Polar opposites are pulling from the same pool of voters. Many voters eschew the establishment, deciding between Senator Sanders and The Donald.
The two candidates are fire and water. One is a european style socialist, the other a billionaire capitalist. Bernie is committed to public service. Trump serves his own gold plated whims. Bernie talks policy, while the ego driven Trump recites poll numbers as if they were boffo reviews. Trump is an ultra nationalist, who has yet to find a minority that he will not degrade. Bernie is poly cultural.
But if you want to bring the house down, you may not care whether by conflagration or flood. Both promise a political revolution. Both promise to fix a rigged system. Neither is receiving financial support from the business or political elite. Both are against foreign entanglements and free trade. Although in the case of Trump beauty must be in eye of the supporter, both are regarded as telling it like it is.
Still the choice should be simple. Bernie may be a true believer, but Trump truly only believes in himself. If voters cannot pull the lever for Hillary, the best qualified candidate, they should at least select the guy with the best intentions.
