As the primaries close, it is almost sure that we are going to see a Hilary Clinton Vs Donald Trump coming this November. Hilary is going to be face of democrats while Trump will spearhead republican's aspiration of white house.
The oldest democracy today is at a very interesting state of affairs. It has domestic challenges like illegal immigration, jobs, Gun violence and global challenges like rise of ISIS, global warming, and impact of EU melt down.
While republicans have more rightist and conservative views on these, democrats tend to have liberal, leftist views. What makes the battle more interesting is that the two front runners of these parties have completely diverse backgrounds. While Hilary is a seasoned politician and FLOTUS at a point of time, Trump happens to be a shrewd business leader with no experience in politics whatsoever.
Given the background, Trump had an incredible journey so far coming out as a winner among eleven presidential nominees of republicans. Political researchers say it's not going to be an easy battle for Hillary for two main reasons, one - the fear of anti-incumbency and two - popularity of Donald trump as change agent. The fear of anti-incumbency is prevalent.
The last time democrat govt lasted for more than two terms consecutively was at the time of World War 2 during Roosevelt's regime. Since then, there was never a democrat govt which lasted for more than 8 years. Secondly the popularity of Donald trump is clearly high among youth and old American citizens. They look at him as a change agent from conventional politics. The change mantra always has subscribers.
Apparently, this distinction between these two front runners is also conspicuous when one looks at the campaign money raised by both the parties. It's estimated that Hillary has risen around $313.9M for the election campaign when compared to $65.3M raised by Donald trump for same reason.
