This is not a right vs left debate

Yeah, because "Hope and Change" had so many teeth to it.

You want to talk about idiots and idiotic policies...Look at Sanders. Free college and healthcare for all. a 90% tax rate for the wealthy and increased taxes for all. Yet none of his supports realize they will pay, a lot. They think the Gov't and the wealthy will pay for all.

Oh, and what amazing policies is Hillary advocating?

And no, I'm not a Trump supporter.

Yes, you are right. President Clinton was a victim. And he was excused for it. Monica should have spent time in prison. I feel so bad that I thought badly of President Clinton. I just didn't get it, but I do now. If a woman hits on you it's OK. I'll tell my wife.

Or...or...or...it was consensual and neither of them was a victim. Or does that possibility not exist in your mind? Thinking badly of someone doesn't make them a "predator", you know. You did allude to who the victim might be....let's see if you can figure it out.

But the fact Trump has made it this far shows how many idiots this country has.

I agree with only this first sentence, and would add that Bernie Sanders' success on the D side shows more of the same.

Here's my take:
Many people who want to be Republican but are too irritated with government, and all else Republican are willing to grasp at Trump, hoping for something different. Meanwhile...

Many who want to be Democrat but are either too irritated with government, or would prefer to support someone other than Hillary given her track record for honesty, are willing to cling to Bernie, hoping for something different.

Between Trump's support in the 30th percentile among R's and Bernie near 50% on the D side, that's nearly 40% of our country who falls into the category of "anybody but someone from the establishment," without regard to how realistic their plans are, or how damaging Bernie or Trump might be to our country. Of course, some of that 40% are just idiots, but most are probably just fed up.
