Are they that similar? Did you see that the UK went back to socialist? I think Trump is inevitable all the way to the top at this point. Even I have to admit that I'm sick of carefully measured political speak. I like Cruz a lot but he won't go far because he is too intellectual and just sounds like a smarter politician/lawyer.
I find mydamself wondering what it will be like with a Trump president.
Similar in their offbeat-edness? Yes, I believe so.
Similar in their anti-establishmentarianism? Yes, I believe so, although I'm less convinced about B.S.
Trump or No Trump (I still expect him to crash and burn sometime before November), I believe the Democrat is inevitable. The typical brain-dead American voter wants more sh*t. And everybody just KNOWs Democrats are all about the little guy and Republicans pander to evil rich people and their corporations.
