Ted cruz is the only hope they have out of the existing candidates., sadly I don't think he'll get the numbers.

Trump or Clinton...fail !!!!!!!!

He is a centrist progressive.
America should have stayed with England, at least they would have a system that works now.

European nations have parties from all across the political spectrum.
America has 2 right wing parties basically.

I've lived here since my birth in 1965. And I've spent a month wandering your country as well. I've also visited the UK.

I'm probably going to get hammered for this post , good on trump for coming out and speaking the truth / his mind . It's quite refreshing to see a candidate come out and not be afraid of what he or she for speaking there mind.
I look at Hillary and to me she comes across as a born breed political puppet , my only concern with Trump is how /plan are you going to make America great again .

Just my 2c

The problem is, it mostly comes out as gibberish.

Besides blocking Muslims from entering the US and building a wall to keep the Mexicans out, can you tell me what other policies Trump has explained?

I love his China policy..!

Bang on. Sage Francis put it quite succinctly;

Quote:
Republicrat, Democran, one party system.
Bernie Sanders is the only one who'd at least try to change that sad fact.
