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.

So many smug types on this thread, all desperately trying to convince themselves and each other Trump doesn't have a chance when the numbers contradict this on a daily basis. I was watching CNN earlier and the numbers they had showed a 1 point difference between Trump and Clinton in Pennsylvania, how is that even possible when according to liberals and the general anti Trump crowd, Trump had absolutely no hope of taking a place like this? Don't get me wrong, I don't want Trump but Clinton? God help us

Can't stand Corbyn, hates Cameron. Osborne has "ruined" the economy. Farage is a loudmouth nutter, Boris is Trump's brother. All the rest are wimps. Everything is shite.

Trump is bad. Clinton is bad. All of them are bad...

...but not one peep suggesting anything "good" as an alternative, nor any way forward. We're doomed...

Standard-issue British moan.

Really, all you're saying here is that Clinton has held high office in the U.S. Government and Trump never has. And the idea of someone running for president who has never held senior military or civilian government offices (or been a legislator) is certainly novel. Not sure it's an experiment we should be embarking on...
