United States Of America
Comment: the arrogance of Power
On “Super Tuesday” in the United States, it is now far more than people. It comes to the question of how populist politicians have to be, to be able to elections to win at all. Ines Pohl, commenting from Texas.
Fear is spreading in America. At least in large Parts of the educated elite and the political Establishment. Also at the end of this election day, it will be hot once again: The Winner is … Donald Trump. Again he will triumph unchallenged, and the talk shows, Twitter Hashtags, and shock master rows.
The fact no one was prepared. Not with the Democrats. And even worse, not even the Republicans, who obviously have neither concept of nor against a candidate, to stop this man. How did this happen, was the question these days. You may determine the discourse. It is wrong however, if you remain at the Trump.
Ines Pohl, US-correspondent of the DW
Donald Trump himself would not like to hear it: But he is more than a product of his time. It is only possible, because both major parties have found no answers to the questions that surround the people. You do not respond to the Concerns of the people, in this globalized world. Because they have no economic concepts, such as with the fact is to deal, that the poor of this world are not ready, the huge gap between the first, second and third world. The poor desire and call for participation, with violence.
Also the Bush’s and Clinton’s have contributed to the fact that Donald Trump is happening. Not just America, the whole world groaned at the idea that at the end of a Bush and a Clinton against each other to re – enter the White house would fight. Cartoonist found the super. The American voters felt, but instinctively cheated. How democratic a country may be 322 million inhabitants, if one has, for decades, again and again, the selection of members of two families. This feeling of Betrayal, made a Bernie Sanders with the Democrats, and Donald Trump at the Republicans at all possible.
Duration of arousal in Social networks
What America is experiencing is far more than just a bizarre spectacle, fuelled by the duration of excitation in the social networks. This election will show whether politicians are more or less fixed on the floor of the democratic basic order, the fight against heavy-handed populist themes and frightening nationalism can ever win.
At least here in America, there is also the arrogance of Power that many are blind to the real condition of your country and the willingness of so many people, its common sense to switch off, to lose yourself in an American dream that is gone for good.
All indications are that Hillary Clinton will be on “Super Tuesday” is the clear winner for the Democrats, and it is then only a matter of time, when Bernie Sanders gets out.
A Chance for John Kasich
In the case of the Republicans alone is exciting, whether or not Ted Cruz, the Junior Senator from Texas, can at least win his own state. If not, is it tight for him. Senator Marco Rubio will go down as the third target, and probably more to make up for it then the decision in Florida. He loses there, it is also, for him, is definitely over.
And John Kasich, the only real moderate Republicans in the remaining field? He should get out, and the last use attention, to do something unheard of: Hillary Clinton support. Ultimately, he would do the Republicans a great Favor. Because it is hard to imagine how the party of Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery, a presidential candidate does not want to survive, keeps it even necessary, to distance themselves from the racist secret society of the Ku Klux Klan.
