Most Americans don’t favor Trump: Analyst
Press TV has conducted an interview with Paul Street, an author and political commentator, and Michael Lane, the founder of the American Institute for Foreign Policy, to discuss the US presidential race.
Street says the number of Americans who hold unfavorable views of Trump and Hillary Clinton—the Democratic front-runner in the race—indicates that if they became the nominees of their parties, they would win a small number of votes in the US 2016 presidential election.
He says Trump is an inexperienced politician, with 59 percent of Americans holding an unfavorable view of him. He says 56 percent of the people in the US also view Clinton negatively.
Street says Trump resorts to fascist and populist remarks to agitate people and absorb more votes. Trump’s populist rhetoric, he says however, upsets the Republican Party and the Wall Street corporate elite.
Pointing to the give-and-take between Republican hopefuls, Street says the GOP debate has been characterized by “infantile personality conflicts.”
Lane, for his part, believes the debates of presidential candidates have been “non-substantive” in terms of laying out policies for future of the United States.
He says Trump’s supporters think “Washington is just so irrevocably broken that it needs to be blown up and rebuilt from scratch,” thus, “they are looking for a brand new start to the way we conduct our government because they believe it is not a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”
