It’s happening! According to a new poll, Americans have finally maxed out their tolerance for “lesser evils” in presidential politics. The survey, published by independent research firm, Data Targeting, found a majority of Americans now want an independent candidate to take on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — two of the most disliked candidates in recent history.
The longer Bernie Sanders stays in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the more unraveled and divided his party is becoming.
Recently we showed Senator Barbara Boxer's epic meltdown in Nevada, when she completely lost it after being booed by Sanders supporters. The scene was indicative of just how frayed and chaotic the Democratic party is right now, something the mainstream media won't cover of course, as it doesn't fit into the anti-Trump narrative the media dutifully is carrying out.
Anti-Trump Republicans can’t find a candidate, and it seems that one of the biggest boosters of a protest campaign doesn’t have much support at home:

My initial reaction was the same as (my former roommate) Michael Brendan Dougherty’s. He explains in The Week:
U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has confirmed with reporters that he will visit Israel after the Republican convention in July and before November’s general election. Israel National News reports: His confirmation came after the Trump campaign on Monday denied an Ma’ariv report last Friday, according to which he will visit Israel, Russia and Germany after the convention. A close adviser to Trump was cited in the report as saying the trip was meant to improve his image and to keep him more abreast of foreign affairs.
