    Yes, but all those other politicians tend to not be so… “extreme” with their crowd-pleasing language.

      Possibly, but they are also not getting this kind of publicity. American politics seems to be about being very extreme in your views, and they dont have to be true, just appear to be on the peoples side.

        Sanders hardly got any publicity. And like Sanders, I thi i This Guy gets some publicity now, but eventually the media will stop caring.

        The only kinds of publicity that keeps going in the American media are extreme “America first! America number one!” type rhetoric, or the kind that’s easily demonised.

        Stuff that makes too much sense never lasts long.
