Not sure either of those are the real reasons why Trump and Hillary are running but this will be the most widely disliked offering in American History. Bloomberg could step in and win this as third party. Hillary could be in jail before this is over and Trump will be the first nominee to be disliked by the majority of his own party.
The Bizzarro world is the dem candidate is offering what is in comparison rational solutions and the republican is a populist sugar daddy telling them what they want to hear and offering easy free solutions. If someone had written a book where an over grown oopa loompa billionaire from New York with a history of supporting liberals and and efo to match his fortune would go to Alabama and win the redneck vote the story would have been considered unbelievable. Maybe I was wrong all along and the republican really as stupid as liberals like to believe.
