They are just the trolls of election 2016. They may have something to shape their respective party's platforms but little more -- I am just dismissive of their stated goals and can see through their bullshit.

Thing is, none of the other candidates (Hillary included) are offering any convincing solutions. Instead, it's just the same tired old finger pointing and cliches we've been getting from both the Republicans and the Democrats seemingly forever.
The American public is sick of it. And they're even more sick of the so called new normal.
Hence, a large proportion of the electorate, Democrats and Republicans both, will eagerly welcome anyone -
anyone - who can even half convincingly offer up a better solution.
That's why Trump (of all people) has caught fire and that's also why Sanders is steadily gaining on Hillary.
This is going to be an interesting election.
