    If you want your annual income taxed at about 40% Bernie is your man. If you are happy with the way things are going Killary is your woman. If you want something different Trump is your man. Like Monty Python use to say " now its time for something completely different".

    Who was it PT Barnum who said "A sucker is born every minute"? If you believe Trump is for the little guy I've got a bridge to sell you.

    So who is for the little guy .......... the Clinton dynasty 2 for one sale that gave us NAFTA , or Bernie, who as a typical socialist knows what is best for us and will do as this one we have now and force it down our throats ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Generally it's good to look at the policies candidates advocate. With Clinton you get the democratic policies with Trump you get the republican policies.
    Some of them are the same no matter which side you choose, so it makes sense to compare the differences.
    For example democrats would be pro-union, republicans would be anti-union; democrats would be for more social programs and probably some tax increases, republicans would be for less social programs and probably some tax decreases; democrats would be for more gun control, the republicans would be for less gun control.

    Neither Clinton, nor Trump is a third party candidate. He needs the money and the resources of the republican party and the only way he gets them is by agreeing to the party policies. That's what is happening right now - he is making 'deals' with the various factions in order to get their backing, so at the end of the day he will be beholden pretty much to the same policies as any other candidate would've been. May be in a somewhat rearranged priorities, but that's all.

    In any case the party establishment wasn't anti-Trump, it was anti-Cruz. With Trump you get a very different style, but the substance likely won't change much, while Cruz could've changed the power balance within the party completely.
