The American ruling class are of two types: Republican i.e. the Rich Guys & Democrats i.e. the College guys. The rulers of that country is always one of the two. Either a product of the wealthy rich guys or a product of the intellectual collegiate type. No other kind can get even a toe in.
Put Ronald Reagan at the center of the ideal Republican candidate the extreme right of who stands Trump.
Put Bill Clinton in the center, extreme left of who stands Jimmy Carter.
Get the picture?
For the Democrats, It doesn't matter if the presidential candidate is black or Hispanic or a woman but the pedigree is clear. Obama, Hillary, Bill, Carter...see the pattern?
For the Republicans, Rich and white? that's self explanatory.
The other shocking bit is that from George HW Bush to Hillary Clinton (if she wins) America would have the dubious distinction of having their rulers come from just 3 families in THIRTY YEARS.
If you go by the clamoring that's happening for Michelle Obama, those 3 families would extend their rule for FORTY YEARS!! Half a bloody century.
Does this sound like a democracy?
China does better than that!
The day a farmer, a waitress, a techie or maybe a tea-vendor becomes their President perhaps we can count them as a real one.
As far as we Indians are concerned, remember just one thing: Americans like every other nation only care for their own interests. So they'll continue to support Pakistan while selling us their weapons.
Right now they're candidates have created a spectacle, so the best thing for us to do is to take a ring-side seat, and enjoy the show they're putting on for us!
