If Trump wins, it will be because the Democratic Party locked down the nomination for their favourite corporate candidate and ignored the grassroots public support for another nominee. If the DNC wasn't completely in the pocket of mega corporations, they would have had a sure-fire win against the Republican nominee. But the powerful do not want change. They can't actually unleash the full support of the people organized under a coherent set of policies or the people would push for changes that are counter to the corporate interest. So the Clinton dynasty continues, despite Hillary being the embodiment of corruption in America. As for Trump, I don't understand how people can take him seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just part of the show, brought to you by: AMERICAN CORPORATE INTERESTS. Two sides of the same coin, as it were. You didn't think Trump was legit right? Americans are being played for the fools they are.
