THE TRUMP/SANDERS EARTHQUAKEThe two politically polar-opposites are shattering the 'establishment' on both sides of the isle. Republican and Democrat candidate Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have thrown away the rule book on political campaigns, and as a result are drawing record crowds and supporters from non-traditional sources: young voters and traditional non-voters.'Mad as Hell and not going to take it anymore', the nation's middle-class, is demonstrating their disgust with the leadership emanating from the Washington DC Beltway, as they choose their non-traditional candidates they expect will lead the nation out of the swamp of corruption and political impasse and back onto the solid ground of 'By the People, for the People' form of representative government our nation was founded upon.
