Bernie Sanders, a relatively unknown presidential candidate before 2016, appeared on 57 ballots and gained a whopping 23 states in the first primary. How did this man gain such huge popularity... was it because he had one hell of a campaign team?

Shame that the Labour Party need such support. What does that say about the standard of British Labour Party politicians and campaign teams? Don't quite cut the mustard putting it mildly.

And we could ask, why doesn't Corbyn get invited on to BBC chat shows with pre-prepared questions. Did you see "The One Show" last night? It was the easiest interview ever but May managed to misjudge pretty much all of it. Why are Labour always expected to work off the hoof with non-scripted questions and answers, whilst the Tories get to do the "cuddle interviews?

I didn't see it so difficult to comment. I don't even know if there is any substance to your comments, other than personal opinion.

I'm sure if you'd seen it you would disagree and that's ok. What I saw (and yes, this is my personal opinion) was an idea that backfired terribly. She appears to have given up on being part of the Conservative Party and is presenting herself as a "strong and stable" Presidential Candidate. She came across as strange, out of touch and "weird and wobbly". It was like listening to an "Apprentice" candidate bigging herself up.

I respected May when she was Home Secretary but as La Presidenta she is sadly lacking.

And she thinks she has what it takes to negotiate Brexit? What a joke!
