Many people are assuming that there is absolutely no way Donald Trump will win the 2016 presidential election. I believe Donald Trump has the best chance of taking control of this great country.

Now more than ever, we’re fed up with politics. This is probably why the most entertaining topics this month dealt with the presidential debate.
