This is the simple truth, Americans once again are being held hostage between [View all]

the Democrats and the Republicans. This time you are being held hostage to a bigger degree! Trump against Mrs. Clinton, you all are being held hostage again. You have to vote for Mrs. Clinton, the supreme court is at stake plus with a Trump presidency, America will no longer get the respect of the world.

I have no idea why Mr. Sanders is not getting more support, he speaks to us, the working and middle class.

I am at a loss for words why Trump get more people to his rallies. It is only a small proportion of the US who are backing him, he does not have the backing of minorities. Is America so Evangelical that a person like Trump can win the GOP nomination?
