Anybody really save that Wall Street/AFLCIO creature, Ms Clinton (who already enjoyed the perks of living in the White House for 8 years during her hysband's presidency).
Rubio is the establishment on the Republican side of things, he's no different than Clinton to the eyes of most Americans. He'd probably enact a similar government to Bush.
Cruz is a religious nutjob and a threat to stability when it comes to foreign politics

Sanders and Trump are the only decent option with the difference that the first has a clue about what's he talking and has years and years of experience of political activism as well as having quite definite policies he wants to enact while Trump flip flops from an opinion to the other

A Sanders presidency has already been presaged several times around the world, and it's not a pretty sight.

Remember this? French capital flight spikes as Hollande hits business | Telegraph Online

At best you can hope for a Hollande-style government where his early socialist policies resulted in massive capital outflows, prompting him to abandon many of those policies out of desperation. At worst, you may have a Venezuela-style economic catastrophe.

I can imagine many of the big banks fleeing to Hong Kong or London under Sanders.

As funny as that would be, it's all academic because Clinton will ultimately trounce Sanders' campaign in the primaries. Everything is rigged to favor the Wicked Witch of Washington moving into the White House.

Is that sarcasm? I'm not surprised at all.

Trump is a typical populist leader. All the protests and fights breaking out are the start of the USA tearing itself apart.

USA will become Venezuela 2.0 if this continues.

In Short~~ He's a self serving "Bag of Hot Air"..who doesn't do or say anything without a well thought out "Cause and Affect" flame throwing to Gain ATTENTION ..including Instagram, twitter ,rallies, interviews that get repeated ( in loops) constantly 24/7 on cable channels.. It's beyond annoying..then of course the constant media questions of all other running Candidates's responses..then the staple..Pundits weighing in with their thoughts

He has also empowered anyone within and throughout the world to use HIS (First Amendment Right) own words to prove to the minority of Muslims ( ISIL) that America HATES ALL MUSLIMS!! Talk a about a recruiting tool!!

Then of course Latino's are all free-loaders ( umbrella of being likely illegal/or anchor babies/Dreamers) that need to be DEPORTED!! Then of course bashing literally EVERYTHING that is going on by Obama/Government Officials/Trade/Economics blah blah....

What's so glaringly different..He does NOT portray anything positive..ONLY that Trump is America's Saviour ..just because he is TRUMP!! I won't even go into his empowering the closeted bigots/racists to come out with assurances that He will pay their legal fees.. Trump describes them as Passionate...anyone not agreeing are THUGS!! Yep..Just what you all need to deal with other "World Leaders"

The two leaders trailing in the Republican side are a xenophobe populist and a man who seems like he wants to enforce an evangelical theocracy as well as being a warmonger to boot. Both are equally as dangerous and will slowly cause the loss of any credibility the Republican used to hold until last year.

It's a shame that Trump took such a hard stance on immigration, didn't refuse KKK's endorsement and encourages violence in his speech. Some of his economic and social policies aren't ****ed up.

Anyway, if i were an American i'd still never want him to get anywhere near the White House and if i didn't want either Cruz or Trump to win and they were my only choices in the Republican camp i would vote for the former because he wouldn't stand a single chance both against Hillary or Bernie

I'm rapidly losing interest in following the mayhem. The Republican convention is in July. I might tune in for the results. Whoever gets the nomination, it's a disastrous watershed moment for the party, and it's anyone's guess what they'll do to regroup after the election. Which I predict they'll lose in a huge way.

Just very grateful it ain't happening in my country.

Sanders has voted in favour of all American interventions abroad (except Iraq but he voted to fund the war three times and three times he did not) and he was (is) in favour of funding Syrian rebels and drone strike, he has literally no clear ideas about foreign policy in a moment where the world is going aflame.
Without even speaking that out of 203 bills he managed to pass 2.
Not that Trump is a Nobel prize winner, but for sure Sanders isn't a bright mastermind.
