2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSanders and Trump are both good at pointing out problems with our country..
but neither is good at offering details on how to solve them. Any idiot can see we have problems in this country but fixing them is a very difficult complex task.
Hillary referred to this during the debate the other night when she jabbed at Sanders "Describing the problem is a lot easier than trying to solve it..
Bernie and Trump have connected well with the angry pissed off voters but those same voters will be even more angry when they find out their candidates (if they win) cant deliver what they have vaguely promised.

(3,089 posts)Just not a way to bring a country together. Two angry old white men shaking their fingers in our faces just doesn't set well with me.

(38,437 posts)The OP illustrates nicely the similarities of the candidates. The Sanders supporters and highly abusive but don't show the violent tendencies of the Trump crowd, but I'd be curious what would happen if Trump protesters started disrupting Sanders rallies.
