From how the British media is portraying him (as a racist buffoon with no political ideologies or experience, trying to shake up the money and old guard of politics, when he has little in the way of achievable policies and is making unsustainable promises) I have cast my vote in that he won't get elected in the first place, and secondly in the off chance he did then he would have little power in actually implementing his radical ideas as he would need these to pass congress.
I could be wrong, however over here in Blighty that is very much how the mainstream media outlets are portraying him.

I think Trump is doing that all by himself... without the need of The Sun chipping in.
As the token American. Trump is terrifying. He's basically a total wind up artist who's using prejudice and fear to capture voters.
There are still a lot of racist, poorly educated humans of voting age in the states, and that's who's voting for him. There's no way he or any other republican is going to win the presidency.
Now the really scary part is that Clinton, who has a vast history of breaking laws, and killing people who try and bring them to light (back when Bill was governor), and who blatantly broke federal laws around secrecy, appears to be the strongest candidate.
Sanders is the most sane, and logical choice. But he's fighting an uphill battle against the established electoral voting system. The sitting senate members want no part of the changes he'd demand. So they'll tell their super delegates to vote for Clinton even if Sanders wins the votes of the people.
(Just because you win the people's vote doesn't mean the electoral college members have to vote that way, and the super electoral voters that somehow get more votes than others, is a total goat rodeo of a process).
Basically...I'm happy living in Ireland at this point.

Trump got 60.4% of the vote in New York last night.
He got 84 delegates.
Second place Kasich got 4 delegates, and 25% of the vote.
Trump recently (this week) polled at 50% of the American public. That's from both sides of the fence, not just Republicans. I'm sure the poll is skewed, but even so...
At some point the people saying 'Trump can't win' have to step back and re-evaluate, don't they?
Killary Clinton is a way worse animal, as corrupt as they come, yet a far better politician.
Bernie is a communist (this is American for 'socialist'). I don't think he stands a chance.
I do think Kill-Dog may win, but if so she could end up the first indicted US president. Her bullsh1t isn't going away. Once she's president it will get blown wide open.

Did you see where he said "I love the poorly Educated!"
I was like, 'yeah, not sh1t you do!"
Classic. It's amazing he's carrying so many votes when he sticks his foot in his mouth at every opportunity. And what's more, every time he makes a tool of himself, he gains more popularity....
