I get villainizing big banks and their CEO's, attacking the Industrial Military Complex and corporations running elections, but to basically lump all "billionaires" into that same group is undermining the American dream. To base your campaign and beliefs on giving hope to a bunch of deadbeats and soon to be college kids, which IMO is pretty much at the heart of the Sanders campaign is no different than a story that's been told and used since the midievel times... Modern day Robin Hood is all he is to me.
All of his ideas when it comes to money are completely unrealistic.
On the flip side... Trump is sort of a genius in that he has completely manipulated the Republican party. He is, without question, a Democrat at heart... A Democrat that knew he had absolutely no shot at winning the nomination in that party... So what did he do? He decided there would be nothing easier than pulling the wool over a bunch of mouth breathing, right wing bigoted whack jobs and tugging at the strings of the issues that they think are closest to their hearts, all the while tearing down one by one the candidates that actually do support the ridiculous antiquated beliefs and ideology of the now defunct party.
Sorry to say Druff, as far as Presidential elections go, the Republican party is dead. Libertarian party will most likely rise within the next 4 election cycles IMO, and Republicans will be in the minority.
