> My theory: people are just hacked off that life is getting worse for most people while billionaires get richer and richer. Every disaster the wealthy get handouts while the poor have to pay for them. Government can no longer afford anything because all of its assets have been sold and rented back at a profit.

So they support the candidate with the billionares bankrolling him and and doing "million dollar sweepstakes". Give me a break.

the dems don't have billionaires bankrolling them? if two assholes compete, the asshole who's honest about being an asshole is going to be more popular than the asshole who pretends to be such a nice guy.
Trump is the only candidate to advertise himself as a billionaire.
