Reply To: Donald Trump

If Trump somehow manages to avoid a complete meltdown and actually gets the Republican nomination, then he could very well win. Don’t forget that the Citizens United SCOTUS decision virtually guarantees that corporations will pour millions of dollars into the election, mostly supporting whoever the Republican nominee is. The Koch brothers have personally pledged over $900 million into getting a Republican into the White House. If Trump gets the nomination, he will also have his multi-billion dollar personal fortune to support him. If Hillary gets the Democratic nomination, even with her Wall Street backers, she will be hard pressed to compete against this onslaught of greed arrayed against her. Sanders, with his unwillingness to resort to creating a super-pac will be in even worse shape. If Trump does end up as a third party candidate, the Democrats will still have a huge challenge to combat against the billions of dollars that they will be up against.
