The USA needs political reform! Whether anyone agrees with Bernie Sanders or not, there should be constitutional change on lobbying rules. Corporations that fund political campaigns is the closest thing to legitimized corruption that you would ever see. Campaign dollars should not come from the private sector. Each political party should have a fixed amount of govt dollars used for campaigns and distribute them evenly to those running for the primaries.
Trump is doing well, in large part, because he is not acting like a typical politician and because he sais he is funding his own campaign - this for whatever reason is resonating with people and they think he speaks the truth but people refuse to FACT check him on everything he sais as it is almost always factually incorrect. Sanders is largely doing the same thing although he is getting direct funding from supporters (not private sector) - but the reality is a 70 year old Jew is simply not resonating with mainstream american voters. His policies, ironically, are more suited to blacks and hispanics but they keep voting for Clinton. Clinton is very much the status quo and is majorly funded by the private sector - I don't like her personally, but hell, if its her or Trump, its a no-brainer.
What can I say? I am stumped....or Trumped!
