The only useful way I can make sense of Trump and Sanders and what they are addressing is to realize that the U.S. is in a crisis. It reminds me of the "Viet Nam Crisis" of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
However, this time it is about something else. it is about whether the U.S. stays a great nation or becomes a 3rd world nation.
Trump and Sanders are two potential solutions to this economic problem of the death of our middle Class.
Trump's solution would be to become economically isolationist. Sanders solution would be to socialize our country and make taxes 60% to 70% like Norway, Sweden, France, England, Germany etc.
However, by socializing our country we militarily wouldn't be able to be the world's policeman.
By Trump's solution the world economy would suffer while our middle Class regained it's stature here in the U.S.
However, no matter who is elected this problem does not go away. IF Hillary gets elected and doesn't address this we become a 3rd world nation no questions asked.
So, though I see both Trump and Sanders too dangerous to elect not only for America but also for the whole world, still the economic problem of the dying middle Class in the U.S. MUST be addressed or we will simply become an oligarchy. (An oligarchy is of the rich by the rich and for the rich only) and everyone else suffers.
So, even if Hillary is elected she MUST address the real problem of us turning into a 3rd world nation or the world will erupt in war between now and 2050 and likely half the population of earth likely would die in a conflict like that.
So, this is the choice really: Fix the middle Class of Earth or just expect half the world to die suddenly or over a period of time in a really bad war.
If this war comes it will hit the U.S. too this time and wipe out half of our population too. This is a given.
So, either address a dying middle Class or basically lose our nation and our world (at least as we know it now).
