagine Biden would most definitely step in. It is refreshing to see someone with the views of Sanders getting around 20% of the Dem support, but on the other hand worrying someone like Trump getting similar numbers on the right.
I think Trump really exposes how ridiculous American politics are. Essentialy one of the most important jobs in the world and on the republican side you have either the choice of a 3rd Bush administration or Donald Trump, they'd be better off with Donald fucking Duck.
Trump plays off all that right media bullshit and tells those what they want to hear, he himself is an idiot only in America could a man like that make the money he has.
Then you have Clinton on the other side, a corparate puppet who will do nothing but carry on the work of Obama, Bush and good old Bill "I did not have sexual affairs with that woman" Clinton. Hoping those Wikileaks really effect her as she'd be a terrible choice and a likely winner IMO.
Saunders on the other hand is very well spoken, highly educated and a good guy. He'd really change America for the better. Without the donations or media on his side it's going to be extremely tough, in fact near impossible.
Only back from the US and to see so many people homeless and living off tips in the richest country in the world broke my heart. A great country in so many ways but the class divide is sickening. Not just money either, access top education and medical care also. It's a ruthless place.
