Speaking as an old codger, with my best days behind me, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed to read so much parroting of mainstream bullshit on this thread. Whatever happened to youthful questioning of authority and orthodoxy? Has BE's younger generation abandoned all willingness to doubt what they're told by their "betters"?
Trump's and Sanders's main attraction is not their respective policies but the bare fact that they offer themselves as alternatives to the mindless corruption espoused by all the other candidates. As the two major parties are learning, there is a rebellion "out there". It is being cleverly led by the two front-runners, whose supporters to a large degree don't care what their policies are. They are voting for their heroes out of rebellion; that's all.
If Trump is allowed to be the Republican nominee (meaning, if the powers that be don't assassinate him), he would beat Clinton very comfortably, because many Sanders supporters would switch to Trump. Yes, indeed: so-called socialists would prefer the rude capitalist than the corrupt establishment stooge. Make no mistake: this election is putting "the establishment" on notice that their days are numbered. Hence the very real fear of an assassination. Will that happen? It's better than even money, in my book.

No not sayinhg that but another was recently removed because of white supremicist involvement. He has led the kind of campaign that attracts some unsavory types. Hopefully in very limited numbers

The GOP may be stuck with him, but giving Republican voters another option will lessen Trumps chances in the General Election. Just as Nader opened the door for GWB. Hillary is not a done deal, I suspect many Democratic voter may not show up for the election. I'm very conflicted myself, in the end I shall probably hold my nose and vote for Clinton.

I guess it depends on your definition of liberal. If you think Hillary Clinton is liberal, then you can say the mainstream media is liberal.
