The primary system did this...This is how it happened.

So among the republicans, 34 -38 percent of them favor Trump. Now, if there was one very strong opponent, he would not have won. But.....among 13 others, he was the strongest..given he had more solid support than the others. The others had their "faults" and they failed to gain strength. So Trump emerged with the most support..and became the nominee...

In Nazi Germany in the early 30s, before he was made the boss, it was exactly the same. Hitler had the same amount of support among the Germans as did Trump among the Republicans. At the time, the President Paul von Hindenburg. had to choose a Prime Minister,,( Chancellor as it was called in Germany) from the crowd of politicians who had just competed in an election..He choose Hitler because it seems that he would bring the most stability to a torn country..January 30, 1933....The rest is history...

Now..Hillary is a very strong leader. She has most of the support from the establishment and a majority of the population.. Although Trump still has that support among his base, Hillary is the lone opponent not a field of many as was the Republican Primary. Yes, the media wants a "horse race" , but this is no race of horses. This is an election where most see Trump for what he is. There is a fear that Trump will win like in 2000 or back in the early 30s in Germany. Perhaps that fear is real..but, that outcome is impossible if we all vote the way we think. The great majority of the population is totally against Trump to be President of the United States. If that majority votes, Trump cannot win..no matter what the media says...

This is not the republican primary or Germany in the early 30s. Trump's support is a minority, and Hillary's support is a very strong majority.. (oh, and the other two candidates from minor parties..who I will not name.will not affect this election..can they can go to hell !!!! )_
