By being so controversial and offensive Trump won getting tons of publicity for free.

Bernie Saunders was not electable IMHO. Too bad the Democrat party has shoved him aside in the Senate leadership this coming session. New boss -- same as the old boss.

So, it is not a matter of equal time -- Hillary was only bad news while Trump was mixed news. Trump had a better message to slightly smaller group of followers. He won by being what his 'constituency' wanted to hear. Now comes the really hard part ...
I agree, especially with the "Now comes the really hard part". He will be up against 535 Members of Congress. Some will go with him and I think most will try to stop him. Even Republicans if he tries to slow down illegal migration and export of jobs.

That's why people have to start making those 535 Members of Congress scared of losing their jobs. Voting for an outsider is the way to scare them. Thinking you can change them and vote for them is foolish.

What's the Third biggest Party in the US?
