The effect of Trump on the GOP is echoed by Sanders on the Democratic Party, except this party is saddled (or is it addled?) with the face of Hillary. Here is a good comment, granted this is a Sanders pitchman.
Quote:
“There’s a longing for real authenticity in politics today,” said Tad Devine, a Democratic strategist who is advising Sanders. “People feel that the candidates are too manufactured, there’s not enough spontaneity. They want someone who, even if they don’t agree with them, is telling it like they see it, really leveling with voters. I see that with Bernie and I think with Trump, too. It’s resonating very powerfully.”

With 17 candidates on the GOP side and Trump leading the charge, there is a lot more drama there letting Hillary hide. This will change soon. As for the billionaire backing, Scott Walker is tanking in the polls. So I am not sure it's money anymore though this will change during the general election campaign.
