Seriously, as a non American I do not understand how someone so obviously a creep like that has a chance to win. Please explain because it scares the shit out of me, that man is an obvious sociopath. Update: Thanks for the answers people, I will try and add the main reasons given in the replies to this post here; racism (apparently wide spread in the USA) Ignorance (apparently just as wide spread) Rigged voting machines The Bible Belt (apparently that is religion, racism and ignorance in a mix) Fox News Fear To be honest, those answers do not take away my fear for the most powerful militarized nation on earth with a warmongering sociopath as its leader, it is all very disturbing, the world is still not recovered from the Bush insanity.
