Bernie Trump
How long will the glorious spectacle that is the Trump campaign be around for our entertainment and edification? Part of the fun is that it forever seems on the edge of blowing up. The nearer Trump comes to self destruction the higher his rise in the poles, already beating the nearest Republican by a factor of two.
His candidacy ,and the campaign of Democrat Bernie Sanders don't necessarily appeal to the same sort of voter but do have a lot in common. Both are insurgent campaigns. The narrative goes something like this ; Things are so messed up in this country that we can no longer settle for the same old same old. Voting for the usual suspects only brings the usual results. It's time for an outsider , someone who can actually accomplish what other politicians only talk about but so often fail to accomplish because they only now how to play it safe. We need to risk it all on a natural risk taker.
A sizeable portion of one party would gladly vote for someone who calls himself a Socialist, is older than any other candidate for President that I can recall, and comes from a State that might actually be a Canadian province. A sizeable portion of the other party backs a man who appears to be a major league narcissist ,bordering on megalomania, has never held office, is fairly fluid in his political views, and who's chief characteristic is the complete lack of any filter between what he says and whatever pops into his mind. Like I said, two peas in a pod.
