Trump is leading among republicans. I feel like this is cause for concern. Money is influence in American elections, and Trump is willing to burn it all for his legacy. His name has been in American pop culture for decades, and if he wins he'll stamp it on everything like so much urine.

Man. Could you imagine if Trump won the Republican primary and all of the democrats thought the election was so in the bag, they didn't hit the poles? It'd be "Dewey Defeats Truman" all over again.

"President Trump"

This makes me cringe and I'm not even American.

Oh god. Svt (swedish public service) is writing horrified articles about Trump and Jeb and (effing) Walker. (I went to a Madison public school around 2010/2011)

Also unions are omni-present in Sweden so Swedish people quite dislike Walker and the Koch brothers.

That's why you see so many initiatives on the ballot during election years. Bush was largely re-elected by people who came to make gay marriage illegal but stuck around to vote Shrub into office.

I got your 2016 election right here.
