Reply To: Donald Trump

the worst he can do (which is ironically the best for most of us) is run a third party campaign that hands the election over to the Democratic Party

Do you not have any kind of vote transfer? Here in Australia we can vote for a minority party and if they don’t win the seat, our vote is transfered either according to our preference (indicated when placing our vote) or by the minority party’s preferences (determined by the party to best represent the party’s interests.

So we have two main parties, who win the majority of the seats, but alot of those votes come from peoples’ preferences after their initial vote failed to win the seat.

On to the Trump issue: American politics appear to be a farce. In that vein, Trumps candidacy is a natural progression.
